Prairie State. Very large pink semi-double, looks 
like a full double. Darker tints toward the 
center. A sure opener, on a tall rugged plant. 
Midseason. A sensational variety that should 
be most welcome to those who like big blooms 
but live where hot weather makes some big ones

THE AUTEN WHITE DOUBLES 
While there are probably as many fine white double 
Peonies in commerce as any color, I nevertheless have 
no hesitation in offering these 18 kinds. They are all dis- 
tinct in some respect, on good plants, most of them are 
rose fragrant, and all have definite charm of petalage.
