RED JAPS. Auten Originations 
Dr. Jekyll. Plays a dual role. A late, brilliant dark 
red Jap, with center flushed distinctly lighter. At 
the same time there may be tufts or well built 
semi-double blooms. Plant habit and garden 
effect is extra good. 3.00 
Goblin. Bright red, center petaloids tipped and 
streaked lighter. Midseason. A free bloomer, 
tall stiff stems.$ 2.50 
Meteor. Rich red, typical center, carpels green, tipped 
white. Medium height, stiff stems. 3.00 
Nippon Beauty. Rich deep red, with some yellow 
edges on center petaloids. Late. A strong 
grower and free bloomer, tall stiff stems. This 
is generally conceded to be the finest dark red 
Jap in commerce, and its rating of 9.38 is the 
highest given to any red peony of any type, even 
exceeding the fine red double, Philippe Rivoire. 
A bargain. 7.00 
Nippon Brilliant. A medium dark red Jap, almost a 
clear scarlet, very brilliant, with much contrast¬ 
ing yellow on the center petaloids. Late, on tall 
stiff stems. As this becomes better known, I 
expect it to become the most popular red Jap 
because of its extreme brilliancy. The present 
price is far too low, as stocks are still small... 15.00 
Nippon Chief. Very rich dark red, large bloom, very 
late', fine plant. An outstanding dark red at a 
lower price. 3.00 
Nippon Maid. A rich dark red Jap of distinctive 
form. Red carpels, medium to dwarf stems, late. 
Honorable Mention. 3.00 
Nippon Parade. Deep red Jap, bright and cheerful, 
with center flushed lighter, distinct. Medium 
height, midseason. 3.00 
Nippon Splendor. Dark red Jap, extra fine; yellow 
edges on center petaloids. Tall stiff stems. 
Midseason. 4.00 
Nippon Warrior. Another distinct red Jap, center 
petaloids tipped yellow. Very bright. Stiff 
stems. 5.00 
Pixie. Red Jap, early, tall, medium sized bloom, car¬ 
ies considerable purple. Lighter casts in center. 1.00 
Red Crown. Medium dark red Jap, one of the latest 
of all peonies. Substance extra, color holds in 
heat, medium sized bloom. 5.00 
Rubie Battey. A very distinct dark red Jap, with an 
exceptionally clear purplish cast. Very fine in 
every way. One expert said it was the first pur¬ 
plish peony he ever liked. Has exceptional sub¬ 
stance and lasting qualities. Late. 10.00 
Sentinel. Dark red, carries some clear purple. Late, 
tall, distinct and fine. 2.00 
Sword Dance. A very strong rival to Nippon Brilliant 
for top honors in the medium dark reds. The 
color of Nippon Brilliant is a little clearer. The 
general effect at a distance is almost identical, 
Sword Dance may have larger blooms and make 
a larger plant, but both completely outclass the 
older medium dark reds. Stock limited. 12.00
