"Mrs. Pleas on Raising Seedling Peonies"
...Kelway's single white, The Queen, was our only plant bearing seeds, blooming before any other kind was open; it was not hybridized, yet from this one planting I have every color and shade from White Swan to Black Beauty. [...]
From this one planting of single white seeds came Elwood Pleas, Midsummer Night's Dream, Gem, Mary, Quaker Lady, Shabona, Mad. Pleas, Walter Morgan, Golden Wedding, Nellie Pleas, Gypsy Queen, Laura E. Pleas, and Rosy Dawn in doubles; and in singles, White Swan, Wild Rose, Golden Cushion, Pocahantas; among the Japanese, Dr. Edgar Pleas, Novelty, Altar Candles, and Golden Nugget represent the best.

Mrs. Pleas' Estimate of Her Own Peonies
Single Varieties (a selection)
Wild Rose — Identical in color with our native wild Rose and Sweetbriar, and clustered the same, with the first-opened flowers fading the same; beautiful, greatly enlarged center of yellow stamens, fully three inches across in the nine-inch blooms, entirely concealing the stigmas.

Mrs. Pleas' Estimate of Her Own Peonies
by Sarah A. Pleas.
While there will be a majority in every 1000 seedlings that could be appropriately named Wild Rose my own sold under that name, is by far the largest and best I have seen and I did not bring any other single pink one here [to her new garden, started while she was in her 80's].  It should have 7 or 8 blooms on each stem, the largest full 9 inches across with a 3 inch downy golden cushion in the center entirely concealing the stigmas which others do not.
