THE AUTEN ORIGINATIONS 
When you plant an Auten Origination you are to enjoy 
some of the results of 35 years of careful work in the 
development of 240 named kinds chosen from many many 
thousands of new seedlings. It takes from nine to fifteen 
years to make a new variety ready for sale, and for each 
one so chosen, several hundred mature plants have been 
grown and discarded. We offer you unfading reds in all 
types; singles and Japs unsurpassed, rose fragrant doubles, 
sure blooming late doubles for the warmer parts of the 
Peony belt, plants with strong stems and plant vigor, and 
some glorious new early blooming hybrids. 
RED DOUBLES, Auten Originations 
These include clear, unfading dark reds, and fine new 
shades of red, all on good strong plants. For a start, 
choose from Louis Joliet, Tempest and Santa Fe for 
dark red.
