Plant Trees This Fall 

 Start Them NOW For 

 Next Seasons Growth 



Fruit and ornamental trees, vines and shrubs can 

 be moved when dormant — hence, the best time to 

 plant them is in the fall. 



The soil is then in good condition to receive 

 them, and the roots, making a certain develop- 

 ment, are ready with the starting of the buds 

 in spring to put out 

 a vigorous growth. 

 Experience 

 proves that fall 

 planted trees suffer 

 from drouth far less 

 than spring planted 

 stock; fall planting is 

 also better because, by ord 

 now, you will get the bene 

 fit of larger and better se 

 lections than if you wait 



until Spring. So gre 



was the demand last 



year that many

VOIR CATAIOGUE IS A JOY; 

 I HAVE READ IT THROUGH" 



" You have put into it what most of the others so studiously leave out — 

 a looe for the flowers they offer. What impresses me most is the under-tone 

 of sincerity throughout. With such an atmosphere between its pages, your 

 prices appeal. You are bound to get the most desirable customers every- 

 ■where in the country. You are going to get me. I am a small- buyer and I 

 am not an expert fancier, but I have a great fondness which may develop." 



So vsrrites a Vi^ell known New^ York business man — a high grade com- 

 pliment expressing in language better than mine the appeal I could wish 

 my book, " FARR'S HARDY PLANTS," might make to all who receive 

 it, gaining new friends worth every effort to retain.

oped into the most complete collection of these plants in existence — for 1 

 couldn't be satisfied otherwise. That's why I cannot stop here and be a 

 "Specialist" with these alone, for I am fond of the brilliant phloxes, and 

 the tall blue delphiniums, and other things Vk^hich come later. Perhaps that 

 is vfhy my catalogue is " different " — because it tells of the flowers I like 

 and which it seems most every one else likes.

FARR'S WYOMISSING HYBRID DELPHINIUMS — raised from seed of my own 

 special selections, are more beautiful this year than ever — splendid spikes of very large 

 double and semi-double flowers, five to six feet high, from palest blue and lavender to 

 richest purple and indigo. Finest selected varieties, $2.50 per dozen, $1 8.00 per hundred.

SEPTEMBER and OCTOBER are the ideal planting months /or most perennials; later 

 there is risk, for the plants do not have time to become established be/ore freezing iveather.
