Paeonia foemina flore pleno albicante.
THe double blush, or white Peonie, is in the manner of growing like unto the last described, but taller, the green leaves something larger, more veined and ribbed than those of any the other sorts; the flowers are much bigger than those of the last, and more thick and double, which at the first opening are of a fine light blush colour, but by standing blown, in a few days will turn to be of a pale white, and so continue a long time before they decay, the leaves not falling off, but withering on the stalk, like those of the last, and this is accoun∣ted the best of all the double Peonies which have hitherto come to our knowledge; I have often heard of a double Peonie that hath snow white flowers from the first opening thereof, and so abiding con∣stant to the last, but have not seen any such, and therefore doubt the verity of the report.
