AUTEN 1934 INTRODUCTIONS 
Lucky Day. A fine long lasting deep pink single.. .$ 2.50 
Eloise. An exquisite large cream pink double, fra¬ 
grant, late. 10.00 
Captain Kidd. A tall, very rich, nearly full dark 
red semi-double. Outstanding. 7.00 
The Baron. A novelty red Jap, some yellow in 
center, bold and striking. Medium height. 2.50 
Fire Chief. Another novelty red Jap, taller than 
The Baron. Take either one of these two and 
you will have a loud one. Take them both, and 
they will fight unless you keep them apart. 2.50 
AUTEN STANDARD REDS 
The red in all common Peonies is derived from the 
purple side, and we shall probably never completely elim¬ 
inate the purple. But itl can be clarified, much reduced, 
and kinds obtained which do not get ugly as the bloom 
ages, and which fade little if any. This fading is most 
apt to occur in temperatures above 90 degrees, and in 
the southern two-thirds of the Peony belt is often most 
distressing with the now common reds. Auten standard 
reds are a most distinct advance in this respect, and while 
I do not claim to have reached absolute perfection, I 
do feel that in the red Japs, singles and semi-doubles, 
fading will be a negligible factor except under most ad¬ 
verse weather conditions. 
AUTEN STANDARD RED JAPS 
These have been grown alongside the older Japs, includ¬ 
ing Mikado, Edw. VII, King of England, Some Ganoko, 
Claire, Fuyajo, as well as the newer Institeuter Doriat, 
Currant Jap, Jeffries Crimson Jap and Diana. I would still 
keep Fuyajo because of its distinctiveness, but do not 
hesitate to recommend the following list of my own as 
being far superior to the other lists. Nearly all are darker 
than Mikado, and plant habit and vigor are extra good.

lighter. Tall.$ 5.00

Stiff stems. 5.00
