HICKS NURSERIES 



HEMLOCK, American. Tsuga canadensis. 



Mix in the Hemlock for their graceful foliage among the Pines, Firs, Oaks and 

 Dogwood. Hemlocks give their full beauty where sheltered from the wind by other 

 trees. Come to the nursery and see how much better designs are made by grouping 

 Laurel and Hemlock under the tall Cedars and Pines than if a large tree stands alone 

 wind-swept and unhappy. We will help you design the group economically.

JUNIPERUS. See Cedar or Juniper. 



A large genius. Those in the trade include several low varieties growing from 



1 to 5 feet high and, therefore, of high value in landscape groups where low plants 

 are wanted that will stay low. They are happy in hot sunny situations. 



The Red Cedar is also of this genius, but is listed under Cedar, page 14. 



Common. Juniperus communis. 



This is a species in abandoned pastures in New England, sometimes making 

 mats 1 foot high and 10 feet wide, others forming big saucer-shaped plants 4 feet high. 



You can use them in quantity on sandy banks, in foundation plantings on the 

 sunny side of the house or to feather down a group of Pines and Cedars. Perhaps 

 you will remember a beautiful combination of gray rock, Juniper, Pine and Birch 

 which you would like to reproduce on your home grounds. We will help you make it 

 successful, even to furnishing the rock.

Pfitzer's. Juniperus Pfiizeriana. 



Rapidly becoming popular in plantations of dwarf evergreens. Its popularity 

 is based on its merits. It is like a collection of ostrich plumes, broad, graceful and 

 feathery in a few years making a plant 4 feet high and 5 feet broad. A pretty com- 

 bination can be made with this and Kosteri and the Blue Red Cedar. They harmon- 

 ize and in color are closely related, and only vary in their form of growth. We know 

 you will be pleased with a group of them, and we know you will find it easy to arrange 

 them.
