lAjH'rit'iiPt' has taught us that some portions of this 
jx'i’iod are better Ilian olhers for pertain plants. Thiek, 
fh'shy roott'il [ilants like the magnolias are more pertain 
in s|)ring, also pertain plants that are somewhat tender 
and liahh' lo have their tops winter-killed, and hard- 
wooded Irees like the heeeh and bireli. 
Willi ollit'r kinds the risk seems about t'venly divided, 
and one lias to ehoose between the danger of a hot, dry 
siK'll follow ing S[)ring planting and a severe w inter fol¬ 
lowing a fall jilanling. 
Then' ari' two very suitable seasons for planting Ever¬ 
greens, namely: The end of August to early Oetober, 
WANTED 
and the latter part of Ajiril to end of May. 
Ilai’dy lu'rhapi'ous piU’f'imials may he planted ('.itln'r 
fall or spring, although lln'i'i' arc' cpiilc^ a numbc'r of ('\- 
ec'ptions. 
Most hulhous plants, sueh as Lilies, Nareissus, Tulips, 
Ilyaeinihs, c'le., may only hc' planted in the fall. 
Pac'onies arc' hc'st plaotc'd in fall, and the rub' applies 
gc'nc'rally to hc'rbac'C'ous perc'iinials that bloom in c'arly 
spiing, c'xec'pl vc'ry Ic'nch'r kinds and vc'iy shallow-roolc'd 
onc'S. 
Wc'alhc'r, soil and loeation have as mueh to do with 
deeiding the' hc'sl sc'ason as doc'S Ihc' individual plant 
itsc'lf. 
Some good points to rememher are: 
Plant in the fall if |)lants and eonditions allow. 
Avoid fall iilanting if the ground is heavy and un¬ 
drained. 
Avoid latc' spring planting in dry, hot, exposed jiosi- 
tions. 
Py planting in c'arly fall, so as to give the plants a 
ehanee to beeonie c'slablished before Hie cold weather 
sets in, you will gain a year over late jilanting Hie fol¬ 
low ing siiring. - 
LONICEKA PILEATA 
This is an interesting little hardy trailing evergreen 
plant from China. 
Observations of its behaviour made during the last 
w inter lead one to believe it is exceptionally hardy. A 
largo batch of plants came through the w inter unscathed 
although they weie growing under rather unfavorable 
conditions. 
It suggests itself as a good plant for rock gardens and 
dry stone walls. 
The foliage suggests the Box-wood, it forms low com¬ 
pact inatSi and bears fragrant yellow flowers in May. 
It is readily proiiagated from cuttings.
