Magazine (25 May 1895) Page(s) 370. New Tree Pæonies.—Some notable new Tree Pæonies were shown at the Temple by Messrs. Kelway; the flowers of large size, single or semi-double, and most graceful as compared with those of the full double varieties. The best were Princess of Wales, which has an immense fllower of the purest white colour; Duchess of Teck, white, with long, narrow petals; and a white variety, with a blush tinge on the edges of the petals and a suffusion of the same at their base. Lord Iveagh, which received an award of merit, has a distinct flower of large size, the petals wedge-shaped, narrowing at the base, its colour bright cerise-red. Mrs. J. W. Simcox, salmon-rose; Mr. McMillan, rosy-blush; and Sarah Bernhardt, flesh pink, are all equally beautiful. Such noble flowers ought soon to find a prominent place in many gardens.
