Peonies, The Manual of the American Peony Society, edited by James Boyd © 1928 American Peony Society: [Descriptive List of Chinese Peonies]

JAMES KELWAY. (Kelway, 1900.) 8.7.

Double type; very large; early midseason. Pale pink, becoming almost white with age but retaining a slight flush on outer petals and in center, and displaying a slight yellow tint from intermixed stamens; fragrance not notable. Tall; floriferous; stems not always strong. Foliage good.

A very attractive, loose, fluffy flower of great size, often high and conical with a large, flat crown. Some believe it does best in heavy clay soil, producing stifFer stems and flowers of heavier substance. Does exceedingly well at Kalamazoo, Mich., for Dr. Upjohn.

"Not reliable but does exceedingly well in some soils. Odor not pleasant."— Boyd.

James Kelway (Kelway 1900), blush-white changing to milk-white with golden glow at centre. Very large flowers of exquisite quality and perfect form. Very fragrant. Specially useful as a cut flower. Vigorous and rather tall. Good foliage. Second only to Kel-way's Glorious for perfect beauty. ff.em. Has been recorded as producing as many as sixty blooms to one plant. "One of the grandest paeonies known. It has grown for me an upstanding vigorous stem between four and five feet in height, crowned with a group of five or six flowers of most enchanting beauty. It has a quality of petal which has no equal. It has the colour of untouched white, and a habit of remaining only half open for a long time, when cut in the bud and kept from direct sunlight." From Paeonies in the Little Garden, by Mrs. Edward Harding. *
