THE BONNEWITZ PEONY GARDENS

PROFESSOR C. POTRAT (Doriat) .. 7.50 
This is one of the recent French importations. It 
is tall of a cherry pink color and blooms late in the 
season. It has not yet won an American rating, 
but we hope it will prove a valuable addition to 
the list of American grown peonies. 
QUEEN OF HAMBURG (Sass) . 10.00 
New. Late midseason. An immense flower yet so 
perfectly formed that it is not coarse or ungainly. 
The color is a bright gleaming pink. The stems 
are tall and strong. A free dependable bloomer 
with heavy, healthy, dark green foliage. (From in¬ 
troducer's description ). 
QUEEN OF SHEBA (Sass) . 5.00 
New. Late midseason. When Mr. Hans P. Sass, 
this past spring, was selecting one of his peony 
seedlings to bear his name, his final choice was 
between this peony and the one he named. That’ 
shows you how good this one is. It is a full bomb 
type, sparkling bright rose, almost cerise. Medium 
tall on strong upright stems. Always blooms freely 
and perfectly every year. It was named Queen of 
Sheba because it sparkles like a queen wearing her 
jewels. (From introducer’s description). 
RACHEL (Lemoine)—8.3 . 1.00 
A late midseason rose-pink peony with good stems. 
RAOUL DESSERT (Dessert)—9.0 ... 1.50 
This peony has a most delightful color, just a little 
different from any other. I perceive a tan tone in 
its pink. At one of the peony shows, it stood high 
in the class competing for the best flower in the 
show, but unfortunately, you cannot depend upon 
it every year. When it is good, it is very, very 
good. 
RED SATIN (Sass) ... 5.00 
New. Late midseason. One of Mr. Hans P. Sass’s 
peonies which was named this spring. It has a most 
unusual color, very rare in peonies. In fact we 
have never seen another like it. It is a true cerise 
and very beautiful. Flower is full rose type, blooms 
freely. Good stems. (Introducer’s description). 
REINE HORTENSE (Calot)—8.7 . 90 
Next to Festiva Maxima, this is, I believe, the oldest 
excellent peony in our lists. Its petals are rose pink 
with silver tips and occasional crimson markings. 
It deserves a high rating as a landscape variety. 
The most beautiful border of peonies I ever saw 
was a planting of Reine Hortense. 
REV. H. TRAGITT (Brand) . 3.50 
This semi-dwarf, late, white peony has excellent 
stems. In fact, I believe if any white variety orig¬ 
inated by Mr. Brand makes a one hundred per cent 
rating on the landscape that this will be the one. 
I am propagating it for landscape purposes. 
RICHARD CARVEL (Brand)—8.8 . 1.00, 3 for 2.00 
I have grown this variety many years 6 for 3.50 
and cannot praise it too highly. It is the 12 for 6.00 
earliest good double red peony to bloom in 
my garden. It has a long blooming season. It car¬ 
ries its flowers better than any other early red 
peony. Karl Rosenfield has stiffer stems, but Rich¬ 
ard Carvel multiplies more rapidly and seems to me 
to possess more beauty both in the show room and
