Per the 1928 Lee R. Bonnewitz Peony and Iris catalog in Van Wert, Ohio:
JAMES BOYD (Thurlow). A very early, light pink double Peon...Read Morey, which fades to white, and in the show room shows similar quality and color to JAMES KELWAY. It has landscape value during the entire season. Although it is an early variety, its laterals, without support, give excellent landscape effect even until, and during, the main blooming season of ENCHANTRESSE, LOVELINESS and GALATHEE. One of the best of the Thurlow introductions. $7.50
