Notes on the Newer Peonies, Season 1932
Sass
It has not been my privilege to grow or see any of the very latest Sass peonies, some of which I hear are very fine, but the first two put out have been in my garden a number of years.
Florence Macbeth. This is very late and sometimes fails to open well its exquisitely beautiful blooms of pale pink shading deeper to the center and fading white. It is a plant of the best habit and the flower ranks among the best when it opens well.

Grace Batson. Probably opens better than the former [Florence Macbeth], but is not so delicate a color. Bloom is to me on the spectacular order and of a near approach to the color that is so prominent among these spectacular blooms, namely a good medium dark pink. Possibly it is a little lighter than Jules Elie. It is late and strong growing.

England—Kelway
James William Kelway. This is a very tall, erect, flower of very large size. It is a purple pink with many stamens showing. It should never be confused with 'James Kelway'. It is nothing like it. Many people like a peony of this style and color, and with them it will be a great favorite, but with many others it will only be one to be avoided.
(1930)  Page(s) 6.  
 
[In discussion of James Kelway's peonies]:
His James William Kelway is a very large purplish pink, loosely built, that is tall and showy.

Peonies for the Future
There is a new one called James William Kelway, which is very distinct from the fine white 'James Kelway' now so universally planted. The new one is a very loosely built rose-colored peony, which shows stamens, and it looks as if it would be a very fine one.
