I Plant Everp;reens 3-25 Feet Hi^h and 



All Winter Planting Will Be Welcome 



IF you need to screen unattractive surroundings, garage, stable, poultry house, 

 laundry yard, or street. 

 IF 3^ou admire evergreens. 



IF you need windbreaks to your house, garden, out door room or play ground. 

 IF you enjoy hunting big Cedars, Pines, Oaks, Maples, Dogwoods, Laurel, etc., 

 and making your place look like an old place right away. 



IF you have evergreens, deciduous trees or shrubs to move to other parts of your 



grounds or give away or sell. 



The Proof 



Hicks Nurseries employed 100 men last winter, 

 except 14 days. Half were digging trees. 

 Our winter sales for the past four years were 

 $16,000.00. 



In January the ground freezes six inches, but is 

 easUy worked if previously mulched to keep out 

 frost. 



On the mainland the frost is deeper and more 

 continuous, but it is easy to dig through with 

 pick or cold chisel. 



If it costs a few cents additional to plant we 

 will bear that to keep our stafT all winter.

TREE SEEDS 



We have never looked 



upon Tree Seeds as a 



side issue. Instead, we 



have devoted a large 



portion of our time to 



them. 



The assortment we 



carry more than doubles 



that of any house — 



American or Foreign. We 



stock even the rarest 



species. 



Send your list to us for 

 prices.
