Don't pay a nickel each for 



Peaches and Pears 



when you can pick them off the trees 



Fruit picked ripe from the trees is far superior in taste 

 to that which you buy from the vendor's stand. Such 

 fruit is generally picked green and allowed to ripen in 

 transit. Fruit, deprived of the nutritious sap from the 

 mother stem, sometimes for weeks, can never equal the 

 luscious flavor of that freshly picked. 



Go into partnership with Nature and let her provide winter luxuries for your 

 table. Grow your own fruit and enjoy jams, preserves and jellies when- fruit is 

 scarce. Your home grown, home made preserves are infinitely superior to the 

 higher priced "canned" varieties. 



But when you plant, take care to plant sturdy 

 stock of proven merit, that your forethought, ex- 

 pense and effort may not be expended in vain. 

 Hicks fine fruit trees, berry bushes, grape vines 

 and strawberry plants are all of pedi- 

 -' ''. greed strain. The) are now in prime 

 \ condition to transplant. 



Hicks fruit trees planted 

 this fall will gain a year's 



growth over those put out next sprin_ 

 chance of loss because Hicks trees, big a 

 guaranteed to grow satisfactorily 



Be sure to plant currants, 

 gooseberries, and raspb 

 ries. A few bushes 

 of each will supply the 

 needs of a family.
