Iris Planting Time 
Is Here! 
Fall Planting 
Thoughts 
Iris and 
Peonies, for 
Spring Bloom, 
MUST be 
Planted 
This Fall. 
You must do fall planting if you want flowers 
during May and June. The spring beauty of 
Tulips and Daffodils, of Iris and Peonies, will 
not be gracing your garden unless you set out 
the bulbs or roots this fall. August is the time 
to get ready your new Iris borders. September 
should see Daffodils, Tulips and Peonies 
go into the ground, October is a good 
month to continue all this work. Until 
a few years ago I offered Dahlias ONLY 
and they will continue to be my 
main stand-by. But my organi¬ 
zation has grown, the fall plant¬ 
ing idea has grown, and so I am 
now ready to supply choice Iris, 
Peonies and various Dutch Bulbs. 
Alexander Service in these items 
is ready to help you materialize 
any spring garden plans. Offers made here are 
just by way of getting acquainted! My collection 
of Iris and Peonies embraces many of the choicest 
sorts. I import large quan¬ 
tities of Darwin Tulips, 
Hyacinths, etc. Let my 
free catalogue acquaint you 
fully with my preparations 
to help you in your fall 
planting plans.
