The pages that follow scarcely 
open the door to the great plant 
collections that are at your ser¬ 
vice, jor there are very many 
good things for the garden, the 
park, the street not here listed. 
We welcome inquiries which 
draw upon our broader resources 
and which take into account our 
proved ability to plan and plant 
gardens arid grounds of any 
extent. 
Our main catalogue is issued 
each spring and is complete. 
This Supplement is to call your 
attention to plants suitable for 
fall planting.

T HIS Fall Supplement serves to emphasize a fact 
which the gardening public is rapidly realizing, 
that “fall planting,” where conditions are favor¬ 
able, is advantageous. 
The “fall planting” of Roses, long a controversial 
subject, is now practised by most municipal gardens 
and by practical gardeners who have found that north¬ 
ern-grown Roses, given normal winter protection, come 
through with a minimum of winter losses. 
During November and December, and until the 
ground is frozen hard, plants set out in the fall months 
will make root-growth and establish themselves, and 
start to grow in April with greater vigor than spring- 
planted Roses. 
Through lack of space we are forced to omit many 
varieties, and, in some cases, whole classes, such as 
Tea Roses, Climbing Hybrid Teas, Bourbon and Noi¬ 
settes, Pemberton, Lambert and Captain Thomas 
Roses, Australian Climbers and Tree Roses. All classes 
omitted here will be found in our Spring 1938 Catalogue. 
Old-Fashioned Roses, such as Centifolias, Damasks, 
Gallicas, and Mosses, are described in our booklet “Old- 
Fashioned Roses,” a copy of which will be mailed on 
request. 
We would also like to emphasize the fact that “fall 
planting” need not be confined to Roses. Most peren¬ 
nials, and many trees, shrubs, and evergreens, etc., can 
and should be planted in fall. 
Our spring catalogues, covering Roses, Perennials, 
Trees and Shrubs, Azaleas, Rhododendrons, and other 
Evergreens, are still available, and will be mailed on 
request. 
ATTENTION, FI ower Show Exhibitors! 
Two of our huge greenhouses are especially designed 
and adapted to forcing Hardy Deciduous Trees, Shrubs, 
Roses, Perennials, and Evergreens in any size and 
quantity. Exhibitors for the Spring 1939 Flower Shows 
are urged to contract for this service, making plans 
and selections prior to December 1, 1938. Our long 
experience as Flower Show exhibitors places at your 
disposal a valuable service at a reasonable cost.
