Princeville, Illinois 
& 
Auten Peanies Are Different 
Our ten acres of Peonies are growing in fertile “corn 
belt” soil, ideal for producing strong roots. We take extra- 
ordinary care to keep our plants healthy and true to name. 
Roots are dug to order and shipped to you fresh and full 
of vigor. We send liberal 3 to 5 eye divisions, properly cut. 
This is the best size to plant, better even than a large 
clump. See full planting and cultural directions on another 
page. 
FREE PEONY 
If your order includes two or more Peonies list- 
ing at $1.25 or more each, we will include free of 
charge, one Peony of our own selection. 
YOUR EARLY ORDER will be appreciated. We 
can give service at less labor cost on early orders, 
and early planting, though not imperative, is 
nevertheless highly advantageous. 
Minimum order, $2.00. No C.O.D. shipments. 
TERMS — Cash with order. Prices include delivery in 
U. S. east of Rockies on orders of $2.50 or more. Under 
$2.50 add 25c for postage and packing. Pacific coast orders 
under $10.00 sent express collect. Canadian orders, add 25c 
for postage, large orders sent charges collect. Send import 
permit, and remit in U. S. exchange. Any complaint as to 
condition of roots must be made immediately upon receipt 
of package. We make no warranty as to growth as we do 
not control conditions nor care in our customers gardens. 
This price list cancels all previous quotations, and is 
not in effect after Jan. 1, 1948. 
SHIPMENT — Fall only, beginning Sept. 1st, until
