Big Pines for August-September Planting 



TREES 6 to 20 feet high. Trees that save you five to ten years or more. Guar- 

 anteed to grow satisfactorily or replaced. They have been skillfully grown 

 in the nursery, frequently rootpruned and transplanted. This results in a 

 compact system of small feeding roots contained in a big ball of earth. We have 

 invented canvasses and platforms for securely holding this ball of earth. They 

 will ship a thousand miles.

OW V^ciri 1 Use 1 IlCm green. Excellent for the seashore or mountains. 



Evergreens from the nursery are usually 

 considered little bright spots to look down 

 upon and wait for. These big Pines serve a 

 purpose corresponding to the side walls of a 

 house. Are you annoyed by the dust and 

 noise of the street? Are you disturbed by 

 the constant passing? Are you wishing you 

 had a larger country place where the public 

 did not intrude? To get such a place would 

 cost more money and perhaps necessitate 

 traveling further out of town. 



These Pines will make a dense screen immediately. 

 You can have them planted in a few days and enjoy 

 them immediately. Send for Hicks Evergreens for 

 August-September Planting. It suggests several beau- 

 tiful ways of arranging Pines with Laurel, Birch and Oak. 



There are thousands of other large evergreens growing 

 in squares 6 to 15 feet apart — Austrian, Scotch, Pitch 

 and Jack Pine; Hemlock, White and Nordmann's Fir,

 5 to 30 feet high? Do you wish the fun of 

 selecting and grouping them in your home 

 landscape? We will send apparatus, foreman 

 and a few expert men to work with local men 

 and teams. Jtdy is the time to start. Do 

 you want big Elms or Sugar Maples? Now is 

 the time to pick them out. The same crew 

 can move them in September or October. 



Do you wish some shrubs and flowers to plant right 

 away? We have them in boxes and pots, permitting 

 planting where the places are closed in April.
