Per the 1928 Lee R. Bonnewitz Iris and Peony catalog of Van Wert, Ohio:
LAURA DESSERT (Dessert). Probably the very best yellow Peo...Read Moreny in the world. It is a double variety whose bloom is very much like the bloom on PRIMEVERE. In fact, it is hard to distinguish the flowers one from the other when both are indoors, but the stems on LAURA DESSERT are very much better than on PRIMEVERE, and so it has far more landscape value. The buds must be covered with a bag until the flowers are cut and taken indoors. $7.50
