Book (1928) Page(s) 61. A List of Sixty Choice Peonies of the More Expensive Varieties White Varieties Kelway's Glorious (Kelway). 9.8. White. Although not as symmetrical a flower as Le Cygne, we believe this wonderful variety is in every respect as good and that it it entitled to just as high a rating. At the St. Paul show in 1926 Kelway’s Glorious was shown in perfection and such flowers we never saw before. The flowers are of the largest size, the petals very long and so constructed that the entire bloom seems a great downy ball of the most exquisitely delicate snow white lace. Probably no peony embodies great size with perfection of beauty to a greater extent than does this variety.
