TO THOSE WHO APPRECIATE HUNTINGTON’S QUALITY— 
Do you know that many of the leading garden authorities are recommending 
Fall planting of certain alpine and hardy herbaceous plants? 
Do you know the varieties that are recommended and the advantages to 
you in planting them in the early Autumn? 
As a dependable guide for the correct varieties we suggest the follow¬ 
ing list of plants which has been selected after thorough experimenting 
and with the advice of competent landscape architects. 
Many times in the Spring plants are retarded in their developement by 
transplanting after they have started their growth. Your garden loses 
the charm and beauty of the flowers that first season. 
Most of the varieties in this list are early Spring bloomers. By September 
they have, for all practical purposes, finished their developement. They 
are strong, healthy, vigorous-rooted plants. When transplanted to your 
garden in September they make a certain root growth during the late Fall 
so that by Spring they are ready to continue their natural, unhindered 
growth, and will bloom profusely with that "established appearance", so 
desired in a garden or rockery. 
Plants are cleaner, sturdier, and easier to handle in the Fall. September 
is much to be desired over unsettled April. There are so many things to 
do in the Spring—divide plants, prepare annual beds, sow seeds—Why not 
do the work that is better done in the Fall? When planted in the Fall 
your alpine garden and borders are ready—and from the first bloom of 
Spring you can enjoy it to the fullest extent. 
Our plants have thrived and developed into rugged specimens despite a 
year of the most adverse weather conditions possible. It is further 
testimony to the truth of our slogan—"What will live and grow for us will 
live and grow for you." 
Your interests are our first consideration, and we trust we may have the 
opportunity to share with you in making your garden more distinctive and 
lovely. 
Yours very truly.
