AUNT MARY’S SWEET CORN FARM 
NIPPON BEAUTY (Auten).. ... 5.00 
A deep rich red Japanese variety with some yellow 
on the edges of its central petaloids. It is a new 
variety in my garden and pleases me very much. 
NIPPON BRILLIANT (Auten). 12.00 
There is more yellow in the red color of the petals 
on this Japanese peony than there is in the petals 
of any other peony of any kind 1 have ever seen. 
1 hope the originator, Mr. Auten, will be able to 
se,cure this same shade of red in a double peony 
with as good quality as Philippe Rivoire. 1 am 
very much delighted with this Japanese variety 
on account of its very peculiar, but attractive color. 
NIPPON GOLD (Auten)... 2.00 
This pink Japanese peony is a splendid landscape 
variety, but is not quite so tall as Tamate-Boku. 
The blooms when opened indoors show splendid 
yellow central petaloids, but like all other yellow 
peony petals they fade white when allowed to re¬ 
main on the plant. 1 am very much delighted 
with this variety. 
NIPPON PARADE (Auten) .... 3.00 
A deep rich red Japanese variety with a bright and 
cheerful effect. Medium height. Midseason. 
ONAHAMA (Gumm).. 3.00 
A rich, dark red, Japanese variety which may be 
better than King of England. However, 1 am not 
withdrawing any part 'of my recommendation on 
King of England which is 5X with me. 
PETITE RENEE (Dessert)—7.6.75 
This variety is an old one and it has all the good 
qualities of Henri Potin except that the color is 
lilac-rose instead of the color of a wild rose. It 
grows tall, blooms abundantly and multiplies very 
rapidly. 
POLAR STAR (Sass). 5.00 
A magnificent new Jap from Hans Sass. The guard 
petals are very large, good substance, pure white 
with an immense center of purest golden yellow. 
When we have grown it for several years we may 
find it in the class with Isani Gidui. 
PRAIRIE AFIRE (Brand).. 2.50 
I attended the Des Moines National Peony Show a 
few years ago and at that time 1 thought this va¬ 
riety to be the most wonderful Japanese peony I 
had ever seen. I have now grown plants of it large 
enough for sale and I hope my customers will be 
able to see as much beauty in it as I saw a few 
years ago. 
SNOW WHEEL (Japan)—8.3.. 1.50 
This white peony with a beautiful name pleases 
me a very great deal although it does not grow so 
large as Isani Gidui and Toro-No-Maki. However, 
it has its place in the world even if it is a smaller 
flower and smaller plant. 
SOME-GANOKO (Japan)—9.0. 2.00 
This is another very outstanding red Japanese va¬ 
riety which has larger petals which droop more 
than on the many other varieties with which I am 
acquainted. Visitors always give a second look at 
the flowers on this plant when passing through 
the garden.
