Chinese Peony, Garden Peony 'Elwood Pleas'

Lee R. Bonnewitz Iris and Peony Catalog of 1928 in Van Wert, Ohio:
ELWOOD PLEAS (Pleas). A very light pink Peony with splendid, la...Read Morerge flowers, which bloom late in the season. The flowers are of splendid quality, but the main blooms are apt to be too heavy for the stems. However, after the main blooms have been cut, the laterals give a most excellent landscape effect, which lasts until the extreme end of the season. Its laterals are more prolific in bloom than any other late pink variety with which we are acquainted, except the "red stem" MILTON HILL, which is of lighter color. Valuable for show blooms and as a very late landscape variety. We do not hesitate to recommend it in every particular. $2.50
