Dreer*s Autumn 

 Gardening Guide 



Order Early 



This year, more than ever beFore, 

 it is very important that you place 

 your order just as early as possible 

 because the supply of many items is 

 decidedly limited. 



The dates given below necessarily must 

 be approximate as they depend upon 

 climatic conditions. Where winter sets in 

 early plant as soon as possible. 



Late August or September 

 is the best time to start a new 

 lawn or reseed the old one. 



September 



Plant bulbs of Colchicum just as soon as 

 possible. The earlier they are planted now 

 the better they will be. If you did not sow 

 your new lawn or repair the old one during 

 late August do so now or as soon as possible. 



This is the most important month for 

 planting bulbs in the garden to bloom next 

 spring including Narcissus, Anemone, 

 Brodiaea, Calochortus, Camassia, Spring 

 Crocus, Chionodoxa, Erythronium, Leu- 

 cojum, Lilium candidum, Eremurus, Mus- 

 cari. Ranunculus, Scilla, Snowdrops, Spring 

 Starfiower (Triteleia), and Iris reticulata. 

 Late in the month plant Dutch and 

 Spanish Iris. Start Lilies indoors, also 

 Calla, Baby Gladiolus, Freesia, Ixia, 

 Lachenalia, Leucocoryne, Ornithogalum, 

 Sparaxis. 



Where winter sets in early sow the seed 

 of hardy perennials marked in this cata- 

 log ■•■. Where winter is a long way off other 

 quick growing perennials can still be started 

 from seed. 



October 



All the bulbs recommended for September 

 planting can still be started this month as 

 long as the ground is not frozen. But 

 even in colder sections October planting is 

 possible where the soil in the beds has been 

 covered with leaves, straw, corn stalks, or 

 any other loose matter that will keep the 

 frost out until the bulbs are available. 



October is the most important 

 month for planting Tulip bulbs. 



Just before the soil in the seed bed or 

 cold frame freezes sow seed of the perennials 

 marked with a * in this catalog. 



By the middle of the month begin your 

 first planting of Paper White Narcissus, 

 Soleil d'Or Narcissus, and Chinese Sacred 

 Lily indoors. Make sure you have sufficient 

 bulbs of these to make succession plantings 

 two weeks apart until mid-March. Also 

 start Gloriosa, the beautiful Climbing Lily, 

 indoors now. 



This is the month to 

 plant hardy Lily bulbs. 



November 



Continue planting Lilies throughout this 

 month. There is still a chance to plant the 

 many types of bulbs recommended for 

 September and October planting as long as 

 the ground is free from frost. Continue 

 planting tender bulbs indoors for flowers 

 during late winter and early spring. 



December 



Throughout December start bulbs of 

 Paper White Narcissus, Soleil d'Or Nar- 

 cissus, Chinese Sacred Lily, Amaryllis, and 

 all tender bulbs for blooming indoors in the 

 house. 



25 bulbs or more are priced at the 100 rate, except where noted otherwise
