AUGLAIZE GARDENS - VAN WERT, OHIO 
Several years ago we imported 
some of the finest new varieties of 
peonies grown by Dorait & Sons of 
Lapalisse, France. Under federal im¬ 
portation rules these plants have been 
under quarantine until a reasonable 
amount of stock had been produced 
in our garden and until the plants had 
been given federal inspection to guar¬ 
antee they were free from disease. 
This inspection was made just re¬ 
cently and the restriction lifted last 
week. Now for the first time we can 
offer these new French varieties for 
sale. 
Our stock is limited. 
Following is a list of the available 
varieties. The descriptions are the 
grower’s, not ours: 
Margaret Elliot Waggaman (Dorait). Large 
double white with salmon tints. Tall 
stiff stems. Late. 
Charlotte Core (Dorait). Single white. 
An exceptionally splendid early variety. 
Ingenieur Dorait (Dorait). Large double 
flower, carmine red with crimson reflex 
and broad silvery border. Strong stems.

.son petals; stamenoids of same color
