Pæonia Moutan, Mrs. Wm. Kelway.—The flowers of this variety are of great size, double, and white with a tint of blush at the base of the inner petals. The latter are very numerous, long, dentate at the apex, and somewhat crumpled longitudinally. The centre is open, showing numerous yellow stamens, also the ovaries, which seem to be tinted with green, white or pink at different stages of growth. Cut blooms of it were shown by Messrs. Kelway & Son, Langport, Somerset, who received an Award of Merit for them.
