Dear Friends,
It's snuggle weather again. Sweaters and smooches with people and pooches. I love fall! The trees are beginning to turn colors and the air is crisp and cool. This is a perfect time of year for planting.
The trees from the City of Washington Beautification project have arrived this week and are ready to pick up! The varieties are listed below. If you missed placing an order, but would like to still participate, there will be extra trees available here at Hillermann's. And the best part......$10 from EVERY tree goes to benefit Franklin County United Way!
So get cozy and enjoy the weather. I hope you'll fall in love with my favorite season.

NOW PLANT, PLANT, PLANT!  Fall in Missouri is the ideal time of year to plant all kinds of things from turf grasses, to shrubs, evergreens or deciduous trees. Yet, when it comes to planting, many gardeners only think of the spring. Why is fall such an ideal time to plant? First, the warm soil in the fall helps encourage root growth. The roots continue to grow through our mild winters becoming well established by the spring. This makes fall plantings much better equipped to handle our heat and drought once summer finally arrives. Plus, our fall and spring rains help do the work in establishing your plants so you don't have to do as much. During this time, there is also fewer pests and disease problems to attack your plant while it is young. Planting trees in the fall of the year is perfect timing to get better results. Choosing varieties for that special spot should be given some thought. So plant a tree this fall. You will help the environment, lower your electric bills, and enhance your property value.

Bulbs are Just Like Eggs!
Avoid springtime regrets - plant your bulbs now!
Every year we remind you that fall is the only time you can plant those wonderful spring-blooming bulbs. Plan ahead and you will be the envy of your neighbors next spring! Tulips, daffodils, crocus, hyacinth, alliums and more are waiting for you. Bulbs are an investment with a payback of years and years of springtime beauty.
When you plant your bulbs is the perfect opportunity to dig in a generous amount of plant food. It's the only chance you will ever have to get the nutrients the bulbs need for maximum flowering directly under the bulbs in the root zone of your plants. Bone meal is the perfect supplement to add to your bulbs when planting.
Do you agree that a bigger egg makes a bigger omelet? Well it is the same with bulbs. The bigger the flower bulb is, the bigger the flower will be! But the resemblance goes further than that! Like eggs, bulbs are graded by size before they are sold, with the larges ones fetching the highest price. The smallest bulbs, which have not yet stored enough energy to produce flowers, are sold in large amounts for low prices, often by mail-order magazines and big-box stores looking to keep costs low.
At Hillermann's, we only stock bulbs big enough to produce flowers right away in their first spring. Come see our great selection.

Autumn Birding

How do you get birds in your view? Well, migrating takes energy, and energy takes FOOD! Give the birds a treat! Come visit Hillermann for bird feeders, birdseed, and EVEN a heated birdbath that stays flowing all year long, without freezing! Everything you need is right here at your fingertips! Look out your windows to see birds in no time!

The Pot Shop staff has created many new creative pottery pieces with two unique firing processes. The raku and barrel firing processes both have a less controlled environment that includes flame and creates unique color in the finished pieces. This was the first time they tried the barrel firing, and they had good success. Come by and ask the staff in the Pot Shop about these pottery pieces and creating them.
