PEONIES 
DEONIES have, every since Auglaize Gardens was established, been our 
main specialty. We have never tried to grow every variety on the market, 
but have always selected and propagated those varieties which we felt would 
prove most satisfactory to our customers. We have endeavored to keep this 
list short enough not to prove confusing, but with the thousands of varieties in¬ 
troduced into commerce it is difficult to keep it as short as might seem desirable 
and still include therein most of the worth while ones. It has always been our 
policy to add promising new varieties as they were introduced and to cull from 
our list such plants as were superseded by similar and better kinds. 
Our peonies are grown with exacting care. Our soil is fertile and ideally adapt¬ 
ed for producing strong healthy roots. Our fields are completely equipped 
with an irrigating system so that we are independent of weather conditions. 
We believe these facilities have helped us to gain an enviable reputation as 
producers of fine peonies and we endeavor to zealously guard this reputation. 
To assist our customers in making selections we have divided our listings into 
three groups. The first group might be termed a "Master List”. 
GROUP ONE 
Fine peonies for all around usefulness. In this group we have collected 90 of 
the finest Auglaize Garden peonies which sell at popular prices. All of these 
flowers are double or semi-double except the group marked Japs and Singles, 
they include all types and early, midseason and late blooming varieties. Every 
one of these flowers is distinct and different from any of the others. They are 
all varieties which perform satisfactorily under almost all conditions. All of 
them have good stems and therefore are suitable for garden or landscape use. 
They can, of course, also be used for cut flowers. 
We recommend this group with entire confidence and feel certain that selec¬ 
tions made from this list will meet your highest expectations. The varieties 
which we have marked with a ★ are those which especially appeal to us and 
which we would consider outstanding in a group of this type. 
The listing is as follows: First, the name; Second, the official rating of the Ameri¬ 
can Peony Society; Third, the originator, and then the color and general de¬ 
scription of the flower and plant. The season of bloom is indicated by—(E) for 
early, (M) for midseason, and (L) for late.
