PERENNIALS 
Everybody likes’ to put out perennials 
and have them bloom the first year. That 
is why we believe in fall planting the 
‘hardy perennials because you do‘get re- 
sults right away the first season. They 
become established in the ground, the 
roots take hold very early in the spring 
“and you have an amazing showing the 
first year. Plant Perennials and Lilies 
this fall and you will find you will be 
- rewarded with lots of flowers next 
spring.

Every year we do more experimenting 
in fal] planting, and every year we like it 
better for the right things. Some things 
won’t transplant well in the fall, but the 
ones we are listing will really give you, 
quick results if you will set them out this 
fall. I know too, you will save money as 
I am convinced that nursery stock is go- 
Ing to be higher next spring than it is 
this fall. Fall planting is just as easy as 
eating pie. All you do is to dig a good big 
hole, and set the plants about where they 
stood in the nursery row. You can tell

this by the dirt line on the plants. Firm 
the soil well around the plants, soak 
them good and then mound a little soil 
up around the base of the plants. Most 
stock is better off pruned in the early 
spring before the growth starts. If you 
have some dry weather during the winter 
that is open, it wouldn’t hurt to soak 
the plants again. Here is what I like to 
plant in the fall and I know you will 
like it if you try it

Evergreens for Fall Shipment 

Although we are not shipping a com- 
.plete line of nursery stock this fall, we 
will take care of as many orders for Ev- 
ergreens as is possible since fall is an 
ideal time to plant them. Evergreens are 
most dormant then and transplant best in 
the fall. All trees below are balled and 
burlapped (with big ball of earth on 
roots) and are quoted F.O.B. Yankton, 
Please send orders early. Prices will be 
higher in the spring.
