Hints 



for 



September 



ipiiiiir 



FIRST there are perennials — 

 the hardy old fashioned flow- 

 ers that are now so new 

 fashioned. For surest insurance 

 of their blooming next Spring, 

 plant them this September. It's 

 one of the secrets of hardy gar- 

 dening. 



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 

 planted all through October and 

 right up to freezing. We recom- 

 mend as much of such work as 

 possible being done in the Fall. 



Our stock on all these things is 

 particularly adapted to Fall plant- 

 ing, because it is grown in this 

 rugged New England climate of 

 ours and has the stamina, the back- 

 bone 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.
