OFFICINALS HYBRIDS Auten Originations 
This new race of early bloomers is of surpassing beauty, 
giving entirely new shades, and reds more brilliant than 
any regular red variety. They start blooming about ten 
days before the common peonies, and the latest of them 
bloom with the first of the common kinds. They should be 
in every garden. They are in great demand, and stocks 
are still small. Several kinds have been withdrawn in 
order to build up adequate reserves. 
N. B. Strong divisions of all hybrids will be sent, but 
because of their peculiar shape, some may have only 
one or two eyes.
