PEONIES OF ENGLISH ORIGIN 
Sent out by Kelway & Son 
It has been almost impossible to secure these varieties true to name. Those offered in this list 
are varieties which have been thoroughly tested and found to be not only distinct from the French 
varieties but of especial merit. Nearly all have been described and are listed in the American Peony 
Society’s bulletins. To these have been added some of their most recent introductions that have been 
grown and tested here. 
Included in this list are some of the most beautiful Peonies grown, especially such varieties as 
Baroness Schroeder, Duke of Devonshire, James Kelway, Kelway’s Queen, Miss Salway, Splendida, 
Venus, and others.
