WHITE DOUBLES. Auten Originations 
This list of 15 white doubles is notable for the charm of 
petalage, and offers a good range in season of bloom. No 
rose has more charm than several of these white Peonies. 
Belle Chinoise. Immaculate white double, loose pet¬ 
alage, rose fragrant. An exquisite bloom. Stiff 
stems of medium height. 2.50 
Betsey Ross. Full double white, late, on tall stems. 
Petals somewhat incurved. Rose fragrant, me¬ 
dium sized bloom of highest quality. 3.50 
Flower Girl. One of the finest introductions of the 
decade. A true dwarf, only 20 to 25 inches tall. 
Full double, white opening flesh, rose' fragrant. 
A perfect bloom on a perfect plant. All who see 
it exclaim over its perfection. Early midseason.. 15.00 
Mary Auten. White, opening palest lavender, rose 
fragrant. A strong grower and free bloomer. 
Has proven its ability to rank with the' very best. 
Was the most admired variety in our fields on 
our special Peony day, 1939. 15.00 
Nauvoo. A flesh white double, high built, fragrant. 
Blooms are of show quality. Late, on a good 
plant. 3.00 
Old Hundredth. Late midseason creamy white double 
on extra tall stems. Priced low because not 
always sure. But a perfect bloom is worth wait¬ 
ing for. Not as large as Grace Loomis or En- 
chanteresse, but better form, and much nearer a 
yellow all through the bloom. 1.00 
Old Siwash. Opens flesh, fades to pure white: double; 
good size held very stiffly erect; good height. 
Rose fragrant. A personal friendship with the 
late George Fitch, beloved humorist and gradu¬ 
ate of Knox College, inspired the name. 3.00 
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. 8.00 
Prudence. Fine midseason white double, fragrant 
and very chaste. 3.00 
Siloam. A sure blooming late' white double of out¬ 
standing quality. Flat, a well formed bloom, rose 
fragrant, refined . 4.00 
Sistie. A late sure opening flesh white double, me¬ 
dium sized, high built bloom. Substance extra 
good, rose' fragrant. 3.00 
Vandalia. Full double white, late midseason, rose 
fragrant. A very distinct variety, with some 
narrow white filamental petals among the wider 
center petals. Erect on tall stiff stems. 2.50 
Vincennes. Full double white, opening flushed pink 
and yellow, fading to pure white. Early, on tall 
stiff stems. Fragrant. Might be called a glori¬ 
fied Mine de Verneville, with no red splashes. 
Should make a grand commercial cut flower 
variety. Bomb type. 7.00 
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. 2.50 
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 .
