Fall Planting. 
Whoever intends to transplant trees or other plants naturally 
wishes to do so at the most suitable time, when possible— that is 
at a time when the plant or plants in question will receive the 
least shock by the moving. There are many sorts of plants 
which can be transplanted at any time, others that seem to be so 
constituted that special care at special times is required to get 
the best results. . . 
As nurserymen we get much practical experience m this 
matter of transplanting, especially of hardy trees and other hardy 
plants and we are convinced that the following classes of plants 
can be set out to special advantage at the times noted. 
SeptenalDer. 
Evergreen-trees, azaleas, rhododendrons, most hardy her- 
baceous plants, such as paeonies, iris, phlox, larkspur, etc., tree 
paeonies, currants, strawberry plants. 
October. 
All of the above, also all deciduous fruit and ornamental 
trees, shrubs, vines, roses, etc., whose foliage has matured, also 
Holland bulbs and other hardy lilies. 
All the above noted and all deciduous trees with the possible 
exception of tulip and birch trees which seem to do better planted 
in the Spring. 
DeceinlDer. 
Very often we have this month comparatively free from 
freezing weather in which case about all deciduous fruit and 
ornamental trees, shrubs, vines, roses, etc., etc., can be planted 
to advantage. 
There are a number of exceptions to the general rule and we 
are always glad to give advice to those who ask for it. 
We publish annually a very complete catalogue of our trees 
and other plants. This catalogue is compiled with great care, 
the latest botanical classifications being used as well as the 
popular names. We believe all who are interested in hardy 
plants will find this catalogue useful and interesting. Copies 
sent free to all who apply. 
Qxiality. 
Buying trees and other plants is much like buying other 
merchandise in this respect — we very justly seek to obtain the 
best for the money invested. In no other line of merchandise, 
however, is the question of superior quality of more vital import- 
ance than with nursery stock, or so difficult for the buyer to 
determine. Quality not only depends upon stock being well 
grown, vigorous and healthy, but to an important degree upon the 
care with which it is dug, handled when out of the ground and the 
manner with which it is packed and delivered. This shows plainl| 
that the quality of stock the purchaser receives depends to a large 
degree upon the integrity of the nurseryman and his business facil- 
ities. Appreciating this important fact, it has been our constant 
endeavor to so position ourselves that we could handle our rapidly 
increasing business with facilities which make it certain that we can 
guarantee our customers the all important consideration, quality,
