AUNT MARY’S SWEET CORN FARM 
NIPPON GOLD (Auten)... 7.50 
An excellent landscape variety. The brilliant yellow stam- 
inodes have changed into very narrow petals. Does not 
carry pollen. 
NIPPON BEAUTY (Auten). 7.50 
Dark red Japanese variety. 
ONAHAMA (Gumm). 3.00 
Rich red color. 
PETITE RENEE (Dessert)—7.6. 1.00 
A carmine pink, landscape variety. This variety sometimes 
carries both semi-double and Japanese blooms on same plant. 
PINGWING . 1.00 
A small pink variety with attractive yellow center. 
PRAIRIE AFIRE. 5.00 
As shown at the Des Moines Peony Show a few years ago, 
this was an outstanding variety. The color is hard to de¬ 
scribe but the guard petals are creamy rose and the .stamin- 
odes are red. 
RUIGEGNO . 1.50 
A rich dark red variety. 
SAGOROMA (Millet)—7.7. 2.00 
Salmon pink. 
SNOW WHEEU—8.3. 2.00 
Pure white. Approaches Isani Gidui in quality. 
SOSHI (Millet)—9.0. 2.00 
A splendid red Japanese variety with beautiful foliage. 
SOME-GANOKO—9.0. 2.00 
Dark red. 
TOKIO (Dessert)—8.9. 1.50 
Beautiful pink ; large size; does not hold quality as well as 
Tamate-Boku. 
TAMATE-BOKU ( ?)—9.4. 7.50 
The best pink Japanese variety in the world. I have grown 
it 22 years. It has my highest recommendation for every 
purpose. 
TORO-NO-MAKI (?)—9.0. 3.00 
Next to Isani Gidui, I consider this the best white Japanese 
variety. Quality of the petals is splendid. 
TORPILLEUR—9.0. 1.50 
One of the oldest red Japanese varieties. 
YESO (?)—7.7. 1.00 
White. 
YOKOHAMA (?). 7.50 
Blush white. 
YELLOW KING (?)... 5.00 
When the buds of this variety are perfectly protected until 
the cut flowers are brought indoors, they produce the most 
delicate pink and yellow Japanese Blooms I have ever seen. 
The petals are shell pink and the petaloids yellow but not as 
deep in color as Isani Gidui or Tamate-Boku. 
While spending the winter of 1936 and 37 with my 
daughter in California, I made a particular study of the 
selling value of the Japanese peonies Tarriate-Boku, Isani 
Gidui and Ama-No-Sode. The result both pleased and 
surprised me. I will be glad to send, free, a printed copy 
of the result of that study to anyone interested in Japan¬ 
ese peonies.
