Plant Your Evergreens 

 This Winter 



We Guarantee Their Success 



All last Winter, notwithstanding that February 

 was the coldest for years — we kept 50 men digging 

 and planting trees, big and little. 



Every Winter we do it. There is absolutely no 

 question about Winter tree planting being equally 

 successful for you. 



Any extra cost involved in digging through the 

 frost, just deduct from our bill. 



OUR GUARANTEE 



Any Hicks' tree not satisfactory when received — return 

 at our expense. 



Every Hicks' evergreen is guaranteed to grow satisfac- 

 torily or cheerfully replaced. 



You see we take all the risk. What could be fairer ? 



Bargain Evergreens for (ironp Planting 



If you want a group planting of evergreens fora screen, 



wind-break or ornamental feature, we have some trees that 



have slight defects: like a lower branch broken off, one side 



more developed than the other: or thin in spots: that for 



group scre-n, ormass planting are just exactly as good.

Do you love plants and blooming things? Have you ever 

 looked into the heart of a rose and admired its exquisite forma- 

 tion? Did it not seem that you could read there a still, soft- 

 whispered praise for its Maker? 



It has always seemed to us that to admire a beautiful flower 

 is one of the greatest joys of living and the greatest single force 

 toward higher aspirations. 



To plant flowers and trees around your home is the surest 

 way to awaken in the young a reverence for a higher power and 

 a respect for the law. 



It pays financially to embellish the home ground with trees, 

 shrubs and flowers. But we believe that any possible money 

 gain is insignificant when compared with the larger dividends 

 which they pay through the upbuilding of moral character.

We issue a catalogue of the most beautiful things in flower- 

 dom — those that have proved their worth. Accurate descrip- 

 tions will guide ycu in selecting the right plants and bulbs for 

 any place or purpose. There are many cultural hints — many 

 things that you would like to know — things not found in ordi- 

 nary catalogues. We are growers and in our 2 1 years of experi- 

 ence have come to know plants intimately and learned a few of 

 their secrets, all of which we give to you freely. Aside from its value as a 

 guide in selecting plants for your grounds, this book is worth preserving just 

 for the cultural notes which it contains. Send for this book today. A post 

 card will bring it by return mail. 



Our extensive Greenhouses and Nurseries are working overtime to supply 

 the demand for our products. These products are distinctive in quality — no 

 effort is spared to make them the best in their respective lines. Is it a beau- 

 tiful house plant that you want to present to a friend? We have it and will be 

 glad to send it with your card enclosed. Or a dozen or two of fine rose buds or 

 other cut flowers? Our products go everywhere. The same painstaking care is 

 given to the filling of orders for Greenhouse plants and cut flowers that has built up 

 the quality of our Nursery Stock. But send for this free book; it will tell you how 

 and why we give satisfaction. 



Let ns recommend a few shrubs or herbaceous plants that will do well in your locality.
