A Rare Visitor from 
New Zealand 
Slowly, but surely, the nurseries of this 
country are developing into storage houses 
of the plant treasures of the world ! In this 
process we are glad to lend a helping hand. 
Every year sees us experiment with hitherto 
untried hardy plants. And we are glad to 
say we discovered another little Jewel in 
Helichrysum Angustifolium 
a perennial of the Everlasting or Strawflower 
family that promises to become quite an 
acquisition for the Rockery. The downy 
gray foliage (in color not unlike that of 
Dusty Miller among the biennials) furnishes 
a most pleasing contrast with other plants. 
The tiny, double, pure white flowers will 
keep like any other strawflower, if properly 
dried or cured.

HICKS 
HEMLOCK 
HEDGE 
SO Years OJd 
This Hemlock Hedge surrounded the garden of a tree lover. When 
the property was offered for sale we moved the hedge to our nursery 
in summer. It is 6oo feet long, and can be used to make a garden 
theatre, to shut off the street, to enclose an entrance court, screen the 
service or laundry yard, garage, or vegetable garden. Hemlock thrives 
from Maine to Wisconsin, and south to the mountains of North Carolina. 
This hedge can be loaded on cars, shipped to your place, and we 
guarantee it to grow satisfactorily. If trees or shrubs are in the way of 
planting, they can be moved away with big balls of earth. 
You can get from Hicks Nurser- 
ies the rock and crevice plants that 
soften the earth, Japanese Yew for 
the pyramid in the foreground, 
flowering plants, big evergreens and 
shade trees. 
You will enjoy reading the new 
edition of Home Landscapes, which 
is illustrated with paintings and color 
photographs of suburban homes.

Hemlock Hedge to make the 
setting for your flowers and 
garden parties 
Y OUR garden needs a Hemlock Hedge 
as a background to give a finished, 
mellow, quiet air. The soft velvety 
texture of clipped Hemlock closely re- 
produces the Yew of England, which un- 
fortunately is not hardy. 
An Apology with Correction of Error 
Through a deplorable oversight and in the pressure of getting 
ready the greatest March issue of GARDEN MAGAZINE ever 
i published, a mistake crept into the Fenton’s Dahlia Farm adver- 
tisement on page 85 of March GARDEN MAGAZINE. The 
item in the center portion of the advertisement should read “85 
seeds selected from 50 crosses— $ 1 .00” instead of 25 seeds only, 
as it appeared. Should this revised quantity encourage addi- 
tional readers to order the seeds, please address: Fenton’s 
Dahlia Farm, 771 Buena Vista Avenue, San Francisco, Cal.
