THESE are only a few of the lovely Native Wild Flowers 

 you can enjoy on your own place in Early Spring — 

 Next Spring — if you plant them this month. There are 

 hundreds of American plants, with flowers of exquisite 

 beauty— all easy to establish, all perfectly hardy. Their 

 requirements as to soil and position are simple, and once 

 properly planted they need no after care. 



My Unusual Catalogue 



If you are fond of Wild Flowers and Ferns (and who is Not), you will 

 be intensely interested in my catalogue, which will introduce to you 

 unsuspected treasures of woodland, meadow, and bog, and tell you 

 where and how you can grow them successfully. Send for your copy 

 to-day. 



Naturalistic Landscape Service 

 My Service Department is now organized and equipped to plan and 

 execute all kinds of Naturalistic Landscape work. 

 Road, path, bridge and pool construction, Woodland Plantings, Wild 

 Flower Sanctuaries, Rock Gardens, Bog Gardens, Water Gardens, etc., 

 where conditions permit, are important and beautiful features of any 

 extensive Naturalistic development, or may be treated separately 

 from any general scheme. 



If you feel that your place or any part of it can be made more beauti- 

 ful—more valuable — by Naturalistic treatment, write to me or to the 

 nearest of my representatives. Personal conferences welcomed at 

 either office.

TO COMMUTERS- 



A Personal Message from 

 Henry Hicks 



Hicks Nurseries has issued a special edition of Home 

 Landscapes just for you. It tells you how to make 

 the most out of your suburban home; how to screen 

 your house from the street; about foundation 

 plantings; the flower garden; screening the garage; 

 what trees will grow the quickest and thrive best 

 in your locality; what shrubs to plant to bring 

 the birds to your home; best trees for shade, and 

 many other planting facts the Commuter ought to 

 know. 



We are reducing the prices from 25% to 40% on many 

 items that have taken us from 15 to 25 years to 

 grow. We grew these specially for our discrimina- 

 ting clientele and this cut of prices is an oppor- 

 tunity for you to get the best that can be grown in 

 trees and shrubs at the most satisfactory prices. 

 Of course they are guaranteed to grow satisfactorily. 



November is a month when you can learn gardening, en- 

 joy gardening and teach gardening. Look around 

 your grounds to-day and decide what you need in 

 the way of Pine, Holly, Fir, Laurel, Hemlock, or 

 White Birch. Decide whether you wish to screen 

 your place from the street; or whether you want 

 additional fruit trees. Then come to the Hicks 

 Nurseries and have the satisfaction of picking out 

 your own trees and shrubs. At the Nursery we can 

 show you a rock garden and a winter garden at our 

 office which can give you some new ideas. In this 

 are growing -winter green, cotoneaster, arbutus, and 

 other cover plants, yellow azalea, which makes 

 sweeps of color under your windows; bright ber- 

 ried shrubs that give color to the winter garden and 

 feed the birds until Spring returns, evergreens to 

 make the garden beautiful all winter. In the mid- 

 dle Atlantic states garden planting is practical for 

 nine months in the year, and November is one ot 

 the best of these, inasmuch as we can give your or- 

 der special attention at this time. 



The moving of really large trees, such as oaks, lindens 

 and maples from 25 to 40 feet high is a science. 

 November is a most timely opportunity in view of 

 our supply of machinery and trained men to do 

 this sort of work. Prices on these large trees are 

 lower than in pre-war times. 



We shall be glad to send you any of our booklets which 

 will be of interest to you, but we hope you will be 

 sure to ask for the Commuter' s Edition of Home 

 Landscapes. 



If you love a plant, you can make it live 

 at any time.
