Fall -The Ideal 

 Tree Plantim 

 Time 



jslMm 



m& 



TF some kind friend told you of his success in 

 planting: trees and shrubs in the Fall and 

 was thoroug-hly convinced of its decided ad- 

 vantages over Spring" planting-, wouldn't you 

 be inclined to give the question enough serious 

 thought to at least send to Hicks for full in- 

 formation and a catalog showing kinds and 

 prices of the trees you want. If, however, you 

 haven't any such helpful friend, then let us act 

 as both friend and adviser and strongly urge 

 you to do your tree and shrub planting this 



Fall — now. Plant Hicks big trees if possible 

 — big ones like the maple in the illustration, 

 which was moved from our nurseries. If you 

 want smaller trees, we have them in all sizes, 

 from 30 feet down to 6 inches. No choicer, 

 sturdier, more carefully root-pruned stock can 

 be found anywhere. 



Come to our nursery if you can and make 

 selections. If you can't, you can depend on 

 our handling your mail order in a way entirely 

 to your satisfaction.
