Japanese Varieties 

NIPPON BRILLIANT (Auten) 
Each year I grow more enthusiastic over the beauty 
of this Japanese peony. There is more yellow in the 
red color of its petals than there is in the red petals 
of any other peony I have ever seen. I hope the 
originator, Mr. Auten, will be able to secure this same 
shade of red in a double peony with as good quality 
as Philippe Rivoire. I am very much delighted with 
this Japanese variety on account of its very peculiar, 
but attractive color. I am sure the demand for it 
will increase. Very few for sale.

TAMATE-BOKU (Japan)—9.4 
This large and beautiful pink and yellow peony is 
undoubtedly the most famous Japanese peony in the 
world. It has brought me more money than any other 
variety in my gardens. My experience with it has 
been nearly 100 per cent satisfactory. I recommend 
it for its vigor and beauty.

YELLOW KING (Japan) 
While this splendid variety has pink guards, yet it 
has the best yellow central petals of any variety and 
the yellow takes prominence over the pink. The 
growing buds should be covered with thick paper 
bags until they begin to expand rapidly, at which 
time the buds should be taken indoors and the bags 
removed. A display of fifty or a hundred of these 
yellow blooms brings exclamations of surprise from 
all beholders. This is one variety which should be 
grown in quantity and all the flowers should be 
taken indoors for all their yellow beauty is lost in 
the open garden.
