Introduction 
Autumn planting of Hardy Perennials haB become about 
as popular as spring planting with many who have tried it. 
In fact, many of my customers insist that their plants sot 
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 woather comes. 
Parties who wish to call me by telephone will please do 
so at 12.30 and 6.30 p. m. during shipping season.
