AMERICAN FORESTRY'S ADVERTISERS 



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 staff 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.
