WHITE SINGLES. Auten Originations 
These all have green seed pods. Pink or pink tipped seed 
pods in a white Single are to me a serious defect. Also, 
all have good stems and substance. This is an outstanding 
list which sets a new high standard, and from which you 
may select for any special want. 
Angelus. Large trim bloom of exceptional beauty, 
opening creamy flesh. 5.00 
Country Dance. Early, nice trim bloom, lasts well... 2.00

WHITE JAPS. Auten Originations 
Moon of Nippon. (Robert W. Auten, 1036). Com¬ 
bining the high quality bloom of Isani Gidui and 
the fine stiff stem of Marie Lemoine, its parents, 
this white Jap ranks with the very best. Yellow 
center. 20.00 
Roberta. Pure white with yellow center. A more 
dainty maid than some whites from Japan. 4.00 
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 . 10.00 
EARLY FLOWERING SPECIES 
Every garden should contain some of these early 
bloomers. They cover a period of about 16 days before the 
common varieties start. 
Anomola (Smouthii). The earliest in this list. A pur¬ 
plish red single. The ‘cut-leaved’ Peony. Makes 
a plant the size of the' regular kinds with leaves 
gracefully cut. By taking off the seed pods after 
blooming, one has a foliage effect for the rest of 
the season as fine as a large fern.$ 1.00 
Officinalis Red Jap. Typical Japanese bloom, color 
and type of plant same as Officinalis Rubra, but 
it blooms about 4 days before the latter.75 
Officinalis Rosea Plena. Pink double, blooms with 
Officinalis Rubra.75 
Officinalis Single Red. Blooms about 3 days before 
Officinalis Red Jap. The same plant habits and 
color as Officinalis Rubra.75 
Officinalis Rubra. The best known of the Officinalis 
species. The “Grandmother’s early old fashioned 
double red” which brings back old memories to 
so many of us. It blooms about 5 days before the 
earliest regular (Chinensis) variety.50

From Illinois —“Rosalie has been wonderful, a great bouquet this year, 
and receives favorable comment from every one who sees it. As one 
visitor said ‘I never realized Peonies could be so beautiful, and so 
different’.”
