EVERGREENS 



P. rigida. Pitch Pine. Nature has planted thousands of acres on Long Island with 

 Pitch Pine, but then man has burned and burned and reburned the land and trees 

 until it takes a botanist and an artist to see the beauty of them. One lady reported 

 them only as burned, scarred skeletons, sprouting out from the trunk, but she came 

 back the next week and said: "Mr. Hicks, you are right. The Pitch Pine are beau- 

 tiful where they are not burned." Are you one of the owners of hundreds of places on 

 Long Island hills and shores that should be planted this Winter with belt of these 

 Pines ? It is in Winter you realize the need, but do not have the Spring fever of 

 planting and do not know how much more economically such work can be done in 

 the Winter than in the crowded Spring season. Special prices on blocks we wish to 

 clear .

P. strobus. White Pine. The greatest contribution you can make to the beauty of 

 the landscape is to reintroduce the White Pine. It has the ability to grow and the 

 adaptability to this climate which you must mold to your uses. If you want a screen 

 10 ft. high, come and pick them out, or we will pick them out and arrange them ac- 

 cording to your ideas. We have moved them by the thousands every month in the 

 year with success. They are grown the right way and moved the right way. You 

 can forget as most of our customers have forgotten, the frequent first question: 

 "What is the right time to plant so and so?" 



To put hospitality and coziness in your home landscape use the White Pine. Use it 

 extensively to make a good, harmonious composition. No other tree so strongly em- 

 phasizes horizontal lines, and there is restfulness in the deep shadows contrast- 

 ing with the silvery sheen or the light reflected from the upper sides of the branches. 

 For economy consider the White Pine first, because it grows rapidly in height and 

 gains more than all others in breadth. Another item of economy is the 20% discount 

 on blocks we wish to clear or individuals that have been selected to sell. They are of good 

 auality and have good roots.

PSEUDOTSUGA (Picea) Douglasii. Douglas Spruce. To introduce a good tree 

 and a new tree is difficult. The Norway Spruce on Long Island is a haggard and 

 mournful tree after a few years. It was popular because it was cheap and easy to 

 transplant. People would say: "I don't like evergreens. They make me sad. 

 They remind me of a cemetery." They knew only the Norway Spruce. To substitute 

 a better tree we offered the Douglas Spruce as a live Christmas tree to be planted out 

 afterward. It is a beautiful, silvery, blue green tree, superior to its neighbor 

 in Colorado, the Blue Spruce in gracefulness, rapidity of growth and beauty. Come 

 and pick out your Christmas trees and some Christmas groups for your friends.
