PERENNIALS FOR FALL PLANTING 
It is well known that some perennials suoh as Oriental Poppies must be planted 
in the fall when dormant. It is our contention, based upon years of experience, that 
many others (especially Spring flowering sorts) do best when transplanted in the fall 
thus enabling them to become established before blooming time. Due to the unfavorable 
growing season just past which featured disastrous floods, our list is much shorter 
than we had anticipated and so early ordering is therefore suggested. All plants aro 
field grown and are freshly dug just prior to shipment thus insuring your receiving 
vigorous plants. Prices, unless otherwise specified, are 40¢ each or 2 of same variety 
for 75¢. Before ordering be sure to read "Conditions of Sale" at bottom of last page.
