Spring Surprises 
in the Garden 
It won’t be long before you will be 
looking for tbe first flowers of spring—■ 
pussy willows, snowdrops, forsythias. 
You will have some joyous minutes, 
too, when you find that the new plants 
and shrubs set in winter are full of 
life and breaking into leaf and bud— 
particularly happy will you be if these 
new plants are from Hicks Nurseries. 
A recent visitor, who has 
carefully studied our list of 
plants, told Mr. Hicks that we 
had more rare and unusual 
plants than any other firm of 
his acquaintance. So we be¬ 
gan to check up the list—here 
it is. 
New type ot Yew (Taxus cuspi- 
data Hicksii), Berberis aristata, B. 
gagnepanii and B. verruculosa 
(Evergreen Barberries), Cotoneast- 
ers in variety, Lonicera Henryi (which 
Prof. Sargent says is the best 
hardy evergreen vine), Galax aph- 
ylla, Cornus dunbari (Dunbar’s Dog¬ 
wood), Enkianthus (Japanese Bell¬ 
flower), Styrax obassia, Evodia, 
Symplocus (Turquoi se Berry), Ledum 
(Labrador Tea), Kurume Azaleas, 
Abelia —-but why go on? Wouldn’t 
it be better for you to come to the 
nursery and see these rare plants? 
Drive Out Some Day 
Over Snow-clean Roads 
All evergreen vines, shrubs and trees are 
just as beautiful in winter as in summer, 
and almost any day you can get about the 
nursery without difficulty. Long Island is 
warmer than the mainland. 
Our catalogue comes next to a visit. 
This describes all the rare plants named, 
tells about Hicks’ big shade trees and ever¬ 
greens and how they can be moved at any 
time. Plan to visit the nurseries—but get 
the catalogue anyway.

A Suggestion for You 
/"AVER in England, the home of 
greenhouses, they locate them 
either directly adjoining the residence, 
or right handy by, so their pleasures 
are always available. 
It’s a good idea, don’t you think? 
Here is an attractive little group that 
is scarce a half stone’s throw away. 
Are you interested? 
Let us send you some particulars along 
with our printed matter.
