WHITE JAPS. Auten Originations. 
Undoubtedly the finest white Jap that ever came 
from Japan is the variety Isani-Gidui. It has white guard 
petals of wonderful form and substance, and a center 
of yellow petaloids. But the stem is not the best and 
the plant also lacks vigor. The Auten white Japs, most 
of them seedlings of Isani Gidui, are the same type of 
bloom, some are larger, most of them have deeper yellow 
centers than Isani Gidui, and all are on vigorous plants 
with good stems. You need look no further for top 
quality white Japs.

Sea nS OE Wren RUkeE 
FROM ALABAMA—Nome, Isant Gidui and Cordova were my best white 
Japs this year, and the best of these was Cordova. 
FROM PENNSYLVANIA—The Peonies previously received from you were 
more than satisfactory. 
FROM MISSOURI—I now have sixteen of your named varieties and six 
seedlings and all that I have had long enough to bloom have been 
wonderful flowers. 
FROM DELAWARE—Received Peony roots today. They were fine roots 
in good condition. 
FROM ILLINOIS—Sun-up was grand.
