TAYLORS FALLS, MINNESOTA—FALL 1935 
FALL PLANTING 
Tulips and the hardy bulbs like scilla, grape 
hyacinth, etc., must be planted at this time. Plant 
in well drained location about 3 times the dia¬ 
meter of the bulb, and mulch well after planting 
or when the ground freezes. In the rock garden 
or border use 5 or 6 of a type or color in a group 
for effective results. 
ROSES — GRAPES — APPLES 
And most shrubs and trees that are subject to 
winter injury — or need protection should not be 
planted until spring. Hardy ornamental trees, 
hedges, cuttings and seedlings for windbreak 
purposes can be planted as soon as mature; altho 
they make no root development—with many it 
is a great help to have them planted NOW while 
time and conditions are more favorable than in 
the spring. 
EVERGREENS — PEONIES 
And hardy flowers root freely after the 
fall rains begin and while soil is warm—hence it 
is a decided advantage to have them planted 
early. This is the best time to work over, divide, 
clean up or make changes in the perennial border.

Recent experiments have proven that much 
damage is often done to strawberries and hardy 
perennials before they are covered in the fall. 
Mulch lightly as soon as the ground begins to 
freeze — as it is the alternate freezing and thaw¬ 
ing that affects their vitality or crop. This is espe¬ 
cially important with newly planted perennials.
