chapter BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.

dessert, auguste, was a grandson of M. Etienne Méchin, and worked with his grandfather in improving and developing the peony in France. Their nurseries at Chenonceaux were well known and from them have emanated many well-known varieties which are described in this book. M. Dessert recently sold his business to Messrs. Doriat & Sons and the plantings have been transferred from Chenonceaux to Lapalisse.

Guérin, Méchin, Dessert

Modeste Guérin war zwischen 1830 und 1835 einer der ersten Importeure chinesischer Päonien. Die Bedeutung seiner Kulturen und die Lage in Charonne, in der Nähe von Paris, machten ihn zu einer unangefochtenen Berühmtheit. Die ersten Anerkennungen erhielt er von der Gartenbaukommission, die beauftragt war, seine Kulturen zu besichtigen. Ihr Bericht erschien 1849 in der „Revue horticole de France", und wird hier wiedergegeben: „Die Gartenbaugesellschaft hat die Herren Boucher, Bachon, Forest und Breon beauftragt, die Kulturen von Herrn Modeste Guérin zu besichtigen. Herr Breon hat im Namen dieser Kommission folgenden Bericht vorgelegt: Die Kommission würdigt die Verdienste von Herrn Modeste Guérin für acht Jahre Arbeit an zahlreichen Päonien-Sämlingen, Arbeit, die den Handel um eine beachtliche Zahl schöner Sorten bereichert hat und schlägt vor, ihm eine Medaille zu verleihen als Zeugnis für den Fortschritt, den er dem Pariser Gartenbau gebracht hat."

Weitere Anerkennungen folgten: 1852 ein Preis der Nationalen Französischen Gartenbaugesellschaft, S.N.H.F., 1853 der erste Preis der Gartenbaugesellschaft der Seine und der erste Preis für Staudenpäonien als Schnittblumen von der S.N.H.F. 1854 ein Preis für seine Beteiligung an der Ausstellung der Kaiserlichen Gartenbaugesellschaft. Ein Bericht in der „Revue horticole francaise" von 1855 macht es wieder deutlich: „Am 3. Mai im Beisein ihrer Majestät des Kaisers und der Kaiserin ... müssen die enormen Päonien von Herrn Modeste Guérin und die noch schöneren von Herrn Dufoy hervorgehoben werden."

In derselben Revue horticole konnte man noch lesen: „Auf den Gartenbauausstellungen in Frankreich und England kam die Schönheit der Päonien großartig durch die Kollektionen der Herren Guérin und Courant zur Geltung, beide sind Spezialisten, von denen der erste seit langem im Gartenbau einen Namen hat."

Guérin hatte eine bedeutende Sammlung und erweiterte sein Sortiment durch eigene Züchtungen um etwa 45 registrierte Sorten (s. Seite 189).

1866 vermachte er seine gesamten Kulturen einem anderen, ebenfalls auf Päonien spezialisierten Gärtner, Etienne Méchin (1815-1895). Etienne Méchin hatte 1848 einen Betrieb in Chenonceaux gegründet und widmete sich mit Leidenschaft der Päonienkultur. In der „Revue horticole de France", die zu jener Zeit sehr aufmerksam die neuen Pä'onienkulturen verfolgte, lesen wir folgende Zeilen: „Staudenpäonien stehen hoch in der Gunst und es gibt heute, wie bekannt ist, viele gute Sorten. Jeden Tag werden es mehr und wir stellen fest, daß die Sorten mit dunkelroten Blüten viel begehrter sind als die rosa blühenden, was sich damit erklärt, daß letztere wesentlich verbreiteter sind. Unlängst hatten wir Gelegenheit, bei Herrn Méchin diese Tatsache erneut festzustellen. (105:) Herr Méchin ist Gärtner in Chenonceaux und Züchter etlicher guter Sorten. Er hat uns schöne, neue, noch nicht an die Öffentlichkeit gegebene Pflanzen mit dunklen Blüten gezeigt. Das letzte Wort ist hierüber noch nicht gefallen, und es wird nicht mehr lange dauern, bis zahlreiche bezaubernde Sorten herauskommen werden." (1890, Seite 315).

1895 übernahm sein Enkel Auguste Dessert den Betrieb. Er ist wohl der Züchter, der die längste Zeit zwischen seinen Päonien verbracht hat. 50 Jahre lang säte und vermehrte Auguste Dessert, führte Neuheiten ein, arbeitete mit Strauch- ebenso wie mit Staudenpäonien, sammelte Preise und Anerkennungen. Seiner Arbeit sind mehr als 50 Sorten zu verdanken von denen einige zu den dunkelsten Sorten zählen. Sie sind damit eine Antwort auf den Artikel der „Revue horticole de France" von 1890 und zugleich eine Krönung der Arbeiten von Etienne Méchin.

1900 erschien die Sorte mit dem dunkelsten Rot, das man bis dahin kannte: 'Monsieur Martin Cahuzac' und mit ihr ein Ehrengeleit aus zwei wunderbaren, einfachblühenden Päonien, die heute noch beliebt sind: 'L'Etincelante' und 'La Fiancée'.

Die Aufnahme in die Ehrenlegion war die Bestätigung seiner Arbeit und anders als Félix Crousse kam ihm zugute, daß diese Auszeichnung nun auch Zivilisten verliehen wurde.

Ein Jahr vor seinem Tod verkaufte Dessert seine bedeutende Sammlung an die Firma Doriat und Söhne in Lapalisse, wohin die Pflanzen gebracht wurden.
