hurry. Whatever you select is ready for shipment and

here everything for the garden that is worthwhile,

THE PLANTING SEASON 
Transplanting can be done successfully as soon as 
the frost is out of the ground in the spring until early 
June. Evergreens and herbaceous perennials can be 
successfully transplanted until early July. We usually 
begin to dig about March 20th. 
Evergreens may be transplanted successfully during 
August, September and October; herbaceous peren¬ 
nials during September and until the middle of Oc¬ 
tober. Deciduous trees, shrubs, vines;, fruit trees 
transplant best during March, April, May, October

Pot grown roses can be planted all through the 
summer.
