Fall Planting Has Many Advantages 
T TTE principal advantage lies in the fact that at this time 
of the year all stock is in the very best dormant state, and 
when planted in that condition becomes thoroughly acclimated 
in ample time for an early and abundant bloom. 
Besides, the nurseries are not so rushed as in the spring, and 
deliveries can be made just when and how you want them. 
Another important advantage, is that the fall planting period 
is a much longer season, eliminating ail the haste and 
gambling with the weather. You can take all the time 
necessary to lay your plans carefully and execute them with¬ 
out endangering their success by indulging in hasty methods. 
Incidentally our service department composed of seasoned ex¬ 
perts, will cheerfully assist you, gratis, to overcome any of 
your planting problems. 
We suggest the following groups as ideally suited for Fall 
Planting.

Spring’s Blessing! 
^ W hen you are all “fed up" with winter, when the 
sight of snow and ice disgusts—then, just then, na¬ 
ture puts forth her daintiest apologies through some 
of the most charming forms of plant life. Hepaticas or "Bloodroot”, as 
shown above, Claytonias and Trilliums, Blue Bells (Mertensias) and 
Dog Tooth Violet—a host of gentle children of the wilds come to 
NOW is the time to plant them! 
They start growth so early that spring transplanting is not advisable. 
The most charming pictures imaginable may be created right around 
your home with the help of wild flowers. Taking proper stock of their 
simple soil requirements, they will grow anywhere. And there are special 
kinds for most any situations that you are willing to set aside for them. 
Special Offer for Prompt Action 
I will send ten plants each of ten distinct and beautiful spring flowers, one hun¬ 
dred in all, for $12.00. 
I still have a few copies of my catalogue (pronounced the most unique index to 
wild flowers) which I’ll gladly mail to those interested enough to ask for it.
