SONS, but we waited and waited more
eagerly for that than for the wealth
of bloom on something we already
have. Very early Towering things,
such as Forsythia, or Golden Bell"
| and the Judas tree; and such hardy
plants as moss pink, (Phlox subulata)
and candy cuff, and Bleeding heart;
# planted now, will give some bloom
almost before the snow is gone next
spring.
Another big advantage Of fall plants
his that you have more time to do it
now than you will next April or May.
With most of us there's a "slack
time" between the first frosts, and the
setting in of winter, when work Of
this kind can be done more convent
emily than at any other time Of the
year. Rootgrowth continues until
lon gafter freezing weather.
Fortunately, this just fits in with
Natures scheme of things. For when
| growth above ground stops in the fall,
the roots of most shrubs and hardy
plants still remain active. The re-
suit is that plants set out now, will
| "takc hold" in their new positions,
and continue to make root growth un-
| til long after the surface of the
ground is frozen.
The result, is that next spring
plants which have seen set out this
fall, will start in growing with the
very first sign of warm weather. Not
only will they bloom, where spring
set plants might not, but they will
make vigorous growth early in the
season, and be in much better shape
to withstand the hot dry weather of
midsummer than are plants set out
in spring. ..
Set Out Some Plants This Fall
In short, if you are thinking of
making your place more attractive
and home-like by setting out hardy
flowers or shrubs, there is everything
to gain and nothing to lose by doing
it now instead of waiting until next
spring.
A pleasant way to- go about It is
to take drive, some sunny after
noon, to your nearest nursery; and
