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 
Mischief (8.66). Late, the finest late single pink, 
keeps exceptionally well as a cut flower. Grace- 
fully carried on tall stems. Very vigorous and

WHITE SINGLES, Auten Originations 
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. 
Graduation Day. A charming white single, good in
