Summer is Ending, and Rose Season Approaches

By Marsha Hildebrand

September, 2007

So here we are. Summer is winding down, the kids will soon be back in school, and Fall is just around the corner. Yet, there is no time to pause and lament the passage of time nor how quickly it flies by. We are off and running and the lure and excitement of the season is cheering us on!

You've heard it before; "Fall is a great time to plant," our Second Spring — as it's been called. And yes, it is a wonderful time because you can take advantage of the lingering soil warmth and the fall and winter rains to help your plants get established.

Consider adding your own special touches to fall with some great Autumn perennials and annual color. You'll be looking forward to getting out those Harvest and Halloween decorations to compliment your flowers.

Now, to aid you in taking advantage of our second summer, we offer. . .

Our Annual 50% Off Sale!

That's right, you can add glorious Japanese Maples, Boxwood, Thujas and many other ceciduous shrubs and trees, as well as, ROSES! all a fantastic savings.
