THE AUTEN ORIGINATIONS 
The 230 Auten named varieties are the result of 34 years 
of careful breeding and selection from many thousands of 
new seedlings, blooming at about five years of age. 2,600 
of the most promising were given advanced trial for from 
three to nine years more. Those finally named include many 
of the world’s finest kinds. Among them are unfading reds 
in all types, singles and Japs unsurpassed, rose fragrant 
doubles, sure blooming late doubles for the warmer parts 
of the Peony belt, and glorious new Hybrids. Visitors to 
our fields at once recognize the truth of our slogan “Auten 
Peonies Are Different.”
