Some Planting Hints for 

 August and September 



EVERGREENS during May and 

 June make root and top growth, 

 which hardens up in July. In 

 October and November they make 

 a second root growth. Between these 

 periods of growth and hardening, or 

 the months of August and Sept- 

 ember, evergreens can be trans- 

 planted with perfect safety, especially 

 when shipped with a generous ball 

 of earth, as ours are. Such plant- 

 ings become thoroughly established 



this Fall and make more vigorous 

 growth next Spring. The same is 

 true of Hardy Perennial Plants. In 

 fact it's the best way of surely mak- 

 ing sure of their blooming next 

 Spring. 



Bear in mind that all our stock is 

 grown in this rigid New England 

 climate, which gives to it a sturdi- 

 ness that makes them hardy any- 

 where in the States. Send for cata- 

 log. Let your Fall planting under way.
