HICKS NURSERIES, Box M Westbury, L. I., New York 
P LENTY of time to get Hicks Big Ever¬ 
greens and shade trees moved and set be¬ 
fore old Winter comes down from the North¬ 
land. Trees moved by the Hicks method in 
November and December never know they had 
been disturbed. 
If you think the ground might freeze, put a 
thick layer of hay or straw where the trees are 
to stand; then you can plant even in mid-winter. 
Men and time are easier to get now than in 
spring. 
Write us about your needs—or come to the 
nursery, select the trees and have them sent by 
truck or train. 
Also get a copy of “Home Landscapes,” our 
latest catalogue featuring Hicks Big Trees and 
Shrubs. Mailed on request. 
This is the way Hicks Big Trees are 
moved long distances—to Pittsburgh, 
Detroit, Chicago—and they arrive 
in good order

—Something Different — 
in Hardy Perennials is the Butterfly Weed (As- 
clepias tuberosa). It is not new, but the gorgeous 
glowing orange flowers are not as well known as 
they should be. A group of these will delight 
you each July for years if planted in a sunny, well 
drained location. 
Five, one year old tubers for a dollar, postpaid, or 
a dozen for $2.25. 
Anyway, send for “Hardy Plants for Home Gardens** 
gladly mailed you free. Folks tell me they like it because 
“It’s such a friendly little catalogue.”
