We offer here a limited list of perennial plants which we strongly recommend for fall planting. For our complete and 
general list of perennials, please refer to our Spring 1947 Catalog. If you have mislaid your copy, we shall be glad to

WINTER PROTECTION FOR YOUR PERENNIALS: It is advisable to mulch newly planted perennials the first 
winter. Use a light mulch of excelsior, pme branches, or any other material of similar nature that does not rot and become 
too tightly matted over the plants. Apply the mulch after the ground has become frozen, from late November to late 
December.
