HOUSE & GARDEN’S FALL PLANTING LIST 
Generally speaking, all hardy perennial plant forms 
can be successfully set out in the autumn, from early 
September until snow flies, depending upon their par¬ 
ticular class and species. When planted at this time 
they will begin at once to establish themselves in their 
new situations and be ready to put forth their best 
growing efforts with the first stirrings of spring. An¬ 
other advantage of fall planting is that it leaves less 
work to be done in those always busy weeks which 
come with the opening of each new gardening season.
