More Favorites for Fall Planting 
OON come those lovely mornings with the fall feel in the air, when all mortals blessed with 
“oreen fingers’ again feel the irresistible urge to plant. And what could be more pleasing 
to Mother Nature, for Autumn is the ideal time of year to plant some of the finest Peren- 
nial Flowers which will remain to grace your garden for many years. 
For well-established borders and beds next spring and summer, we have included in this selected 
list those which by experience have been proved to benefit from planting in the fall. As ex- 
perienced gardeners know, much time is thus saved. In spring, a thousand different tasks press 
for immediate attention. Now, you not only put the plants in weak spots still fresh in memory 
from studying the summer and fall bloom, but you also insure robust, well-developed plants 
with no open spaces even the first season. Here is your answer to the problem of bulb shortages 
this fall. 
Fall plants should be mulched preferably with straw or marsh hay so the ground is covered, to prevent alternate 
thawing and freezing. Complete, simple instructions for planting and care will be sent gladly, with your order. 
If followed, we guarantee results and will replace next spring what plants you were unsuccessful in wintering.

Heliopsis 
Summer Gold 
(Hardy Zinnia) 
This is the first year we have offered 
this fine new variety. One of the most 
effective summer flowering plants that 
bring a bright and cheery spot of rich 
gold which never fails to attract atten- 
tion—at a season when many gardens 
need more color. The picture at right 
shows just a few plants at one corner of 
the test block in our nursery fields this 
summer. The excellent daisy-like semi- 
double flowers are 4 in. across, borne 
very profusely from June till frost. 
They last a long time in bouquets. 
After first bloom the plants should be 
cut back immediately for another crop 
which repeats very quickly. 3 ft. 
3 for $1; 10 for $2.50 

garden. A special virtue is restrained growth of not over 4 ft. 
rather than to reach the very tall stages of the old-fashioned 
varieties. They bloom profusely in August and September.
