FALL PLANTING 
FALL IS THE IDEAL TIME TO 
PLANT BULBS, TREES, SHRUBS 
AND ROSES. We list in thi cata- 
log only such kinds which are 
suitable for fall planting. They 
will make new roots in the late 
fall and early spring and, as a 
result, they will grow and bloom 
next spring almost like plants 
established for many yecrs.
