Plymouth. Very late full double white, opens flesh. 
Bloom opened perfectly this year when most 
very late whites succumbed to continued heat. 
Stiff stems, heavy substance. Fragrant. An aris¬ 
tocrat that cannot be denied its place. 10.00 
Prudence. Fine midseason white double, fragrant 
and very chaste. 3.00 
Sanctuary. I withdrew this once because some years 
it blooms with heavy red splashes. However, those 
years when they do not appear the bloom is one 
of exquisite beauty, rich creamy white, with the 
heaviest substance of any white Peony I know, 
lasting through storms. Large. Tall, stiff stems. . 2.00 
Siloam. A sure blooming late white double of out¬ 
standing quality. Flat, a well formed bloom, rose 
fragrant, refined. 5.00 
Silver King. A very late full double white. Tall. 
Outstanding, but so late it needs cool climate and 
plenty of water to develop properly. Honorable 
Mention. 2.00 
Sistie. A late sure opening flesh white double, me¬ 
dium sized, high built bloom. Substance extra 
good, rose fragrant. 3.00 
White Beauty. Very large double, with a few hidden 
stamens. Exquisite petalage with a pearly cast. 
Strong grower and free bloomer. Midseason. A 
“must have” variety. 3.00 
White Delight. Outstanding not only in the wonder¬ 
ful quality of its bloom, but also in the fact that 
it is early, blooming at about the same time as 
Edulis Superba. Large, long keeping, rose fra¬ 
grant, with a fine stem for cutting, though it will 
need some support in the garden. Should even¬ 
tually develop into an outstanding cut flower 
variety. 7.00 
Yukon. Late pure white double, fragrant, spotless 
and charming. Tall stems good for cutting.... 2.00 
PINK JAPS. Auten Originations 
Chaminade. Pink guards, with all yellow center. Tall 
plant, good stem. The bloom is refined and lacks 
the coarse greasiness of some of the older Japs 
from Japan. 4.00 
Melody. Yellow center, pink quards. A strong 
grower, makes a large, upstanding plant, for 
landscape.$ .75 
Nippon Gold. Purest golden yellow center of narrow 
crinkled petaloids. Guards deep pink. Fades in 
the sun, but extra fine for cutting, and one of 
my favorites. Has rare charm. 2.00 
Shy Maid. Cut it in bud and let it open indoors. A 
delicate peach pink with pale yellow center. A 
new shade in Japs. Fades white outdoors. Fine 
plant and substance. 1.00 
See the list of 1939 Auten Introductions for other fine 
pink Japs. 
PINK SINGLES. Auten Originations 
Dancing Nymph. Pearly light pink, practically white. 
Fine substance, keeps its wine goblet shape and 
lasts a long time. Tall stiff stem. Crinkled petals, 
the best of this type that I know. Outstanding. . 3.00 
Elfin Pink. A soft, even toned true pink that holds 
its color. Charming. Probably the best medium 
pink single, far better than English Elegance. . 3.00 
Lucky Day. Long lasting deep pink single. May open 
with a violaceous cast, but it soon changes to a 
pleasing tone. Late.
