Not Autumn-— By Thomas McAdam

WHAT YOU WANT AND ORDER AT ONCE 
IV. CONIFERS OR NARROW-LEAVED EVERGREENS 
Many experienced planters prefer May for planting evergreens, while others 
find August is an equally good time. But most people never think of it until after 
the middle of September, when it is too late to do so in the North, without special 
care and expense. A symposium of experience will be found in THE GARDEN 
Macazine for August and September, 1907. A few examples are: 
CEDARS HeMLocxks RETINISPORAS 
CYPRESSES JUNIPERS SPRUCES 
Firs PINES YeEws 
VY. FRUITS 
Stone fruits should never be planted in the fall at the North. Blackberries 
often winter-kill if fall planted, because they make big wide-spreading roots and 
few fine ones that you can save. 
APRICOTS NECTARINES PLums 
BLACKBERRIES PEACHES RASPBERRIES 
VI. PERENNIALS 
It is not safe to set out small, young, new plants of perennials in the fall, unless 
they have four weeks to become established before the killing frost is due. Those 
marked * should never be planted in fall. Avoid setting young plants of kinds 
marked } after September 20th in the North. The following are said to give better 
results from 4-inch pots in spring than from large field-grown plants in fall: 
Coreopsis, Dianthus, Gaillardia, Phlox, Stokesia.

VII. BULBS 
The most important hardy summer-blooming bulbs are peonies and lilies 
which are best planted in the fall, but the spring sales of these are enormous, show- 
ing that most people forget about them in the autumn. If you plant them in the 
spring, be sure to patronize a reliable dealer, get large roots and pay a good price. 
Otherwise they will not bloom the first year and shriveled lily bulbs may never 
bloom at all. 
The following are the most important tender bulbs for spring planting. They 
must be taken up in the fall, after frost, and stored for the winter.
