An Object Lesson in Hicks Screen Planting 



To Which is Added a Christmas Suggestion 



NO matter how much you may think of your neigh- 

 bors you are quite apt to be annoyed by the out- 

 look of their back door, the stable, the chicken 

 yard, or the flapping laundry. 



Quite the most agreeable way of all to overcome such 

 objections, is the planting of a cedar screen as was done 

 in the case above. 



For an effectual windbreak, when planted closely, 

 cedars are without equal. 



There is a certain satisfaction incoming to our Nur- 

 sery and picking out just the trees you want, and we are 

 always glad when our customer can so do it. 



But if you can't come, we will select them. Send for 

 prices. 



In reply we will send you some unusually interesting 

 general evergreen literature. Plant evergreens — There 

 are many advantages over Spring planting. 



Now is the time to plan a winter campaign, moving 

 large evergreens 6 to 30 ft. high. Are there big ever- 

 greens wild or cultivated, within hauling distance? Are 

 there evergreens on your place beginning to crowd ? 



Let us co-operate with your men and teams and do 

 it in the best possible way. 



Here's a live Xmas suggestion : Buy your Xmas tree 

 this year of Hicks. Keep in the house a week and then 

 plant it outside. Send your order not later than Decem- 

 ber T2th, so we can ship to reach you by December 23rd, 

 so as surely not to disappoint the children.

Westbury, Long Island 



WE grow a general line of good sturdy nursery stock. Our soil and 

 climate here are peculiarly adapted to it. All our trees are several 

 times transplanted which insures a fine root system. We give more 

 than usual attention to care in packing for shipment. There's a good bit 

 of frank sincerity of the Puritan ancestors in our business methods which 

 our customers have said, is reflected in the kind of stock we grow and sell.
