Shrubs, Trees, 
Evergreens for Fall 
On the next 14 pages are the choicest of these woody 
plants in sizes suitable for autumn planting. It is an enormous 
help to a plant (gains nearly a year’s growth) to be in the 
ground all winter ready for an EARLY spring start—easy to do 
by watching a few simple rules. 
1. New plantings need watering for autumn root-growth. 
Water freely up until ground freezes. 
2. Time of planting is important: Evergreen trees and shrubs 
best from August to early October (they need late Fall for 
root-growth)—deciduous trees and shrubs from October to 
frost—(after leaves turn color). 
3. A very few plants are best moved only in Spring when sap 
is running. Fall planting of these can be done:—(a) By digging 
with an earth ball. (6) by using small sizes only. (Birch and 
Magnolia are typical of this small group.) 
4. VERY small evergreen seedlings are likely to frost-heave. 
Easily overcome—Simply strew a thin mulch of salt hay or 
light straw in the beds.
