JAPANESE PEONIES, Standard List 
A very charming type of bloom differing from the singles 
in having narrow center petals, often yellow, instead of 
pollen bearing stamens. So called because first improved 
by the Japs. No need to boycott these flowers, as they 
have nothing to do with war, and besides are very beauti- 
ful. They are simply one type of the common Peony, 
which is native to China.

EARLY FLOWERING SPECIES

regular kinds with leaves gracefully cut. By 
taking off the seed pods after blooming, one has 
a foliage effect like a large fern............... $ 1.00

earliest regular (Chinensis) variety........... 60 
THE AUTEN ORIGINATIONS 
The high quality of the Auten Originations is generally 
recognized. They are the result of 28 years of work, com- 
bined with a deep interest in and a wide experience with 
hundreds of different varieties. To obtain the 190 varieties 
introduced many thousands of new seedlings have been 
raised. Reds of all types have been brought to new stand- 
ards of brilliance and purity. Outstanding kinds of Jap- 
anese type are vastly superior in plant, vigor and color. 
Singles now are worthy to rank with the finest doubles. 
A very considerable contribution to the magnificent new 
hybrids has been made. 
Whatever your needs or preferences may be as to type 
or color, you will find something in the Auten Originations 
that is outstanding, and in several of the classifications 
these new Peonies stand supreme.
