WHITE DOUBLES, Auten Originations 
This list of 22 white doubles is just as outstanding as 
the Auten reds. They are especially notable for purity and 
charm. Many are delightfully rose fragrant. They cover 
the whole season of bloom.

for you, just call this “Pretty Chinese.” An im- 
maculate full double white, sure to open, near 
to bomb type. Medium size and height. Mid- 
season. Some claim this Peony has orange 
blossom fragrance, though I cannot guarantee 
that myself. An exquisite peony.............. $ 1.25
