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. 



Tlif dates given lielow necessarily must 

 be approximate as they depend upon 

 climatic conditions. W'here winter sets in 

 early, plant as soon as possible. 



Late .-iugusl or September 



is the best time to start a new 



lawn or reseed the old one. 



See page 24. 



September 



Plant bulbs of Colcliicum just as soon as 

 possible. I'bc earlier tliey arc planted now 

 tlie better they will be. If you did not so\v' 

 your new lawn or repair the old one dur- 

 ing late August do so now or as soon .i^ 

 possible. 



This is the most important month for 

 planting bulbs in the garden lo bloom next 

 spring including Narcissus, Anemone.

 Crocus, Chionodoxa, Erythrqnium, Leu- 

 cojum, Lilium candidum, liremurus, Mus- 

 cari. Ranunculus, Scilla, Spring Startiower,
