Peonies, The Manual of the American Peony Society, edited by James Boyd © 1928 American Peony Society: [Descriptive List of Chinese Peonies]:

LA FEE. la-fay'. (Lemoine, 1906.) 9.2.

Double type; very large; early midseason. Light old-rose-pink, with a narrow collar of creamy pink of delicate transparent texture; strong rose-like fragrance. Tall; free-flowering; wiry stems. Excellent foliage.

A compact, globular flower at first, with incurved, overlapping petals like Le Cygne, developing a plumy crown later. It would be better if the stems were stronger.

"Rather slow in becoming established."—Thurlow.
