PEONY LADY A. DUFF. 



I notice in the Eeview of July 19 

 an article signed by Kelway & Son, re- 

 plying to a note of E. J. Shaylor in 

 regard to Pe(>py Lady Alexandra Duffv* 

 It seems, according to this article, that 

 the variety at issue is a real, live thing, 

 and not a will-o'-the-wisp as vre in 

 America have been led to believe it to 

 be, by the many erroneous varieties 

 which have been received here for it. 



As secretary of the American Peony 

 Society, I have received many commu- 

 nications concerning this peony, and 

 I am glad to see that Messrs. Kelway 

 have come forward with this statement 

 and express a willingness to clear the 

 matter up. The glowing descriptions 

 of this variety have caused peony lovers 

 to become exceedingly anxious to ob- 

 tain it, but so far as J can learn, there 

 is now no one in thi# country who can 

 swear that he has the correct thing, no 

 matter how desirous he may be of being 

 the proud possessor of the variety. It 

 wiU be doing the peony-buying public 

 a real service if Messrs. Kelway will 

 tell us where we can go in this country 

 to see it growing true to name. Shall 

 we visit Mr. Thurlow, at West Newbury, 

 and see his flesh-white variety; Mr. 

 Whitman, at Brookline, and see his white 

 Duchess de Nemours; Mr. Shaylor, at 

 Wellesley Hills, and see his Festiva 

 maxima and Grandiflora nivea plena; 

 Mr. Betscher, at Canal Dover, 0., and 

 see his Andromarensis; Mr. Harrison, 

 at York, Neb., and see his red one; or 

 can they name some other person to 

 whom the true thing has been sent? 



It seems as though among all the 

 plants that have been sent here for this 

 variety there should be at least one. true 

 to name, and we think it incumbent 

 upon Messrs. Kelway to help us locate

this on«y for we are all anxious to make 

 the acquaintance of this beautiful white 

 flower, which aspires to the proud posi- 

 tion of being ' ' one of the grandest 

 peonies existing." ty "^ :/ 



If* they can not point out to us where 

 the correct thing can be seen growing, 

 can they not send a large photograph 

 which can be reproduced for publication, 

 thereby giving us some idea of the char- 

 acter of this flower? It would seem 

 that any one possessing a variety of so 

 much merit as this is represented to 

 have, must have had its portrait taken 

 at the earliest opportunity, and would 

 be glad to have it published.
