Time and Money Saved 
For that dry, sandy hill you know 
it is necessary to cart top soil before 
you can plant the usual kinds of 
trees and shrubs. Perhaps the soil 
or the money is not available. Try little Oaks and Pines, native to dry situations. Make an under planting of 
Bayberry, Hazelnut and Sumach. That is what nature would do. Little trees at $25.00 per thousand can be 
quickly planted and take care of themselves. 
In two or three years they will cover the ground and look cheerful and beautiful even in the severest drought 
when a planting of Forsythia, Deutzia, Silver Maple and Spruce would look yellow and unattractive. 
Trees that save 10 years guaranteed to grow satisfactorily or replaced. In S years 600 shade trees 6 to 
12 in. diameter have been sold from Hicks Nurseries and 40 replaced. The skillful care which you 
would give them would greatly reduce this 40. 
Big evergreens 10 to 25 feet high recently rootpruned and transplanted may 
be just the thing needed to form a background to your flower garden, make a 
windbreak or shut out an undesirable view. 
Evergreens 2 to 6 ft. high in large variety and best possible quality, grown wide apart, trans- 
planted more than usual ; dug with big balls of earth, clamped solidly ; and guaranteed to grow 
satisfactorily or replaced.
