Continuous Interest in Gardening 



The t)Lst gardens and the most mutually satisfactory all around relations are 

 where owner, gardener and landscape architect can he continually improving the 

 country place. With garden enthusiasts, the pleasure of discovering, planning, 

 ordering and planting is as great as the pleasure realized from the results six 

 months or six years later. The gardener knows that "if you love a plant, you 

 can make it live anytime" is usually true. Owners as a rule do not know it. I 

 asked Arthur Herrington at the Flower Show "Why do people think of planting in 

 the spring only?" He anwered, "Tradition." 



Hicks Nurseries will help you out hy planting and guaranteeing all summer. 

 There are perennials in pots and things that can be dug up with a clump of earth 

 which will decorate the flower garden immediately. There are some good varieties 

 of perennials here and the colors can be selected in full bloom to carry out a 

 color scheme. After the first week, the plants will take hold and give satisfac- 

 tion this year, and next year be like an old garden. 



Shrubberies often need revising, and gardeners tell us the time to i}rune is just 

 after flowering. Old shrubs can be safely moved in July and new better colored, or 

 mure up-to-date varieties added. We have many of the new and rare varieties 

 introduced through the Arnold Arboretum and Highland Park, Rochester ready 

 for planting all summer. 



Shade trees were once considered movable with safety only in early spring or 

 late fall. You can obtain from Hicks Nurseries hundreds and thousands of lindens, 

 maples, oaks, beeches, tulip trees, hornbeams and cucumber magnolia six to thirty 

 feet high in full leaf in June, July and August. Lifted and moved by our careful, 

 common- sense system, trees keep right on growing better than if transplanted in 

 the old way. A few may drop some of their leaves and look wilty and yellow for 

 a month. They will recover. 



Evergreens are delivered with a ball of earth. With our system of root pruning 

 and transplanting they produce a lot of fibrous roots close to the ball. With coarse 

 long-rooted species like Pinus Austrica and Abies Concolor the old method of 

 waiting vmtil August is no longer necessary. Such fibrous rooted evergreens as 

 Thuya, Retinospora and Rhododendron, can be safely transplanted when the growth 

 is soft in May and June. 



Fruit trees, berry bushes, grape vines, rose bushes and vines are available in 

 pots and tubs for immediate hearing. 



Gardeners are in a position of authority to encourage summer planting. We 

 will do our part and thank you for suggestions on how to do it better.
