THE BONNEWITZ PEONY GARDENS 
17 
MIGNON (Lemoine)—8.7 .. 1.00 
This is one of the slowest growing Lemoine varie¬ 
ties blooming in midseason. Its color is pink shad¬ 
ing into white. The blooms are large and are held 
by stiff stems giving it garden value. 
MINERVA (Sass) ... 2.50 
Late. Originated by Mr. Hans P. Sass, this is one 
of the very finest white peonies, perfectly built, 
large, on strong stems. In the first prize winning 
class of best twenty named peonies at 1937 Na¬ 
tional Peony Show. Full rose type. (Introducer’s 
description ). 
MINNIE SHAYLOR (Shaylor)—8.9 . 1.50 
A splendid pink variety with usually only three, 
four or five rows of petals. The sun soon changes 
its color to white, but it is still very beautiful. I 
regard it as one of the highest quality peonies in 
the world, especially when planted in clay soil. 
MISS HENNINGER (Terry) . 1.50 
This is one of the freak peonies which, when 
planted in partial shade, sometimes produces better 
pink flowers than any other variety in the garden. 
I cannot give it a one hundred per cent recom¬ 
mendation, but I have rejoiced in having it in my 
own garden. 
MISS SALWAY (Kelway)—7.8 . 1.00 
TTiis large double peony sometimes produces as 
beautiful a shade of pink as Tourangelle and when 
it does it is in a class with A. P. Saunders and 
Florence Macbeth. This year the blooms were 
white. 
MODELLA (Betscher)—8.8 ... 3.00 
This medium tall, light pink, double peony is not 
often seen in the peony shows, but its praises are 
sung by those who grow it and love its beauty. 
M. JULES ELIE (Crousse)—9.2 ... 1.00 
A silvery, lilac-pink, bomb,shaped peony which 
blooms early in the season. One of the largest and 
best peonies in the world. Even though the stems 
cannot carry the blooms erect it is still wanted by 
every peony enthusiast. 
M. MARTIN CHAUZAC (Dessert)—8.8 . 1.50 
This is an early midseason variety with a darker 
red color than any other variety. Sometimes called 
the black peony. 
MONT BLANC (Lemoine)—8.4 . 75 
This variety has absolutely no landscape value, but 
it has the distinction of carrying more open blooms 
at one time than any other peony in my garden. 
The flowers are white and of superior quality but 
every plant must have support. 
MR. L. VAN LEEUWEN (Nieuwenhuyzen) . 1.50 
A red variety of good quality. 
MRS. A. M. BRAND (Brand)—9.6 . 3.00 
A very large, pure white variety with long stems. 
It is in the prize winning class, but it usually needs 
support. 
MRS. C. S. MINOT (Minot)—9.2 . 2.00 
A beautiful shell pink and white variety. The sub¬ 
stance of the petals and the shape of the flowers 
make it very attractive.
