The Bulbs to Plant in the Fall 



w 



ITH just a little time and care you can have a brilliant 

 array of lovely flowers next spring, by planting such 

 bulbs as Tulips, Hyacinths, Narcissus, Crocus, Snow 

 drops, Scillas, Lillies, etc. These bulbs must be planted 

 in the fall. 



Start now by planting some of these bulbs. In the spring 

 you will have a gorgeous display of blooms that will make 

 your home surroundings more beautiful each year. 



Anyone Can Grow Them. Success is sure, for within the 

 bulb is stored the flower and leaves, the easiest and simplest 

 culture only being required to develop them. Cultural direc 

 tions are sent with every order. 



Fall Is an Ideal Time to Plant 



In all sections of the United States, except the far north 

 and New England, such Hardy Perennials, Roses, Shrubs, Berry 

 Plants, etc., as are listed in this book may be set out in the 

 autumn. They get well established before winter and are ready 

 to start growth with the first sign of spring. 



Winter Protection 



Late in the fall after the first killing frost, hill up the soil 

 around each plant to a height of a foot or so. It is advisable 

 to bring in soil from another location for the hilling-up rather 

 than to scrape it off the tops of the roots. Where the winters 

 are severe or as an added protection, after the ground is well 

 frozen, a covering of leaves, straw, hay, fine corn stalks, small 

 evergreen boughs or any other porous material may be used to 

 fill in the valleys made by the hilling'Up process. The same 

 material may be used as a protection for hardy perennials, but, 

 of course, they should not be hilled up. Such a covering ap' 

 plied after the ground is frozen, will help to keep it frozen 

 throughout the winter. This is highly desirable, as frequent 

 freezings and thawings may do much harm. Without a cover- 

 ing, plants are sometimes heaved out of the ground and rendered 

 worthless. As soon as all danger of frost is past in the spring, 

 this covering should be gradually removed. Keep some of the 

 material handy to throw over the plants lightly, should a cold 

 snap occur. The soil used to hill-up the Roses, Shrubs, etc., 

 may be removed a little at a time. The branches that were 

 covered will be plump and green, full of life, and ready to 

 sprout out as soon as the first warm days appear. 



Take Pride in Your Garden or Lawn 



A garden is a source of beauty all may share and a fascinat' 

 ing pastime for every home owner or tenant. 



Have you planned your vegetable garden so you will enjoy 

 fresh, wholesome food for your table throughout the entire 

 season? Have you utilized all your space? 



Now is the time for planting your late summer and fall 

 garden. 



A well-kept lawn adds the final touch of beauty to the home. 

 To improve an old lawn by top-seeding or to make a new one, 

 fall is an ideal time. The grass becomes firmly established 

 before winter sets in and starts to grow again in early spring, 

 often before it is possible to work the ground. Use good 

 seed — use Maule's.
