Right Now You Will Enjoy Composing 



a Beautiful Grove of Pine and Fir 



A little frost in the ground does not prevent planting 

 evergreens. We transplant them practically all winter. 

 Our large evergreens, with large balls of earth, are 

 sure to succeed: in fact, we guarantee them absolutely. 

 They have been previously root pruned and trans- 

 planted. The balls are full of fibres and are held 

 solidlv together.

These big trees make beautiful and excellent screens 

 and windbreaks. You don't have to wait five to ten 

 years for them to grow to sufficient size to accomplish 

 your purpose, as is the case with small evergreens. 



Remember, you take no risk when you buy Hicks 

 Trees. We guarantee to replace any that fail to grow 

 satisfactorily.
