24 ELLWANGER & BARRY'S CATALOGUE OF STRAWBERRIES, ETC. 



FALL PLANTING AND WHY. 



Primarily and principally because the spring planting season is generally of such short 

 duration that much intended work is necessarily omitted. In the fall there is abundance of time to 

 plan and to plant, and the work can therefore be done far more satisfactorily, besides nearly a 

 year is gained by planting at that season, because the trees or plants become thoroughly estab- 

 lished before winter sets in and are ready to start to grow vigorously with the opening of spring. 



The once prevalent notion that fall planting is not advantageous, has proved to be erroneous, 

 and with the exception of evergreens, almost everything, called hardy can be planted successfully 

 in the autumn. 



We recommend and urge fall planting wherever it is possible, and we are prepared this 

 autumn with an unusually full and varied line of stock, in both Fruit and Ornamental Depart- 

 ments, including Roses, Pceonies, Hardy Plants, &c. Our collections are the most extensive and 

 complete in the country. 



In some regions where the winters are extremely severe, or in exposed situations, spring 

 planting is necessary. 



Our general illustrated and descriptive Catalogue (160 pages), replete with practical and 

 reliable information, will be sent free to all applicants. Every owner of property should have 

 a copy.

The following Catalogues are sent, as soon as issued to all customers whose names are on our 

 books, and to all others icho may apply :

 Small Fruits, Clematis, Hardy Herbaceous Plants, Roses, Etc., (160 pages and beautifully illuminated 

 cover) containing brief hints on transplanting, distances for planting the various trees, and 

 other useful information. This edition has been prepared with great care ; the descriptions

 hand-book. A list of the best novelties to date is given separately.
