THE BONNEWITZ PEONY GARDENS 
MARGARET ATWOOD (Japan)—8.7 
This beautiful white Japanese peony is not so tall 
as Isani Gidui but it closely approaches it in quality. 
2 year plant .$1.00 
MIKADO (Imported by Peterson)—8.6 
This is the oldest Japanese peony in America. I saw 
it at the Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893, 
forty-seven years ago. It is red, but the color is 
not so distinctive as in King of England. It is the 
Japanese peony known to more Americans than any 
other variety.

MRS. WARD WELCH (Good & Reese) 
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 desirable variety. 
1 year plant.$1.50 
NIPPON BEAUTY (Auten) 
A deep rich red Japanese variety with some yellow 
on the edges of its central petaloids. It is a new 
variety in my garden and pleases me very much. 
Very few for sale. 
1 year plant.$2.00 
NIPPON BRILLIANT (Auten) 
There is more yellow in the red color of the petals 
on this Japanese peony than there is in the red petals 
of any other peony I have ever seen. I hope the 
originator, Mr. Auten, will be able to secure this same 
shade of red in a double peony with as good quality 
as Philippe Rivoire. I am very much delighted with 
this Japanese variety on account of its very peculiar, 
but attractive color. I am sure the demand for it 
will increase. Very few for sale.

NIPPON GOLD (Auten) 
This pink Japanese peony is a splendid landscape 
variety, but it is not quite so tall as Tamate-Boku. 
The blooms, when opened indoors, show splendid 
yellow central petaloids. I am very much attracted 
by this variety and I am sure its sales will increase.

NIPPON PARADE (Auten) 
A deep rich red color with a bright and cheerful 
effect. All four of these Nippon varieties are im¬ 
provements over former good selling varieties. Mr. 
Auten deserves the thanks of every member of the 
Peony Society and all lovers of fine peonies.

PETITE RENEE (Dessert)—7.6 
This variety is an old one and it has all the good 
qualities of Henri Potin except that the color is 
lilac-rose instead of the color of a wild rose. It grows 
tall, blooms abundantly and multiplies very rapidly.
