(23 Jun 1894) Page(s) 677. Pæonies at Long Ditton. The nurseries of Messrs. Barr & Sons would at this season gladden the hearts of all lovers of hardy border flowers—more especially lovers of the beautiful Chinese Pæonies. [...] The double Chinese Pæonies are somewhat later than the single forms...with the exception of a few, of which mention may be made as early flowering sorts, such as Adelaide de Lache, carmine rose, very large; John Fraser, beautiful rose; Madame Furtado, rose pink; Belle Douaisienne, delicate blush, which passes off white; Comte de Paris, outer petals rose carmine, centre blush.

(22 Jun 1901) Page(s) 686. Pæonies From Langport. A boxful of named varieties has reached us from Messrs. Kelway and Son, Langport, Somerset. [...] None of the double varieties was entirely white, though there were several pale and choice varieties. [...] Another strikingly distinct flower is that named Agnes Mary Kelway, moderate in size and consisting of three rows of broad silvery-pink petals forming a guard to a great zone of closely packed and short yellow petals, surrounding a central knot of purple ones.
(15 Jun 1895) Page(s) 668. Messrs. Barr & Son's Paeonies. Single Flowered Sorts. The undermentioned plants, which are all varieties of P. albiflora, are especially worthy a place in any fairly representative collection. Very charming are the magnificent pure white flowers of The Bride, whilst a variety known as The Moor is appropriately enough one of the darkest-flowered single sorts in ciltivation, the blooms being of a rich glowing crimson-maroon, of very fine form and almost perfect outline.
(18 Jun 1898) Page(s) 662. Plants Recently Certificated. Pæony Alton Lock.—This is a rather small-flowered tree Pæony, but the rich deep crimson of its semi-double flowers makes up for the lack of size. Messrs. Kelway & Son.

(23 Jun 1894) Page(s) 677. Pæonies at Long Ditton. The nurseries of Messrs. Barr & Sons would at this season gladden the hearts of all lovers of hardy border flowers—more especially lovers of the beautiful Chinese Pæonies [...] Mention may be made of half-a-dozen of the most distinct and free flowering kinds—Queen of May, a lovely rose; Beatrice, a delicate rose pink; Princess of Wales, a blush pink; Victoria, a beautiful bright crimson; Venus, a bright rose tipped white; and Dawn of Day, a snow white with large and handsome shaped flowers.
(24 May 1890) Page(s) 604. Some New Garden Plants. Pæonia Moutan, Beatrice Kelway. The flowers of this variety are single with a few pure white elegantly crimped petals. The pistil is purple, forming a curious conical undivided mass in the centre, instead of being divided into a number of follicles or carpels as is usually the case in the Pæony. In this character it more resembles a Poppy than a member of the Ranunculus family. The filaments are white, with yellow anthers. Cut flowers were shown at the Drill Hall, on the 13th inst. by Messrs. Kelway & Son, who received an Award of Merit for it.
(15 Jun 1895) Page(s) 668. Messrs. Barr & Son's Paeonies. Single Flowered Sorts. Others which well deserve honourable mention, but upon the merits of which space forbids us to descant, are Duchess of Portland, soft pink, frilled white; Gertrude, brilliant rose pink, of exceptionally fine form; Beauty, bright rose, shading to pink; Rosy Dawn, large snow-white flowers, tinged blush upon first opening; and Kaiser, brilliant rose.
