PINK SINGLES, Auten Originations 
My search for really good pink singles lasted many 
years. The following six kinds have been selected from 
thousands of new seedlings. You may plant them in your 
garden and be assured nothing finer is available. 
Angelus (9.17). Very large soft, even light pink 
single on fine plant. Generally considered the 
best light pink single. Took ribbon as best pink 
single, 1941 National Peony show............. 4.00 
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.. 2.00 
Elfin Pink. A soft, even toned true pink that holds 
its color. Charming. Probably the best medium 
pink single, far better than English Elegance.. 2.00 
Lucky Day. Deep pink single, opening rather viola- 
ceous, but soon changing to a pleasing cast, 
valuable for landscape, because it lasts longer

keeps exceptionally well as a cut flower. Grace- 
fully carried on tall stems. Very vigorous and

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. 
Country Dance. Early, opening pale flesh. Nice trim 
bloom on good plant. Lasts well............... $ 1.50 
Graduation Day. A charming white single, good in

of petals, nicely cupped. Valuable for its late-.

FROM NEBRASKA—“I want to tell you how lovely the Peonies from you 
bloomed this spring. They were all charming, but I thought Nippon 
Beauty was the loveliest red Jap I have ever seen. It bloomed so 
profusely, too.’’ 
From Iowa—‘Arcturus, Kickapoo and Kaskaskia very fine. Kickapoo 
very hard to beat. In durability of color they easily lead all other 
singles I have. White Perfection the best white single.” 
FROM ILLINOIS—‘“‘Am glad to add that the roots I have from you the 
past two years have been the best that I have ever received. They 
never fail to bloom the next spring, while roots from other first class 
Srowers take from two to four years to bloom. I have Manoah, 
Spoon River and Nippon Parade of your own originations which I 
prize very highly.”
