THE BONNEWITZ PEONY GARDENS

W. F. CHRISTMAN (Franklin)—8.8 ... 1.00 
A very light pink peony of good quality, attractive 
color and with good stems. It is useful both on the 
landscape and in the cutting garden. 
W. F. TURNER (Shaylor) ... 1.00 
This is Shaylor’s best red variety. It is taller than 
Philippe Rivoire and for that particular reason may 
have some value on the landscape. Its color is 
known as dark crimson and it shows yellow 
stamens. 
WHITE BEAUTY (Auten) ... 3.00 
This new white double peony is classified as an 
early one. We hope it is early enough to bloom 
before Memorial Day but it has not yet convinced 
us of that fact. It tries to conceal a few yellow 
stamens which, of course, do not need to be con- 
cealed and the introducer says that the quality of its 
petals are exquisite. It is sincerely welcome to a 
place in our garden and we hope that it can hold 
its head in company with Kelway’s Glorious and 
Jubilee. 
WHITE DELIGHT (Auten) . 7.00 
The peony world has long been looking for an 
early white double peony which will bloom as early 
as Umbellata Rosea. I am not yet sure that White 
Delight will open its blooms as early as that variety 
but the originator of this new peony, Mr. Auten, 
places it about the time as Edulis Superba. He tells 
us that it will need support in the garden and that 
its main value will be for cut flowers. I have only 
three plants of it for sale this year. 
WHITE EAGLE (Sass) . 2.50 
Early midseason. Large flower of purest white, 
full rose type. It always opens perfectly and 
blooms freely. There is a distinct need for a better 
early white and we hope this one will fill the de¬ 
mand. (From introducer^s description). 
WILTON LOCKWOOD (Shaylor)—8.8 . 1.00 
The very tallest peony 1 have ever grown in my 
garden, but it must have support or should be 
grown only in the cutting garden. You will notice 
it has an excellent rating and probably deserves it, 
but my advice is to grow it in the cutting garden 
only. i
