Get Full Bloom a Whole Year Sooner 
Save from 25 to 50 Per Cent — with Fall Planting 
The plants listed in this folder are the very same ones we will be shipping next Spring (with the 
exception of the Peonies and Spring bulbs, which must be planted now). In your garden through the Fall 
and over the Winter they can be storing up energy, spreading out their roots, getting firmly established, 
ready to pay you extra dividends of bloom and fragrance as a result. 
Summer and Fall are ideal for planting, too, because you can plan for your garden with it spread out 
before you in full growth. There’s no question of "remembering” what you need—you can actually 
see the holes that need filling or the pictures that need completing. 
FALL PRICES ARE LOWER 
We offer many collections in the Fall at prices 
that can save many dollars in building or main¬ 
taining your garden. It is not simply that digging 
the plants is easier and better—everything about 
Fall shipping saves us money. 
The season is longer, we are not so rushed. It is 
actually easier to ship. Our stock is usually 
complete on all varieties. Frequently we have a 
surplus of some varieties that we offer at extra¬ 
special savings. (See the prices on our Peony 
Collections this year.) 
We reflect all those savings in the prices in this 
list. And this year we believe prices are lower 
for our plants and bulbs than we will be able to 
make them for many years to come. 
THIS FALL SUPPLEMENT 
This Fall Supplement is not a full list of our 
stock. It is designed to call your attention to 
such plants and bulbs as are best set in autumn. 
If you have mislaid your catalog, ask for another. 
ALL PRICES ARE NET 
Peonies, and all Collections must be shipped 
Express Collect. On all other plants or bulbs we 
will prepay postage or express, as you prefer, if 10 
per cent is added to the price of the plants and 
bulbs in your order. Add 20 per cent for points 
west of the Mississippi. This covers both ship¬ 
ping cost and special packing. If no shipping 
method is specified, we will ship Express Collect.

TWO REGAL PERENNIAL COLLECTIONS OF RARE VALUE 
Fall is the ideal time to plant perennials. In late August or early September, the Spring-and-Sum- 
mer-blooming plants are making root-growth for next year’s flowering. These two selections are true 
"pictures,” chosen for their range of color, height, and form. Bought singly, they would be 50 per cent 
more expensive. No substitutions, please, at these special prices.

PROTECTING PLANTS 
A little protection is essential for nearly all the hardy plants in winter; not a protection so much 
against frost, for this is natural to them, but a protection against mild winter weather. Plants that are 
hardy enough for the severest winter weather may be killed by alternate freezing and thawing. Nature 
often provides protection in the dead foliage falling about the plant but we should protect them with 
three or four inches of marsh hay or straw put on in early November, with a little brush to prevent this 
covering being blown off.
