An Announcement 



The 1912 edition of 



"3 Little IBook about RO0C0" 



is bound in an embossed colored cover 

 by Stillson, representing the acme of 

 the engravers', printers' and paper 

 makers' art. In beauty of color and 

 chaste elegance I have never seen any- 

 thing to equal it, and besides it is the 

 most helpful and inspiring of anything 

 of its kind yet attempted. 

 It's the story of a successful enthus- 

 iast, who for ten years was an amateur 

 himself and possesses a charm and 

 individuality which will delight — a 

 frankness which will win you. 

 Mailed free to customers and intend- 

 ing purchasers — to anyone, without 

 obligation to purchase, for ten cents 

 in coin or stamps.

Hicks has Trees of all 



Sizes from 20 Inches up 



to 20 Feet and Shrubs 



up to 6 Feet 



We don't know of another nursery in the country that 

 has such a fine assortment of choice stock in anything 

 like such quantities. Although we have thousands of 

 small trees for sale, still we encourage the planting of 

 the larger ones because they seem better value. 

 To us a tree like this one at, say, $40, is a better 

 buy than ten saplings at $4.00, because you get imme- 

 diate results — no long years waiting for them to 

 grow sizeable. 



Come to our nursery and pick out some of these 

 splendid Hicks trees — it's the best way to get an idea 

 of comparative sizes — and a sure way of getting just 

 the tree you want — when you want it.

A lawn roller whose weight can be adjusted to the con- 

 ditions of your lawn, garden, tennis court or driveway. 



• , (A light Machine for the soft, wet spring lawn. 

 ALL IN O N E < A heavy Machine for the hard, dry summer lawn. 



( A heavier Machine for the driveway or tennis court. 

 Why buy one of the old style iron or cement fixed-weight rollers that is generally too heavy 

 or too light to do your lawn the most good, paying for two or three hundred pounds of useless 

 metal — and freight on it as well — when less money will buy the better, more efficient 



"Any weight" Water Ballast Lawn Roller 



A difference of 50 pounds may mean success or ruin to your lawn — a half-ton machine will 

 spoil it in early spring, while a 200 lb. roller is absolutely useless later in the season. If you 

 desire a fine, soft, springy turf of deep green, instead of a coarse, dead looking patch of grass, 

 use an ' Anyweight" Water Ballast Roller — built in 3 sizes, all of 24 inch diameter and of 

 24, 27 and 32 inch widths. Drums boiler riveted or acetylene welded. Weight 1 1 5- 1 24 or 

 134 lbs. empty — from that "anyweight" up to half a ton when ballasted. Filled in 30 

 seconds — emptied in a jiffy. Runs easy — lasts a lifetime.
