AS a friend of ours bluntly put it, '^Spring enthusiasm frequently wears off, while 

 the wisdom of fall planting is generally based on a clear understanding of nature's 

 A. A. own working methods." So great and varied are the advantages of fall planting 

 that books have been written covering the subject. We can here point out only the 

 principal ones. 



We are inclined to believe that the element of time is the most important factor in 

 the garden. Fall planting saves time at both ends. It saves time in the spring when 

 the garden work is always crowding the gardener and it gains time by bringing earUer 

 results from the plants, shrubs and trees which are planted in the fall. 



Second only in importance to the element of time, is the fact that, in the fall you 

 get what you want, when you want it. In spite of our serious efforts to serve every- 

 body well, late in the spring stocks frequently become depleted. Then, too, we 

 receive a great many more orders in the spring than we can take care of comfortably, 

 whereas in the fall, you will find our deUvery service just about 100 per cent, perfect. 



To repeat, plants, shrubs and trees of the kinds offered in the following pages will 

 get a very much earlier start in the spring than those which you may receive in the 

 spring. Moreover, they have been stored in "Mother Earth," the best of all storage 

 houses. These briefly are the principal reasons why we urge fall planting and why 

 we can promise you greater results from fall activity than from spring fervor.
