PEONY PRICE LIST FOR 1936 
GROUP 1 
In this group which follows we have 
placed about sixty outstanding flowers, all 
of which are suitable for average garden 
conditions. By this, we mean that they 
have sufficiently strong stems to stand up 
under almost any circumstances, and that 
they will be satisfactory to you for grow¬ 
ing in your garden for garden use, as dis¬ 
tinguished from cut-flower or exhibition 
use. Here you will find a representative 
lot of all of the three colors of peonies and 
some in each season of bloom. 
We recommend this group to our friends 
and assure them that they may make a se¬ 
lection from it without fear of getting 
flowers which will not meet garden re¬ 
quirements. You can rely on each and 
every one of these plants to be good in 
your particular garden. 
The group is further divided into three 
lots, the first lot selling at $1.00 per divi¬ 
sion, the second at $1.50, the third at $2.On, 
and the fourth at $2.5u. In this way we 
feel selections can be made quickly and 
easily and the purchaser may make his 
selection from the price class he desires 
with the least effort, but with assurance 
that he is getting the type of flower that 
he wants.

GROUP 2 
In this section we have grouped most of 
the new and scarce peonies 
with a few older ones, all of th'' 
rated varieties. This group 
varies In 
IN our 1936 price list we are continuing the practice we started several years ago 
* of dividing peonies into different groups instead of listing them alphabetically. 
This listing met with the approval of most of our customers. The flowers are 
listed in this way in the belief that it will help many to get just the kinds of 
flowers they want for their gardens. Some varieties are best suited for garden 
display, others are choice exhibition flowers and some are good for general use. 
There is one division of new and rare varieties. A complete explanation precedes 
each group. 
We have not given lengthy descriptions of the varieties as most of them, with 
the exception of the newest, can be found in the Manual of the American Peony 
Society, a book which should be in the library of every peony lover. Our Gate 
House Store can supply it at the publisher’s price of $3.15 postpaid, or we shall be 
glad at any time to give detailed descriptions of any of these peonies if you write 
requesting the information. 
The prices quoted in this list are for strong, healthy five-eye Auglaize Gardens 
divisions with generous, well-balanced root systems, cut from three-year-old 
plants. We can also supply one-year-old plants at the same price if you prefer this 
size. Prices on large plants for immediate effect will be quoted upon request. 
The arrangement in this list is as follows: First, the rating as given by the 
American Peony Society. Second, the name of the variety. Next comes the color, 
then the season of bloom, early, mid-season or late. 
price, and includes many which are very 
scarce and consequently still high in 
price. Some of these varities are so new 
that they have not been rated by the 
American Peony Society. While there are 
many fine flowers in this group there are 
also some which have not been grown in 
this country a sufficient length of time to 
determine their real merits. Of course, 
m;m> of these flowers will in time 1>.- in¬ 
cluded in our Group 1 if stock becomes 
more plentiful, and their price becomes 
lower.

GROUP 3 
In this group are included many very 
beautiful flowers, but which because of 
certain characteristics are not suitable 
for general landscape use. We refer par¬ 
ticularly to such flowers as Tourangelle 
and Solange which are very beautiful 
when used as cut flowers, but whose stems 
are not strong enough to hold up the heavy 
blooms in the garden, or whose colors are 
so delicate that they do not withstand 
strong sun.

GROUP 4 
In this group we have included a num¬ 
ber <>f the older flowers. All of these are 
nice flowers, but they have been on the 
market for many years and the stock is 
large and consequently the price of the 
plants in this group is lower than those 
in either one of the others. The flowers 
in this group are not of as fine quality and 
very few of them are as highly rated as 
these in Groups 1 and 2, so we do not ad¬ 
vise that you depend upon this group ex¬ 
clusively if you want a fine attractive 
garden effect. A few of them should be 
used to fill in if you find you need some 
extra varieties, or because of their low 
price they can be purchased in consider¬ 
able quantity to use as cut flowers if you 
need something of this character.
