Ftardy Perennial Plants for Gall Planting | 
These are full-sized plants; not the small plants often advertised at bargain prices. 
ares tawes may be set out this fall in time to become 
well established before winter sets in; and next year will see 
them better developed, and bearing finer flowers than can be 
obtained from plants set in your border next spring. 
This advantage is accompanied with very little extra risk. We 
do not list the kinds which need special protection through the 
winter. |It is always well to apply a light mulch of straw or excelsior 
over newly planted perennials, after the ground has frozen. This will 
tend to prevent winter thaws and frost heaving. Plants should never 
be planted where water stands or where there is poor drainage.
