The Advantages of Fall Planting 



While it is undoubtedly true that certain plants (not listed in this Catalog) do not 

 transplant well in the Fall, it is equedly well known to Nurserymen that the majority 

 of Hardy Plants may be transplanted with greater assurance of satisfactory results 

 in that season than in the Spring. A great many Shrubs and Perennials start to 

 make their annual Spring root growth before the frost will allow us to move them. 

 Then eifter this new growth has started, the shock of transplanting, before the tender 

 new rootlets have had a chance to become established, may result in a mediocre 

 bloom the first season. This is especially true of such early-flowering perennials as 

 Iris and Peonies, or such shrubs as Forsythia and Spiraea prunifoha, and so for all 

 practical purposes Fall is the safest and surest season for the transplanting of such 

 hardy stock as we list herein.
