PINK DOUBLES, Auten Originations (Cont.) 
Prairie State A very large pink, with darker tints 
toward the center. A sure opener on a tall 
rugged plant. Midseason. This should be grown 
by those who like quality in big blooms, but who 
live where hot weather makes some big ones un-

Virginia Lee A glorious pink double, large and with 
exceptional charm and beauty. It is when newly 
opened, more silver and salmon than pink. It has 
a lovely glow. Opening wide, the form is especi- 
ally beautiful. Virginia Lee is very, very late, 
but unlike many late Peonies, opens freely and 
completely. We consider this one of our greatest

THE AUTEN SINGLE PEONIES 
3.05 
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.
