Madame Jules Dessert (Dessert).  9.4.  This is one of the finest of all peonies.  The flowers are very large, well-formed, with long, broad petals.  The blooms are held rigidly erect on good straight stems of medium height.  The color is a creamy white, but lighted with buff and salmon shades.  A few golden stamens also show to add beauty to an already beautiful flower.  We have always found this variety hard to divide.  Anyone who receives a root with two large eyes and plenty of root system, should be pleased.  Mme. Jules Dessert is always among the main prize winners at the great shows.
