GARDEN MONTHLY — 
Vol. 2, No. 3 July, 1942 
Every year, in the month of July, we issue a list of seasonable items 
that are ready for shipment during the months of July, August, Sep- 
tember and October. Perennial seeds are best planted as early in the 
summer as possible and we give complete instructions on how to grow 
them on the inside pages. A small investment of seed can produce a 
valuable assortment of perennial plants. 
In regard to Pansies and Delphiniums, we send nothing but freshly 
harvested seed this summer. The main purpose of this bulletin is to 
serve as a reminder that the season is at hand for the planting and 
sowing of the items that we have listed. The listing of fall-sown 
annuals appearing in this bulletin have been tested and found very 
satisfactory; in fact, we maintain that the only proper time of the 
year to plant annual Larkspur and Sweet Peas is in the fall as late as 
December Ist. 
Last year we offered a new collection of Bearded Iris and this year 
we offer some newer selections that are still more beautiful. 
We hope that your Schling garden is better than ever this year. 
Respectfully, MAX SCHLING SEEDSMEN, Inc. 
P.S.—Reserve the most treasured corner of your garden for some of Max 
Schling’s seeds and bulbs. :

PEONIES - For Best Results Plant Early 
It is important to plant Peonies early so that the roots may begin a 
strong growth before hard winter sets in. While late planted Peonies 
produce very nicely, the difference between early and late planting is 
quite marked. Our tip is to plant as early in September as possible.
