themselves at home in the first season. 
The Montbretias, Fritillarias and Lil¬ 
ies, being taller-growing subjects, should 
be placed to the middle and rear of the 
border. Several of the Lilies are particu¬ 
lar as to the soil they are in; especially 
is this true of the Japanese kinds, which 
are partial to leaf-mould, and object vig¬ 
orously to a heavy clay soil. The latter 
are difficult bulbs to establish, unless con¬ 
ditions are quite to their liking. 
Bulbous Irises are extremely beautiful 
in the soft delicacy of their colorings, and 
for this reason they are almost indispen¬ 
sable in some portions of a large border. 
It is impossible to give, in even a very 
brief list, a selection from the many named 
varieties of bulbous plants. Very nearly 
all the kinds are wholly suited to plant¬ 
ing in the herbaceous border, and selec¬ 
tions from the dealers’ catalogues may be 
made with the assurance of excellent re¬ 
sults. The essentials to the use of bulbs 
in conjunction with hardy perennials are: 
the thorough preparation of the border 
beforehand; knowledge of the flowering 
season, and the height—-information ready 
at hand in the tradesmen's lists ; care that 
the lusty growers do not encroach upon 
the shyer subjects; and the realization 
that the life of a bulb is wholly dependent 
upon its environment. Bulbous plants 
can not be neglected or subjected to harsh 
treatment without their resenting it more 
promptly than the perennials usually 
found in the herbaceous border. Yet the 
fact that they appear in early spring when 
the first blossom is eagerly awaited, and 
the quality of brilliant or delicate tone 
they possess, are charms that will always 
make an alluring appeal to the lover of 
his garden. 
Is the Autumn a Good Planting 
Season? 
by Warren J. Chandler 
A MONG experienced gardeners there 
are and have always been many 
diverse opinions as .to whether the fall is 
a good period in which to transplant trees 
and hardy plants. 
Those favoring spring transplanting 
cite instances where hard winters have 
injured the newly transplanted stock, 
whereas if it had been set out in the 
spring it would have had an entire grow¬ 
ing season in which to become established 
in its surroundings. 
On the other hand, the gardener claim¬ 
ing fall as the best season, points to the 
disastrous results which follow spring 
transplanting in a dry, hot summer; lie 
points to the ripened condition of the 
plant's growth in the autumn and its 
chances of moving then with less check. 
The act cannot be disputed that both 
spring and fall are good periods in which 
to transplant, as there are thousands of 
examples pointing to success at both 
times. 
With a knowledge of the fundamen¬ 
tals of transplanting, one is compelled to
