THE BONNEWITZ PEONY GARDENS

stems, carriage and height are perfect for a land- ^ .. 
scape variety. Unlike Henri Potin the stems of the 
main blooms must be clipped from the plant as the 
laterals are opening. I do not know its name, but 
if properly cared for it is a perfect landscape 
variety. 
KAMENO-KERO-GAMA (Japan) . 1.00 
For some years I have thought this red variety was 
very much the same value as Kino-Kimo, but 
King of England pleases me better than either of 
them in its color and growing habit. 
KING OF ENGLAND (Kelway)—8.6 .. 1.50 
During the last few seasons this splendid red 
Japanese peony has pleased me in its color, habit 
of growth and length of blooming season better 
thani any other red Japanese variety. 
KINO-KIMO (Japan)—8.2. 1.00 
This is a tall red Japanese variety. The color in 
it carries well and at the price it is offered,,! believe 
that customers will get their full money’s worth. 
KNIGHT OF THE THISTLE (Kelway) . 1.50 
I bought this red variety from Kelways on my visit 
to their garden in 1922, but I have not seen as 
fine a plant of it in America as they showed me 
in their own garden. I hope it may do better in 
other gardens than it has done in mine. 
KUKENI-JISHI (Japan)—9.5 . 5.00 
The color of this peony is a very beautiful light 
pink, the quality of thei bloom is excellent but un¬ 
fortunately, it does not retain the color as well as 
Tamate-Boku and Ama-No-Sode. It apparently does 
not multiply rapidly, but please notice it has a 
very high rating. 
MARGARET ATWOOD (Japan)—8.7. . 1.50 
This beautiful white Japanese peony is not so tall 
as Isani Gidui but it closely approaches it < in 
quality. 
MIKADO (Imported by Peterson)—8.6..^..— 1.00 
This is the oldest Japanese peony in America. I saw 
it at the Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893, 
forty-six years ago. It is red, but the color is not 
so distinctive as in King of England. It is the Jap¬ 
anese peony known to more Americans than any 
other variety. 
MINAMOTA (Japan) . .. . 1.00 
This Japanese variety has some purple in its red 
color and in some gardens it has done very well. 
1 have not had enough contact with it to advise 
its purchase. 
MR. G. F. HEMERICK (Japan) . .. 4.00 
This rose pink variety has nott yet obtained a wide 
distribution in this country. On a four year old 
plant the blooms pleased me very much, but they 
did not have either Tamate-Boku size or quality. 
But it has taken Tamate-Boku over twenty years 
to obtain its present reputation. 
MRS. WARD WELCH (Good & Reese) .. 5.00 
This new variety gave me a very favorable surprise 
in its blooming season. Its large white flowers 
with yellow staminodes were very, very beautiful 
and I believe the plants carried more open flowers 
at one time than any other variety in the garden. 
I do not hesitate to recommend it as a most desir¬ 
able variety.
