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 



easily 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 stafif all winter. 



IF you wish to prevent winter unem- 

 ployment. We can provide apparatus 

 and men to cooperate with your men or 

 we can attend to the entire operations. 



IF you wish to take advantage of 

 present reduced prices. Carload ship- 

 ments or less from the nursery of 

 pines, spruce, cedar, 3-25 feet high.
