Extract from Adress of President Ward at the National Peony Show, at Boston, 1906...

Under La Tendresse we get a common flesh pink semi-double peony which shows the seed pods prominently in the center. The true La Tendresse is creamy white, absolutely double and shows no center or seed pods, and is a much dwarfer grower than the false variety.
