Fall Planting Is Advisable 
Fall is fast becoming recognized as the ideal 
time to make new plantings of perennials. Practically 
all hardy plants can be planted successfully in the 
fall and your job of planting is then out of the way, 
so that you do not have to take time in early spring 
when there are so many other important things which 
must be done in seasonable time. 
Plants set in the fall require a slight covering 
for best results. This mulch should be removed early 
in the spring, about the first of March. You will find 
your plants settled in the soil and ready to start grow¬ 
ing. Accordingly, you will receive a larger crop of 
flowers and better growth from the standpoint of 
stems and size of flowers. Many of the plants will 
give you as good results as those planted the spring 
before. The extra care in mulching and removing 
same will be well paid for by the showing you will 
make with fall planted perennials.
