If You Think Hicks Trees Are High-Priced, 

 This Will Show You Are Mistaken 



"^ HE first limited number of anything produced, whether it be 

 trees or automobiles, is costly. As output increases, cost decreases. 

 This is a well understood fact. It hardly seems worth mentioning, 

 were it not that some people have failed to apply its principle to 

 Hicks Nursery. 



For example: Twenty years ago we started growing big trees. 

 Those first produced logically came high. But, even as Icng ago as 

 that, sold freely, because of the novelty it was to successfully 

 move big trees and produce almost overnight, results that it had 

 always taken ten or fifteen years to accomplish by planting the 

 customary small trees. 



So great was the demand for these big trees that for years we 

 had difficulty in producing them fast enough. Very naturally, as 

 with anyt'nng else, tlie cost kept up proportionately. 



But now. with our enlarged planting areas and improved methods 

 of growing, we have greatly increased our output of trees and 

 correspondingly lowered the cost of producing them. 



For example, a fine big maple that it used to be necessary to ask 



you 



can now buy of 



for $40 



$eO for. 

 to $50. 



If you compared the proportionate amount 

 of cubic feet of foliage of our large trees 

 with the usual small ones, c osting few 

 dollars, ours were always cheaper, even at 

 the old $60 price. 



SMALL TREES 



And when it comes to small trees, we have 

 a goodly supply from 6 inches up. Fine 

 full-vigored stock such as this soil of ours 

 produces when combined with Hicks grow- 

 ing and root pruning methods. 



The prices on these are j'.ist what you 



would expect to pay for trees of their 

 quality. And no more. 



Especially fine Rhododendrons we have in 

 abundance : as well as shrubs and hardy 

 flowers in large variety. 



Come and see for yourself. Pick out just , 

 what you want. If you can't come, send 

 for catalog. We can safely ship, even our 

 big trees. 1,000 miles. 



GUARANTEE 



Every Hicks tree is guaranteed to live and 

 thrive satisfactorily or cheerfully replaced. 

 Note that word cheerfully. 



We shall expect to either hear from you 

 or see you here.

The regular monthly meeting of the

 Garden, exhibited some beautiful plant'^ 

 and sprays of flowers of Schizanthus Wise- 

 tonensis. He also exhibited some finely 

 grown cinerarias. Each , of the exhibitors 

 was awarded a first class certificate of 

 merit. The exhibits provoked much discus- 

 sion among the members and practically 

 every minute detail of culture was brought 

 one.

 sent a paper which was read by Mr. Sin- 

 clair, on the history and the quantity of 

 jilants and cut flowers at the A. X. Pierson
