Things To Plant in September 



FIRST, there are perennials — the 

 hardy old fashioned flowers that 

 are now so new fashioned. For 

 surest insurance of their blooming 

 next Spring, plant them this Septem- 

 ber. It's one of the secrets of hardy 

 gardening. 



Then, there are evergreens. If 

 planted in early September, before 

 they make their second growth, you 

 will have full advantage of that growth 

 next Spring, besides the beauty of the 

 trees all Winter. We strongly advise 

 September evergreen planting. 



Shade trees and shrubs can be plant- 

 ed all through October and right up 

 to freezing. We recommend as much 

 of such work as possible being done 

 in the Fall. 



Our stock on all these things, is 

 particularly adapted to Fall planting, 

 because it is grown in this rugged 

 New England climate of ours and 

 has the stamina, the backbone that 

 gives quick growing sturdy results. 



Send for catalog and place your 

 order so we can ship in ample time to 

 reach you when wanted.

"I bought of seven or eight prominent peony growers in 



America and Europe last fall and your roots were among the 



best I received." 



An enthusiastic amateur in Tarrytown who had 



about ioo peony plants of us last year selected from 



our fields over 70 more this year. 



Your address on a postal will bring our fine catalogue of 

 these and other specialties. September is the time to plant
