WESTBURY, LONG ISLAND 17 



Pines 



I 



Pines are a strong feature at the Hicks Nurseries. White Pines the strongest of all. 

 The reason is not that they are easy to propagate, but that they are the right thing. They 

 are right for the sandy soil of Long Island. They are right for the climate in the north- 

 eastern states. We believed we could perform the greatest human service by growing 

 Pines and Oaks, instead of Arborvitses, Norway Spruce, Golden Retinospora and Carolina 

 Poplars. 



The quality is right. They will be delivered to you right. They are guaranteed 

 to grow satisfactorily. There is little or no disappointment because of this preliminary 

 training. They are economical for you to buy because you get more cubic yards of good 

 all year foliage than in any other tree. 



PINE, Austrian. Pinus Laricio var. austriaca. 



This species stands up against the salt spray or against Winter rains and snows, 

 and always looks the same, bright and cheerful. Our plants are especially well grown, 

 recently transplanted and root-pruned. This species has such long coarse roots 

 that it is necessary to spend more in growing-and digging with a larger ball of earth 

 than some other evergreens. Quantity Each Per 10 Per 100

Jack. Pinus Banksiana, or P. divaricata. 



There are two types of trees. One characterized by symmetrical outlines 

 representing luxuriant growth under favorable conditions. The other one pictur- 

 esque, showing irregular wind-blown, contorted outlines representing struggle with 

 wind and poor soil. The Jack Pine typifies the latter. You can use it on the sand 

 dunes and on dry hills. We can ship you carloads 6 to 12 feet high. They may be 

 artistically arranged and practically the best thing. Other Pines suitable forfait 

 spray and sand are the Japanese Black, Japanese Red, Pitch and Scotch.
