FINK JAPS—AUTEN ORIGINATIONS 
Alstead. Deep pink Jap with extra good all yellow 
center, on fine plant. Much admired in the field 
Offered last year under name Peter Pan. 2.00 
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 . 2.00 
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 
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.... 7.00 
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. 1.75 
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 
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. 20.00 
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.60 
Mischief. Late, the finest late pink single, and one 
of the finest of all singles. Universally recognized 
for its high quality. Gracefully carried on tall 
stems. A strong grower and free bloomer. 1.00 
Moon Mist. Pale pink with darker dots. Early, 
medium size. This is a most exquisite variety, 
and is the only dotted pink single I ever saw that 
I thought was worth keeping. Outclasses 
Kelway’s Wild Rose. 3.00 
-- 
From Iowa —‘‘Thank you for the nice lot of roots you sent so promptly. 
Is was a joy to be handling them.” 
From Kentucky to a Dealer in Ohio —‘‘I am particularly interested 
in your reference to Mr. Auten’s Peonies and am pleased at your 
statement that you are ‘becoming quite enthused about them’. This 
has been my attitude toward Mr. Auten’s productions for several 
years past, and if everybody could know his stuff as I do, he would 
have a hard time keeping any of it for himself.” 
From Ohio —‘‘Kickapoo bloomed for me this year and it rivals Kewanee.” 
(Kewanee is early, Kickapoo Late.) 
Mary Auten and Naomi were among the outstanding doubles at the 
1939 National Peony show at Boston.
