Hicks Trees Save Time 



This summer has perhaps emphasized to you the need of trees for shade, 

 shelter, screen, and for beautifying the lawn. 



October and November are the months to plant. 



We offer the largest trees on the market. The sizes for shipping are up 

 to 7 inches in diameter, 25 ft. high with 1 2 ft. spread of roots and top. 



Our foresight enables you to save fifteen years over planting the usual 8 ft. 

 tree. These trees have been recently transplanted or rootpruned and have a 

 wide network of small feeding roots. In our loamy soil these are numerous 

 and flexible and we have invented methods of carefully dissecting out the roots 

 and wrapping them for safe shipment. 



To order, it is not necessary to visit the Nursery as the trees are accurately 

 measured and numbered and we will give price packed F. O. B. on request.
