TESTIMONIALS — Auten Japs 
FROM WISCONSIN. I wish to make a sizeable planting of your lovely 
Peony Gay Paree. 
FROM OHIO. Bo-Peep caused quite some excitement. 
FROM ILLINOIS. Yesterday at a flower show I saw some beautiful blooms 
of your Fairbanks. Would like to have one. 
FROM NEw YorK. Gay Paree was much admired by my friends. 
FROM NorRTH DAKOTA (a grower). Creve Coeur is nice and novel too. 
From NEw YorK. Your Peony Monterey here in Western New York 
érew to be a large bush and most effective. 
FROM OHIO. Nippon Brilliant is a very, very beautiful Jap. I con- 
gratulate you. 
FRoM IowA. Roberta was perfect in plant and flower. It was more 
satisfactory than either lsani Gidui or Toro-no-maki, I think it tops. 
FROM MINNESOTA. I saw your Mount Palomar last June, and I believe 
it has the earmarks of an outstanding variety. 
FROM NEw YorK. Gay Paree is the handsomest of all Japs I grow or 
have ever seen. 
FROM SOUTH CAROLINA. Moon of Nippon so completely surpases Isani 
Gidui that I expect to discard Isani. 
FROM ALABAMA. Nome and Fairbanks are the best all purpcse white 
Japs I have ever grown. 
FROM MAINE. In my Peony garden (over 100 different) among the most 
beautiful were Nippon Gold, Tempest, Monterey (lovely). 
FROM ILLINOIS. I have always thought nothing could equal Moon of 
Nippon but Fairbanks just came cut yesterday and it is perfect. 
FROM ILLINOIS. Sky Pilot is a knockout. Bloom came up to within a 
few inches of my shoulders and were magnificent in color, shape 
and enormous size, with daintiness over all. A true aristocrat. 
FROM ALABAMA. In red Japs a new variety takes its place as the head 
of the parade. It is Mount Palomar. It is very prolific, early and has 
a wonderful color. If any grower is limited to one red Jap select 
this one and forget the rest. 
TESTIMONIALS — Auten Hybrids 
FROM ILLINOIS. Veritas and Maytime, both are good. 
FROM WASHINGTON. We are enjoying your Hybrids and cther name 
varieties very much. Topeka was again a top number. 
FROM NEW YORK. I enjoyed your Rose-Marie very much. It had three 
gocd blossoms. This is its first year. 
FROM NEBRASKA. Your Hybrid Peonies bloomed beautifully this spring 
and I want more. 
FROM MINNESOTA. Rose-Marie—this one is a deep velvety red with 
absolutely no blue in it. When compared to some of the older reds 
it certainly is a standout. 
FROM ILLINOIS. It (Veritas) is certainly a remarkable flower. 
FROM NEW YoRK. I want to congratulate you on Chocolate Soldier. It 
is cutstanding.
