Introduction 
This supplement is intended to go 
with my spring catalogue, and those 
who have not the spring list should 
ask for it before ordering. 
Autumn planting of Hardy Perennials 
has become about as popular as spring 
planting with many who have tried it. 
In fact, many of my customers insist 
that their plants set in autumn have, as 
a rule, done better than those set in 
spring. I am inclined to recommend 
early autumn planting, so that the plants 
may have time to make some root-growth 
before winter, and also to recommend 
protecting all with a mulch the first year. 
After plants are established this is not 
so necessary, as the growth they produce 
will in a measure protect them the second 
winter. Bulbs which are entirely under 
ground can be planted later, but even 
these make a root-growth in autumn and 
are better set before cold weather comes. 
Parties who wish to call me by tele¬ 
phone will please do so at 12.30 and 6.30 
p. m. during the shipping season.
