THINK of the tiemendous advantage of being able 

 to buy maples with a trunk 6 inches in diameter 

 and a spread of branches 1 5 feet. Think of the 

 fifteen years you overcome in waiting for saplings to 

 grow up. Think of thelmmediate comfort, for example; 

 of one or more of such trees to take the sun's glare off 

 your porch. 



Think of the way such a tree will immediately screen 

 your house from the objectionable or the curious. 



Think of how they would add to the attractive lines of 

 your house by "tying it to the grounds"; as the architects 

 say. When you think of all these advantages; and then 

 find out Hicks price for such trees, you will wonder why you 

 ever gave a second thought to maple saplings for the im- 

 portant positions. 



We want you to come to the Nursery and see these trees. 

 Come as soon as possible and pick out one or more. 



If you can't come — write for further facts and literature. 



November is the time to arrange for moving large ever- 

 greens in winter. Are there Pines, Cedars, Spruce, Hemlock, 

 Fir, six to twenty-five feet high you want to have on your 

 grounds? We have them in our nursery. Are there 

 some in your vicinity to move? We can send competent 

 men and apparatus. Mulch now to keep out frost, and 

 economical work can be done all Winter. 



Plant your trees, shrubs and hardy plants this Fall if 

 possible. There is much to be said in its favor. Send 

 tor Tree, Shrub, and Hardy Plant booklets.
