— OUR PRICE POLICY — 
The pressure of increasing production costs is still be- 
ing felt, but this year we are increasing only the price of a 
few of our newest and rarest kinds, to keep supply and 
demand in a ration which will enable us to maintain 
sufficient reserve stocks. 
We feel that our prices for new things are most 
reasonable, and we do not hesitate to lower these prices 
when a sufficient stock has been developed. The slow 
rate of propogation of the Peony is a factor which must 
always be taken into consideration when comparing prices 
of Peonies with those of other flowers like Irises, Dahlias, 
Roses and Gladiolus. 
Some of our finest kinds are now in fair supply, and 
we therefore urge you to judge quality by the descriptions 
and not by comparative prices. In other words, some of our 
$1.50 and $2.00 kinds are among the very finest, and a 
$20.00 variety is priced there both because it is fine and 
also because my stocks are still small.

FROM VIRGINIA—The roots you sent me this past year are showing up 
fine. 
FROM NEW YORK—I like your peony Tempest very much. 
FROM ALABAMA—T opeka was my best double for 1946. Veritas was 
wonderful. Nippon Brilliant and Nippon Parade were my best Japs this 
year. 
FROM PENNSYLVANIA—I received the peonies and they are very nice. 
FROM MINNESOTA—I saw your Nippon Brilliant at our peony show and 
it carried off the best ribbon and was greatly admired. 
FROM ILLINOIS—I have been a customer of yours for the past two 
seasons and have certainly enjoyed the plants I have received. 
FROM SOUTH CAROLINA—Moon of Nippon so completely surpasses 
Isani Gidui that I expect to discard Isani. 
FROM ALABAMA—WNome and Fairbanks are the best all purpose white 
Japs I have ever grown. Auten’s Pride—magnificent in every way! 
FROM MINNESOTA—We believe that Nippon Brilliant is the best red 
Jap on the market today.
