Herbaceous Peonies. [by Thomas Rivers. Nurseries, Sawbridgeworth.]
It is just probable that some of your readers may not know that, in common with all our flowers, very many new varieties of Peonies have been raised from seed, prolonging the blooming season till June; these I propose to describe, not forgetting our old spring friends, too often neglected to be planted- all they require; for in all soils and in all seasons they will, with a constancy rare among garden-flowers, gladden our eyes in April with their rich and gaudy blossoms.
[...] The single Peonies, with purple flowers of different shades, succeed the above [varieties of P. tenuifolia].  Some years since a large collection of varieties or species was sent out by the Horticultural Society; Mr. Sabine, at that time an officer of the Society, took much interest in their culture: some of these are interesting, but merely as early bloomers, for they are too much alike in their flowers to be worth keeping distinct.  They all bear seed freely; and many varieties, with slight distinctions in colour, may be originated with but little trouble among these single purple Peonies.  The following are perhaps equal to any; they bloom immediately after P. tenuifolia: Andersoni, Baxteri, compacta, decora, foliosa, pubescens, splendens, Russi.  There are many others in catalogues; but a bed of seedlings will supply varieties without end, quite equal in quality; the difficulty will be to find names.

(1) On ne devine pas pourquoi cette espèce figure encore sous le nom de fœmina dans l'Ecole de botanique du Jardin des Plnates de Paris, puisque depuis plusieurs années on a supprime celui mas , tout aussi absurde , par lequel on désignait l'espèce appelée aujourd'hui corallina.
