Peonies, The Manual of the American Peony Society, edited by James Boyd © 1928 American Peony Society: [Descriptive List of Chinese Peonies]:

MME. JULES DESSERT, ma-dam-zhul-des-sair'. (Dessert, 1909.) 9.4.

Double type; very large; late midseason. Long, smooth petals of flesh-white, graduated symmetrically about a hollow, funnel-like center, with a few stamens in its depths, which reflect a yellow glow through its translucent texture; mildly fragrant. Tall; splendid habit; very floriferous; stems occasionally floppy. Good foliage.

A very popular and highly regarded sort. Occasionally the guard petals are greenish near the base and sometimes are distinctly marked with green. The center is usually a trifle pinker than the rest of the flower, and always bears a few inconspicuous crimson marks.

"Strong stems and perfect habit of growth."—Little.

"I should rank this among the best dozen."—Saunders.

"Thoroughly reliable and one of the very best. A beautiful flower and fine plant."—Boyd.
