OFFICINALIS HYBRIDS, Auten Originations 
This new race of hybrid Peonies starts blooming about 
ten days before the regular Peony season. They are of 
surpassing beauty, giving us reds more brilliant than we 
have ever had, and new shades in coral, cherry, salmon, 
and orange; reds free from any purple cast. They were 
obtained by crossing the common species, Albiflora, on the 
Officinalis species, which is much earlier. The result is a 
longer Peony season, a vast improvement in reds, and 
beautiful variations in form of bloom. Until one has seen 
them, he can have no comprehension of their beauty. They 
make an outstanding addition to any garden. We suggest 
that for first order you select from Chocolate Soldier, John 
Harvard, Rose Marie and Veritas.
