Contractor Carl Weinberg maintained an extensive peony garden on his home at 514 South Seventh Street from 1920 to 1952. It covered an area bounded by Jefferson Court to the north and Lutz to the south, and from Seventh on the east to Eberwhite on the west. After he gave up gardening he moved some of these to the Peony Garden at the Nichols Arboretum.

Peonies were Carl Weinberg's favorite flower. He grew many species, including some exotic specimens like a Japanese tree peony and an Alice Harding peony from Nice, for which he is said to have paid $250. Weinberg himself developed some new peony strains, which he named for friends and relatives. A double white peony is named after his wife, Elenora; another is named after his nephew, Bobby Faust, and a third after Andrew Muehlig, his friend. A dark red poppy he named after himself.
