Hicks Pines Screened This Stable 



A load of pines like these, lo to 15 

 feet high, shut the stable from view. 

 Haven't you a like problem that we 

 can solve for you? If you want a 

 screen, you want it at once. Waiting 

 for small trees to grow up is out 

 of the question. Hicks big trees is 

 the logical solu- 

 tion. Get our 

 price on a load 

 like this. 



We will deliver 

 it by wagon if 

 within hauling 

 distance, or they 

 will ship safely

You take no risk. Hicks trees live. 



We replace any that do not. 



If you want a single pine, say, 

 10 to 20 feet high, we have some 

 unusually fine ones. Why not or- 

 der a pine for a Christmas tree, and 

 then plant it out 

 on your grounds?
