Peony (closed, reference only) Nursery
Listing last updated on Wed Aug 2024
[From Gartenflora, December 1858, p. 362-3:] Nurseryman Joseph Unterrainer in Innsbruck.........The peonies above are, according to Mr. Unterrainer's assurances, a selection of the best flowers from a collection of 40 tree-like and 60 herb-like paeonies. The Mr. F. Enke, in whose publishing company this magazine is published, himself a flower lover and owner of a beautiful garden, saw them blooming at Mr. Unterrainer's and asked for a picture of the most beautiful ones, after which we made the above description. The seeds from which they come were grown in Count Casati's garden in Lombardy, and came into Mr. Unterrainer's hands in 1850 after that garden was destroyed.
[Reference is to Count Gabrio, 3rd Count Casati (August 2, 1798 Milan - November 13, 1873 Milan), who had to flee Austria-Hungarian Milan in 1848 to Torino after the defeat of the Piemontese army]
