Rhyme in Season 
The brown leaves tumble, 
The winds grow stronger 
And shorter days 
Make the nights seem longer. 
The schools reopen, 
The children study; 
Occassional rains 
Make the playgrounds muddy. 
The stores are ready 
For summer clearance, 
And soon old Santa 
Will make his appearance. 
Fall planting has started— 
Don't let it unnerve you; 
Our competent salesmen 
Are eager to serve you. 
So come in and see us, 
The pleasure's all ours, 
And get reacquainted 
With trees, shrubs and flowers!

It’s Time For... 
BULBS, mums, autumn-blooming peren- 
nials and vines, fall foliage, and the ever- 
changing metalic beauty of succulents. 
Never have we seen higher quality bulbs 
than those which this year bedeck our 
shelves. TULIPS and HYACINTHS should 
be purchased now and stored a few weeks 
in the refrigerator at 35-40 degrees before 
planting after November Ist. Named va- 
rieties, separate colors, $1.50 to $3.50 a 
dozen. A fabulous new PARROT TULIP of 
incredible size is Wonder, an electric crim-

other new Parrot Tulip is Sunshine, ruffled 
yellow. Outstanding in the Darwin type 
Tulip is the new Rembrandt called Cordell 
Hull, crimson with white marbling. Out-

BLOOMING BLUE BLOOD 
Terrific Talauma 
We want to tell you about a truly rare 
tree which comes from the lower Hima- 
layan ranges in India. Its name is TALAU- 
MA HODGSONI and it was first des- 
cribed just one hundred years ago. It is 
an evergreen tree of medium size closely 
related to the Magnolias, well-clothed in 
huge firm leaves, producing in spring and 
early summer, large terminal flowers com- 
parable to the deciduous Magnolias but 
of much heavier texture and_ infinitely 
greater perfume. The new foliage which 
Talauma pushes out four or five times a 
year is actually more spectacular than the 
blossoms, being rich red in color with a 
translucent quality which lights up in the 
sunlight like a torch against the light green 
background of the mature foliage. 
Talauma is rare because it is exceeding- 
ly difficult to import from its native land
