AMERICAN HOMES AND GARDENS

The Fall planting in the flower garden covers two quite 

 distinct sorts of work. In the first place there are the plants 

 which may be started now from the seed, to be grown on 

 and transplanted either later this Fall or early next Spring 

 into their permanent position. There is in the second place 

 the setting out of roots or bulbs and the lifting, dividing 

 and resetting of those that have remained in one position 

 for a long time and have become too thickly crowded or 

 otherwise "run out." 



The hardy Perennials are becoming more popular every 

 year, and deservedly so. Certainly when one has taken 

 the thought and pains required to attain garden effects that 

 are satisfactory, it is a desirable thing to know that these 

 may be enjoyed for a number of years to come, rather than 

 ing Spring, with its resurrection giving warmth. You will to feel the uncertainty about duplicating them which must 

 find yourself watching with a much keener zest, with a gar- always exist where reliance is placed wholly or mostly upon 

 den appetite whetted to a degree which you never before the Annuals — desirable as these doubtlessly are for some 

 knew, for the first little shoots which push their way up purposes. Then, too, there is the fact that without doubt 

 through the barren soil in the months of March and April, one gets greater returns from the time and money employed 



Peonies should be massed for best effects
