PLANTING HARDY PERENNIALS. 



Advantages of Fall Planting. 



The month (d' Xo\cmber is an exe(d- 

 Icnt tinu! to transplant many liardy 

 perennials. The <iround in \\hi(li these 

 arc to be ]d;intei| shoidd always be 

 liberally manurecl .and deejily jdowed 

 or sji.'ided in ad\ance. Theic .are some 

 ])erenni;ils whi( li should not be planted 

 in the fall. These im dude \;iiitdies of 

 more or less doubtful hardiness in the 

 colder states, such as jiom|ion (hrysan- 

 tliemums. kinphofias. Anemoiu^ .Fa]ion- 

 ica, iiu-arville.as, Ibdi.anthus multitlonis 

 jdenus, Pyrcdhrum liyljridum. Lobelia 

 eardin.alis .and ;i few (dhers, but jihloxes 

 of .all kinds, delphiniums, hemerocallis, 

 veronicas, jdiysostejiias, irises, ]>eonies, 

 aquile;,das and many other \arieties do 

 \;istly lietti'i- if fall pl.anted. Irises and 

 jieotdes, of couise, do Ixdter if ]il.anted 

 in Septemlier, but stock jdanted tiow 

 will be found mindi superior to that bdt 

 over until sprin<;. 



Ther(> is a continiK)US jjrowth in the 

 li.ardy jierenni.al industry. l'eo]de are 



a])preciatin^f them more everywhere, 

 and every wide-awake grower should 

 be prepared to cater to this taste. It 

 IS a yreat ;id\anta}je to do as much as 

 possible of tliis work now, rather than 

 d(d'er exerything until spidn^, Avheii 

 work of .all kinds almost overwhelms 

 us. b'ecoinmend fall ])lanting for this 

 kind <d' sto(d\; the soil is in better 

 condition than in the spriujLj and, if the 

 stoi k has to be bought, nurservnuMi can 

 till orders much more jiromptly now 

 than later.
