THE BONNEWITZ PEONY GARDENS 
15 
MADAME AUGUSTE DESSERT (Dessert)—8.6 . 
For many years this peony stood at the head of the 
list of French varieties and it is so very high in 
quality that it will probably remain in our gardens 
as long as the very, very high priced ones. It is a 
beautiful shade of old rose pink and its yellow sta¬ 
mens add to its beauty. 
MADAME CLAUDE TAIN (Doriat) . 
1 know that Americans will be glad to see that 
French peonies are still being imported and we 
hope that some of them attain the reputation 
gained by such varieties as Solange, Therese and 
Alice Harding. Madame Claude Tain is one of the 
newest white double ones and we Americans are 
now having a chance to see whether it deserved 
being brought across the ocean. 
MADAME EDOUARD DORIAT (Doriat)—8.6 . 
This white double peony came from the same gar¬ 
den as Madame Emile Debatene. We are not sure, 
however, that it is as good as Debatene. 
MADAME EMILE DEBATENE (Doriat) . 
This is one of the very, very good new pink double 
peonies from France. 
MADAME EMILE GALLE (Crousse)—8.5 . 
A very light rose pink variety, fragrant and of 
good substance. Strong stems. Excellent landscape 
value. 
MADAME GAUDICHAU (Millet)—8.2 . 
This variety carries red blooms of fair landscape 
value, but the plant itself is distinctive in its color 
and habit. Even without the bloom the plant has 
excellent landscape value in the red bronze color 
of its stems and leaves. No other variety compares 
with this one in landscape value before the flowers 
open. 
MADAME JULES DESSERT (Dessert)—9.4 . 
A late midseason variety bearing cream white 
blooms of excellent quality on fairly strong stems. 
The decorative value of the flower is probably 
more outstanding than its landscape value, but with 
some pruning of the laterals it will show up well 
in the garden. 
MADELON (Dessert)—8.7 . 
This silvery pink double peony is large, it blooms 
late in the season and the flowers have a globular 
center with incurved outer petals. It is not as 
striking in size or color as Therese which was orig¬ 
inated in the same garden. 
MADONNA (Neeley) . 
A loosely built cream white double flower which 
sheds the rain easily. It has some landscape value 
and garden visitors have been pleased with its 
beauty. 
MAM AN MILLET (Millet) . 
This early pink peony should be planted in the 
cutting garden for it has extremely long stems 
which do not hold the flowers satisfactorily. How¬ 
ever, it is such a good variety for cutting that it 
will be welcomed in many gardens.
