THE AUTEN ORIGINATIONS 
The high quality of the Auten Originations is generally 
recognized. They are the result of 29 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.
