THE FACTS ABOUT FALL PLANTING 
Don’t blame you folks for wondering if it is safe to 
fall plant some items in your locality. Briefly, here 
USEFUL IVY COLLECTION are the facts:

only $1.49, postpaid.

With some of you it is all right to plant in the fall— 
‘above for $1.79, postpaid. 
others shouldn’t attempt it. Let’s classify you planters 
in two zones. Zone 1, (we will call it the Southern 
zone) is the area south of Central Nebraska and Cen- 
tral Iowa. You folks living in that zone can plant any- 
thing listed in this fall planting magazine during 
the fall. 
In the Northern zone, it is perfectly safe to plant 
perrennial flowers, tulips, lilies, and evergreens during 
the fall season, and in the normal planting manner, but 
you should not try to do this with strawberries, roses, 
shade trees, and windbreak trees. But it is very wise 
to order your stock fer fall shipment. Then, as soon as 
you receive your roses or windbreak, or hedge plants 
or shrubs, dig a trench out in the open, loosen the 
stock up in the bundle, lay it on its side, and cover 
it completely with at least 6 or 8 inches of moist earth. 
Tops and bottoms completely covered. Your stock 
will store 100% in this manner and the advantage is 
that you have your stock for planting at the earliest 
possible date next spring. If our weather condition 
is such at Yankton that we ean’t make shipments early 
next spring, you are safe beeause you have the stock 
already there for digging out the very first thing when 
the frost goes out of the ground. And it is the early 
-planting that is the successful planting. d
