SHADE AND PRIVACY 



Around Your Home 



There is no need that you should, for one single day, be without the comforting screen of 

 big evergreens! Twenty years ago we decided to eliminate the waiting phase from home land- 

 scape making. With the help of Hicks Big Trees you can enjoy the blue sky, the white 

 clouds and the cool breezes around your home this summer without being disturbed by 

 sights, sounds and the dust of every passing automobile or by adjacent buildings. 



Sir!** Wall^ Suburban places of Europe are surrounded by high brick walls. We 

 hJlUc TV alia can gj ve you wa ii s th a t cost less and are more beautiful, a wall of 

 fragrant Firs, Pines or other Evergreens. August is a good time to plant them. You can 

 get the best selection of trees and you can arrange them while you are on your country 



place, while your gardener is not as busy as 

 in the spring. Make the sidewall of your out- 

 door room an Evergreen Boundary. 6 to 

 16 feet tall. 



Our representative will call, help solve your 

 tree problems and stake out your ground ac- 

 cording to your ideas. Evergreens of the 

 kind we offer may be shipped safely a thou- 

 sand miles. Our stocks embrace all sizes. 

 It took us twenty 

 years to get them in 

 shape for you. 



Satisfactory 

 growth is guaran- 

 teed, since our trees 

 have been so thor- 

 oughly prepared 

 that records show 

 almost no loss, mak- 

 ing free replacing 

 necessary. 



Your family can have an evergreen boundary now
