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 
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.
