A GARDEN THAT SMILES 
ALL SUMMER LONG 
M IDSUMMER usually finds the garden almost destitute of color. 
unless special plans have been made to tide over this time of 
dullness. 
Years ago Hicks Nurseries adopted the motto of “Planting all the time 
to save time.” We know that you do not want to wait several months for 
things to grow, so we inaugurated 
HICKS PLANTATERIA 
where you can find perennials and annuals, roses and vines, growing in pots; 
these can be carried away to brighten with gay colors the dull spots in your 
garden. Some plants are grown in clumps that can be lifted easily and 
transplanted without danger of loss. This new Hicks plan, and the avail¬ 
able plants, is explained on page 47 of 
HOME LANDSCAPES 
A new book just revised by Mr. Henry Hicks. It covers the broad subject 
of trees, shrubs, hardy plants and fruits, in a fascinating fashion. Several 
paintings by Miss Amy Cross and Walt Huber add to the artistic value 
of this new edition. A copy will be mailed on request.
