We are frequently asked for general information in regard to proper planting times 
of perennials. 
Perennials as a general rule, with the exception of those that love water, thrive best 
on good garden soil, well drained, and especially good surface drainage, so that no 
excessive moisture or water accumulates in beds in winter, which with changeable frost 
action is detrimental. 
As a general rule, perennials are best moved during September, October and up to 
frozen ground time in the Fall, and then again in Spring, beginning with the time when 
the first shoots begin to show green on perennials; and from that time up into May 
until too much foliage and hot days terminate successful planting. 
Iris of various sorts transplant particularly well shortly after blooming time, when 
they can be divided and pruned back for new plantings. 
Peonies are best transplanted at any time during the Fall months, even up into cold 
weather; but if Spring planted, move them as early in Spring as possible. 
Mulching perennial beds in colder climates should be done with material such as 
dry straw, hay, oak leaves, but never with leaves from soft wood trees, or fertilizer, 
or grass clippings, such as will pack down and not allow the air to reach plants. The 
latter environment generally creates a heating and rotting condition, and produces a 
loss whether in the first or in subsequent years after planting. : Apply mulch only after 
frost has entered the ground to depth of several inches. 
Perennials also like an occasional application of good garden fertilization if soil is 
sour, but apply with caution. If the ground is sour, apply limestone screenings (size one- 
eight inch to dust) liberally before applying fertilizer. 
Varieties marked with a (%) are particularly adapted for the rock garden. 
Varieties marked with a (@) are suitable for waterside planting and damp places. 
Varieties marked with a (@) are good ground covers.
