An immediate result by the use of the Hicks Evergreen Tree-Mover.— Italian winter garden formed by evergreen 
hedges. At the right are evergreen arches backed by groups of Silver Fir and other evergreens 25 to 30 feet high, making 
a sheltered nook for the children on windy winter days. " Roslyn House," the residence of Mr. Stanley Mortimer. 
Formal Garden Material 
One of the main reasons why the formal ' gardens of Italy, France and England are especially beau- 
tiful is because the native trees of the country have been used in the development of their designs. 
Extravagant and humiliating failures fre- 
quently result from trying to attain similar 
effects here with the same species used 
there. Gardens planted with these tender, 
imported trained trees are pleasing for a time, 
but nature takes its revenge ; the English 
Yew gets ragged and brown, the English 
Holly dies and some others look unhappy. 
The trouble simply is that the trees are 
imported from the wrong climate. Our 
Soil and Climate Chart gives general locali- 
ties producing flora hardy here. 
We have trained trees adapted to this 
climate for the various purposes of formal 
gardens. Many of these large trees are pre- 
pared for moving on tree-movers. This is 
the only way to obtain trees in scale with 
large gardens.
