 We Can Do- 

 Usual Size 

 Trees 



HE fact is we also grow and plant trees, shrubs and hardy flowers of the usual 

 sizes, as deciduous trees 8 to 15 feet, evergreens 2 to 6 feet. If you are on Long 

 Island we afe the best equipped to accurately fit your conditions of soil and 

 climate. 



If you are not on Long Island there are a score of other nurseries well fitted 

 to serve yoU, especially if your wants are limited to Carolina Poplars, privet hedge, a rose gar- 

 den or fruit orchard. We think, however, that, in what we grow, we have better roots and 

 deliver more roots per tree than usual, because they are grown wide apart, frequently root- 

 pruned, and dug with forks, not spades. On one hundred acres we grow a quantity sufficient 

 for your selection. 



The object of this booklet is to prove that you need not wait half a lifetime for trees; that 

 moving big trees is a permanent success under certain conditions; that we have the experience 

 and the data and are willing to tell you the percentage of success you may expect with 

 various species and conditions. We are willing to assume the risk, if any, for an insurance 

 premium. 



There are many hundred people who have decided to have Hicks trees, big and little- 

 We have the staff to take care of a few hundred more. Will you be one of them? 



OUR SPECIALTY; first and foremost, is trees, big trees, evergreens and deciduous. It 

 lias taken thirty years to work up this department, invent and perfect over a dozen tree movers 

 for various types of trees, and grow the stock. During this time we have not said much about 

 it, but now the trees are ready for you to come and select, or choose from our price-list, which 

 gives the diameter, height and spread, as well as the quantity of each variety on hand.
