TIME SAVING SHADE 

 TREES 



"Can I have shade trees like this now?" 

 "Yes, there are hundreds to select from at Hicks 

 Nurseries. The tree in the foreground is a Maple, on the 

 right a Linden, on the left a Pin Oak." 

 It is easier than selecting furniture. 



The trees show just what they will do for you. You can select low 

 branched or high branched, tall or broad, light green or dark. 

 The Fall and Winter is the time to plant them. They are guaranteed to grow satis- 

 factorily or we give a new tree dug and loaded at the nursery. The guarantee is not so 

 important as the fact that they are grown, transplanted, root pruned, cultivated and 

 dug to make them grow beautifully for you. Thousands of trees saving 10 to 25 years 

 have been sold from this nursery. The replace record is very low. Planting these 

 large trees is now standard practice in developing a country or suburban place. 



Time saving is the greatest material achievement of the age.^ In whichever of 

 Shakespeare's seven ages of man you are, you don't want to wait for little trees to grow. 

 You live in the country to be cool in the Summer. The coolest place is in shade of a 

 group of trees. A group of three trees at $25 may give as much shade as one tree at $100. 



The smaller the place the more important that the foliage be in the right scale for 

 a beautiful setting. The purchasers of these big trees have been proud of them. You 

 will be. Your friends will admire the beauty and comfort of your country place. 



EVERYTHING FROM HICKS IS GUARANTEED
