THE ADVANTAGES OF 

 FALL PLANTING 



Be forehanded; don't put off until Spring, 

 with its rush of garden activities, the tree 

 planting which can be done more thoroughly 

 and leisurely in Autumn. 



Fall planting of Trees and Shrubbery is no 

 experiment. Each succeeding Autumn sees 

 an increasing amount of it done, for it has 

 the advantage not only of convenience, but 

 of economy also, for there is a warmth to the 

 soil in the Fall that encourages root growth. 



New rootlets are made that establish a tree over Winter 

 and enable it to put forth leaves at the normal time in 

 Spring, w^hereas it is often June before the tree or shrub 

 set out in April gets under way. 



Different types or groups of Hardy Trees and Plants 

 usually require different Autumn months for their most 

 successful transplanting. 



EVERGREENS, for instance, may be put out at any 

 time, towards the close of August or in September, when 

 the ground is in a moist condition. 



PERENNIALS— "The Old-Fashioned Flowers"— should 

 be planted at the close of September and during October. 



DECIDUOUS, or leaf-dropping. Trees and Shrubs — after 

 the middle of October and until frozen ground prevents 

 digging and shipping.
