WHITE JAPANESE, Auten Originations 
Undoubtedly the finest white Jap that ever came from 
Japan is the variety Isani-Gidui. It has white guard petals 
of wonderful form and substance, and a center of yellow 
petaloids. But the stem is not the best and the plant also 
lacks vigor. The Auten white Japs, most of them seedlings 
of Isani Gidui, are the same type of bloom, some are larger. 
most of them have deeper yellow centers than Isani Gidui, 
and all are on vigorous plants with good stems. You need 
look no further for top quality white Japs.

THE AUTEN SINGLE PEONIES 
Single Peonies, with their fine contrast between the 
petals and the mass of yellow stamens should be more 
and more appreciated. We have obtained kinds which re- 
tain their charm till the end, which do not flop their petals 
badly, and which are borne on strong plants with good 
stems. Discordant colored seed pods are not tolerated, they 
must be green or same color as the petals. Extreme size is 
not desirable. Choose from the following with confidence.
