Auten Peonies Are Different 
Our nine acres of Peonies are growing in fertile “corn 
belt” soil. The fields are a blaze of glory at blooming time, 
and visitors are always welcome. We send liberal 3 to 5 
eye divisions, properly cut. This is the best size to plant, 
even better than a full sized clump. Roots are dug to order 
and shipped to you fresh and full of vigor. 
FREE PEONY 
If your order includes three Peonies listing 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.

packing. No C.0.D. shipments. 
TERMS—Cash with order. Prices include delivery in 
the U. S. east of the Rockies on orders of $3.00 or more.
