New Japs, 1939. Auten Originations 
Day Dream. (Robert W. Auten) A pink and yellow 
Jap of exquisite beauty and charm, a great ad¬ 
vance over the old pinks like Amanasode. Medi¬ 
um sized bloom carried gracefully on stiff slen¬ 
der stems above the foliage. Similar to Fair 
Elaine, but a little deeper pink, and smaller 
bloom. Both are irresistible.$10.00 
Fair Elaine. (Robert W. Auten) Soft light pink 
guards, all yellow center. Medium size, large 
and lighter in color than Day Dream, but with 
the same charm, and the same graceful plant 
carriage. Of entirely different breeding, there 
is no choice between the two as to quality and 
charm. 10.00 
Heart of Knox. A small novelty red Jap on a tall 
strong growing plant. Brilliant, odd shade of 
red, fine for table decoration. 
Moon Magic. Anemone type Jap, petals a soft warm 
pink, dotted; with all yellow center. A fine com¬ 
panion for the dotted pink single, Moon Mist. . . . 
Mount Palomar. A very dark red Jap, lustrous; with 
heavy substance, contrasting sharply with the 
usual rich yellow markings of the typical Jap. 
Tall, very stiff stems. Very early for a Jap which 
adds to its desirability. Limited stock. 
Peter Pan. Deep pink Jap with extra good all yellow 
center, on fine plant. Much admired in the field. . 
Sky Pilot. Deep pink Jap with all yellow center 
slightly flushed pink. Extra tall on stiff stems, 
of sensational size and quality. One of those 
“It just can’t be so” kinds. Limited stock.. 
White Crane. White and yellow Jap, medium sized 
bloom, carried gracefully on tall slender stiff 
stems. A fitting companion to Day Dream and 
Fair Elaine .

New Single, 1939. Auten Origination 
Town Crier. A very large single, shading from light 
red to nearly white, on a very fine plant. Bloom 
lasts a long time. A larger and better Madcap, 
which variety is proving more popular every 
year, because of its snappy carrying power.$ 3.00 
Officinalis Hybrids, 1939. 
Auten Introductions 
Chocolate Soldier. Black red Jappy bomb type, with 
some yellow dots on center petals. Color is un¬ 
usually rich, and free from purple suggestion. 
The finest “black red” I have ever seen. Honor¬ 
able mention.$20.00 
John Harvard. Dark red single, two or three rows of 
petals with yellow stamens. Early bloomer. Tall 
stiff stems. Color clear and does not fade. In 
using this name and “Veritas”, as an alumnus 
of Harvard University, I have had it in mind 
to select kinds outstanding for color. While per¬ 
haps not an exact matching of the Harvard 
crimson, they are close enough to it to give a 
thrill to any Harvard man. Honorable mention.. 20.00 
Veritas. Unusual type of bloom, narrow pointed cen¬ 
ter petals with yellow stamens fastened to the 
edges of some, and some stamens forming a 
collar. A very brilliant dark red, glistening and 
enduring. Honorable mention. Early. 20.00
