PEONIES 
P EONIES 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our list such plants as were superseded by similar and better kinds.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 
two groups. The first group might be termed a "Master List". 
GROUP ONE 
ONE HUNDRED of the Finest Peonies you can buy. 
Singles, Japanese types. Semi Doubles and Full Doubles. 
Early, Midseason and Late Blooming. 
All with strong stems—Good landscape as well as good cut 
flower varieties. 
All reasonably priced—none over $2.50. 
Three to five eye divisions—or if you wish and stock is available 
we will ship one year started plants, at the same price. 
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.
