Hicks Nurseries, Inc., Westbury, N. Y. 17 
Evergreens 
Evergreens of all kinds give a feeling of richness to the home 
landscape, especially during the winter months when other trees 
and shrubs are defoliated. Hicks Nurseries have given much time 
and study to the growing of Evergreens. Our largest department 
is devoted to them. 
The sandy soil of Long Island is well suited for the successful * 
use of Evergreens. Pines can be planted to blot out the ugly site 
of gravelly hillsides. Tall-growing Evergreens can be used in 
groups to shut out cold winds or a disagreeable view, or planted 
just for beauty. Low-growing Evergreens should be used at the 
base of tall groups or where a low eflect is desired. They are par¬ 
ticularly suited for planting at the house foundation. 
Hicks Evergreens have been carefully grown to insure good 
root-systems and we guarantee them to satisfactorily serve your 
needs.
