Timely Tips About Plants 
To Plant NOW 
O N general principles, many early-flowering 
(May-June) hardy perennials go through a 
rest period or semi-dormant condition during July 
and August, to resume growth during the fall. Iris, 
Rock Cress, Alyssum, and Ajuga, are well known 
examples of plants for midsummer work. But 
there are two flowers that positively do best when 
transplanted during August-September. These are 
The Oriental Poppies 
and 
Pyrethrums or Painted Daisies 
Eight distinct varieties of Oriental Poppies are available 
while the Pyrethrum are offered in a wonderful mixture. 
Please write to-day for our free catalogue, offering an 
abundance of other valuable fall planting suggestions
