ROEDING’S QUALITY ORNAMENTALS 

STEP UP YOUR ENJOYMENT e BETTER RESULTS IN YOUR GARDEN 
A well-planned garden, built a little at a time, is a source of peaceful relaxation and a cause for lasting satisfaction. 
The best way to achieve satisfaction is to build your garden from the finest materials available—they cost less in 
the long run. Choose your plants carefully—in this book we have striven for accuracy of description and adaptation. 
The best way to achieve relaxation is to plan your work ahead and not try to crowd two days gardening into one. 
A week-end gardener will begin his day with the several tasks that require regular weekly or bi-monthly atten- 
tion and allot the balance of his time to seasonal jobs or to new enterprise. Wartime daylight saving is a boon to 
the week-end gardener because more evening hours are available for irrigation just at the time of year when this is 
a major responsibility. Plan to irrigate a separate garden section each week-day evening and enjoy more lei- 
surely gardening Sunday. If you find that your shipment of nursery stock is more than can be efficiently handled in 
one day, don’t fret over it. Heel-in bare root and balled stock in a shallow trench in the shade, wet down thoroughly, 
and forget it until next Sunday. Plants in containers should be soaked on arrival and kept moist until planted.

Garden lovers were so well pleased with the arrangement used in 
our 1944 Orchard and Garden Book that we are following the same 
plan for 1945. The plants described in the pages following are classi- 
fied according to their preferred exposure and according to the 
height they are normally expected to grow in the well-kept garden. 
We wish to call your attention particularly to the new varieties in- 
dexed to the left. They will add new life and charm to your garden. 
WHAT, WHEN, WHERE TO PLANT 
Important questions to the home gardener, but quickly answered by 
turning the pages of this book. Briefly, a good time to set out plants 
that have a distinct dormant period, such as fruit, flowering, and shade 
trees, grapevines, berries, roses, and deciduous flowering shrubs is 
January through March. Most of this material will be available during 
the growing season in handy containers at slightly increased prices. 
Evergreens have a year-around planting season because they are 
always available in containers or with a ball of earth around the roots. 
Fall is traditional bulb planting time and all varieties for planting in 
that season are described in our annual Fall Planting Guide (free on 
request). Bulbs listed on page 48 in this book are for spring planting.

PLAN YOUR 
GARDEN 
This book is arranged to help you plan 
a new garden or revamp an old one. 
First, we suggest that you make a rough 
sketch to scale of the area to be land- 
scaped. Mark the positions of the shrubs 
and trees to be planted. Second, read the 
descriptions on the following pages and 
select varieties appealing to you suit- 
able for each location, noting their names 
on your plan. Third, order by mail as 
many as you can conveniently plant on 
a week-end, or take your list to our 
nearest garden store (see page 29) and 
make a personal selection.
