Act Now and Save a Year 
ae may lose a year in the development 
of your home grounds unless you 
decide before November 1st to accept the 
seven great opportunities for fall planting 
which are quickly passing. 
1. Save a year on trees 
True, it is possible to plant everything 
save bulbs next spring, but the chances are 
you wont do it, because vegetables and 
flowers must be sown then and those jobs 
are enough to keep anyone more than busy

Do all you possibly can in the fall. 
THE SEVEN GREAT OPPORTUNITIES 
The pictures show at a glance the seven 
fleeting opportunities you now have for 
constructive work. 
1. You may save a year on trees, by plant- 
ing them any time between the fall of the 
leaf and the hard freezing of the ground. 
It is too late for evergreens. 
2. You may save a year on shrubs, except 
roses and a few others. 
3. You may save a year on all permanent 
or woody climbers or creepers. 
3. Save a year on vines 
4. You may save a year on all hardy fruits. 
Don’t risk planting peaches or plums in the 
fall at the North. 
5. Your house may not be full of flowers 
this winter unless you buy your bulbs before 
November ist. After that they gradually 
deteriorate. You can have flowers every day 
from Christmas to Easter for about $2.00.

4. Save a year on fruits 
6. You will certainly lose a year on tulips, 
daffodils, hyacinths and crocuses for out- 
door use unless you plant them now. 
7. Lilies, in our opinion, ought always to 
be planted in fall. If you plant them in 
spring they may lie dormant or refuse to 
flower the first year. Many of the most 
important lilies do not reach here until 
November, but you can have unfrozen ground 
in which to plant them by heaping the

ground freezes. 
DON’T BE AFRAID 
Don’t worry about the exceptions. There 
is a ful] list of everything that cannot be 
safely planted in the fall in the October, 
1908, number of THE GARDEN MAGAZINE, 
but you do not even have to consult that. 
6. Bulbs for outdoor bloom must be planted now 
Simply remind your nurseryman not to send 
you anything that cannot safely be planted 
this fall. Even this precaution is unnec- 
essary, for no reliable nurseryman will send 
you anything that cannot safely be planted 
in the fall. 
The Southern planting season begins in 
November and reaches its climax in January. 
The Southerner can plant almost everything 
in the fall which the Northerner dare not.
