JAPANESE TYPE PEONIES 
So called because the Japanese people prefer them to 
all other types of bloom, and were the first to develop 
many new kinds. This type is the first advance toward 
the double type, with narrow center petals, usually edged 
with yellow. They furnish color contrasts in the same 
flower obtained in no other type, and are especially valu- 
able for cutting. In the anemone type, the narrow center 
petals have no contrasting yellow marking, though some, 
like Nippon Gold, have all yellow centers. 
The AUTEN ORIGINATIONS, Japanese Type 
These are a vast improvement over those from Japan. 
They have better color, better stems, and are much more 
vigorous.
