THE BONNEWITZ PEONY GARDENS 
19 
NICK SHAYLOR (Shaylor & Allison) ... 10.00 
A very large blush pink peony with a suggestion 
of Solange color. The size and quality of this peony 
gives it the right of being exhibited in a contest 
with all the best peonies in the world. It has my 
highest recommendation. 
NINA SECOR (Secor)—9.0..._ . 1.50 
A splendid pure white variety for exhibition and 
for landscape purposes. 
NINON (Doriat) . 2.00 
This new French variety has a soft flesh coloring 
somewhat similar to Tourangelle. It has not yet 
won an American rating, but it probably deserves 
one. 
NYMPHAEA (Thurlow)—8.8 . 75 
A semi-double creamy white variety which shows 
stamens. It has the charm which its name (water . 
lily) suggests. 
OCTAVIE DEMAY (Calot)—8.5 . 75 
This very old, nearly dwarf, pink double peony 
has some crimson markings on its petals. Its stems 
are strong enough to carry its blooms. Its color 
remains with it better than some of the newer, 
higher-priced varieties. As it is a very good 
bloomer and holds the bloom in good position, it 
deserves a good recommendation as a landscape 
variety. 
OPAL (Pleas)—8.5„.. 1.00 
Next to Jubilee and Elwood Pleas, this is the 
greatest peony Mrs. Pleas originated. In our rich 
loam soil, this pale rose-pink variety blooms very 
abundantly and carries its blooms gracefully. It is 
not in a class with Therese for quality and yet, its 
delicate opalescent colors, make it a favorite with 
many people. 
OTHELLO (Lemoine) . . 1.00 
A very dark metallic red peony; a rather slow 
growing variety. It is a very unusual but not a 
particularly beautiful color. 
PALLAS (Terry)—8.2 .. 1.00 
A pink peony of low growing habit with splendid 
quality petals. The stems are strong and where a 
low growing variety can be used, it is very desir¬ 
able. I am glad to recommend it very highly. 
PASTEUR (Crousse)—8.4 .. 1.00 
A peony with a delightful shade of pink whose 
blooms have Jubilee form and beauty and whose 
stems have a little more strength. It blooms very 
prolifically. 
PHILIPPE RIVOIRE (Riviere)—9.2 . . 2.50 
A medium-sized, full double, red, late midseason 
peony which, for fifteen years, has maintained its 
place as the best red variety in the world. It has 
a pleasing odor, the color holds well and the stems 
are strong enough to hold the medium-sized 
blooms. It has my unqualified recommendation as 
a prize winner and as a landscape variety. 
PHOEBE CARY (Brand)—8.8 . . 1.50 
This pale old-rose-pink double peony is of good 
size with fairly strong stems and with beautiful 
light green foliage. It blooms late in the season 
with large flowers and its high rating makes it a 
desirable variety especially for the cutting garden.
