EADING horticulturists now advocate the planting of many Peren- 
nials in the fall, to gain the earlier bloom and superlative display 
that is the reward of robust, well-established plants whose roots 
have grown into the soil even before the frost leaves the ground. 
Now is the ideal time to plan when you can observe where more color 
is needed, where obsolete plants should be replaced, where additional 
plots could be planted for your Victory Flower Garden. 
Plant this fall and have more time for other garden duties next spring. 
Complete, simple instructions will be sent with your plants, which we will for- 
ward at the proper time for setting out this fall; if followed we guarantee results 
and will replace next spring any you should be unsuccessful in wintering.
