1936 Introductions. Auten Originations 
Andy. A very rich dark red semi-double, early mid¬ 
season. Well built bloom, makes a nice plant. 
Honorable Mention, Des Moines, 1932. Price low 
because of ample stock.$ 2.00 
Dr. Jekyll. Plays a dual role. A late, brilliant dark 
red Jap, with center flushed distinctly lighter. At 
the same time there will often be well built semi- 
double blooms. Plant habit and garden effect is 
extra good. Late. 3.00 
Fortune Teller. Light red single, large bloom on nice 
plant. It is difficult to get a satisfactory single 
in this shade, but this one is good. 3.00 
Medicine Hat. Very dark red single, of highest qual¬ 
ity. Color holds. Plant habit fine, about medium 
height. 3.00 
Roberta. A fine white Jap with yellow center. Better 
than Hakodate and well worth while. 5.00 
Rose Marie. The joint work of Mr. Lyman D. Glass¬ 
cock and myself. An Officinalis x Chinensis 
Hybrid, a full double rich dark red, enduring 
color, fine substance. Resembles a rose, and will 
make the rose hybridists jealous, for I do not 
believe they can ever match this Peony with any 
rose as- to brilliance, substance and durability. 
First Class Certificate, 1933. Early. Stock is 
still very small. 50.00 
Rosedale. An Officinalis x Chinensis Hybrid. A five 
watter in size only. A true dwarf, about 19 inches 
tall, stiff stems. Bloom about four inches in di¬ 
ameter, semi-double', with stamens showing 
plainly in center. Very decided resemblance to a 
rose. Brilliant red. An absolutely distinct var¬ 
iety of great charm. Early. Only three clumps 
in existence. 15.00 
Viking. Full double dark red, very brilliant. Very 
late, and has exceptional substance. Not recom¬ 
mended for the southern half of the' Peony terri¬ 
tory. Stiff stems, makes a fine plant. I believe 
this Peony fills a distinct need. Priced low be¬ 
cause of ample stock. 3.00 
Moon of Nippon (Robert W. Auten, 1936). A master¬ 
piece in Peony breeding, the first introduction of 
my son. A large white Jap with yellow center, 
on tall stiff stems. I have seen practically all of 
the white Japs now in commerce. Some of them 
are very fine, but none of them surpass Moon 
of Nippon. Stock very limited. 25.00 
TESTIMONIALS 
We' receive unsolicited, many words of appreciation both 
of the quality of the roots we send out, and also of the new 
Auten originations. 
Here are only a few. 
From Massachusetts—“The roots were the finest and 
cleanest I have ever seen.” 
From Virginia—“Arcturus just grand!” 
From Indiana—“Mischief is fine, all you claim for it.” 
From Illinois—“The single Peony Mischief that I bought 
of you two years ago is blooming in glorious form and has 
been the center of attraction for two days and admired by 
hundreds of people.”
