ROSES 
Fall Is The Ideal Time to Plant 
Leading rosarians, horticultural colleges and plant research 
experts now say that Fall is an even better time than Spring to 
plant. Our -Department of Plant Research thoroughly approves 
the practice. Our growing number of Fall-planting customers 
‘contirm the advantages by experience. 
Roses, and the perennials and fruits shown in this edition of 
our catalog, produce EARLIER and FINER blooms next season 
when planted this Fall. The roots have a longer time to become 
established in your soil before producing wood and leaf structure 
to support abundant bloom and fruit. 
There are advantages to you, the gardener, as well. You have 
had all season to watch and appraise your garden. You know 
better where you want the new things—where to enlarge your 
beds and borders—or what to replace with something more de- 
sirable. The rush of Spring and Summer gardening is over. The 
soil is mellow, easier to prepare. You can plant in Fall leisurely, 
without the pressure of so many other things to do! 
Roses, perennials, fruits are shipped at the proper time for 
Fall planting in your climate. We dig the plants when they 
have completed their seasonal growth, and when they have be- 
come dormant. (It is safe to plant right up to the time when 
the ground is frozen.)
