THE AUTEN JAPS 
The Japanese type Peonies of Auten origination are a 
vast improvement on those kinds which originally came 
from Japan. They are more refined in color, more vigor- 
ous in growth, and with an entirely new range of colors 
and color combinations that mark a new era in the 
history of the Peony. For garden effect they make large, 
strong plants loaded with bloom, and are not beaten 
down by storms as badly as the large doubles. They are 
unsurpassed for unusual and charming arrangements in- 
doors. To see them is to want them. Sales of the Auten 
Japs have increased regularly every year.

From On10—At Guelph (national show) I had the opportunity to study 
your Tempest veriety in comparison with other reds. As it was shown 
there, I would say it is one of the finest dark reds in existence. 
FROM WASHINGTON—Enclosed you will find another order for this year. 
Most of the ones we received from you last year bloomed and the singles 
and Japs were the sensation of the garden. 
From IowA—Pink Solange especially is beautiful.
