When to Plant. 
HE question of just when to plant to get the best 
A results is so important that those who have little 
experience along these lines will be glad of advice. If 
you are ready for your plantings in the spring by all 
means get it done then, but if conditions are not con¬ 
venient until later in the season, it is better to attend 
to it then rather than wait until another spring. 
SPRING PLANTING. Practically all kinds of 
Hardy Trees and other Hardy Plants can be plant¬ 
ed to advantage any time after the ground is free 
from frost and up to the time that the foliage is 
well started. It is, however, always advisable to 
get one's plantings made as early in the season 
as possible. Sometimes it so happens that orders 
reach us too late for successful spring planting, in 
which event, we hold the order over until the early fall 
planting season. 
AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER are desirable 
months for the transplanting of practically all the 
Hardy Herbaceous Plants, Strawberries (pot grown) 
and Evergreens. The weather conditions are favor¬ 
able, including sufficient rainfall resulting in the newly 
transplanted plants getting a firmly established root 
growth before cold weather. The many advantages of 
planting at this season are really very important. 
OCTOBER, NOVEMBER and DECEMBER offer 
a very desirable season for transplanting of practically 
all kinds of Hardy Deciduous Trees, both fruit and 
ornamental, Vines, Shrubs, Roses, etc. And again at 
this season of the year there is usually less hurry in 
the garden than in the spring, and it is worth while 
to anticipate the spring rush and get such work as 
can be done in the fall out of the way. 
We are always glad to advise with those seeking 
information on this important question of planting.
