October Doings 
In Your Garden 
A Personal Message from 
Henry Hicks 
O ctober is just as good a 
month for garden, work as April, 
or May, or any of the other months. 
You can move evergreens that have 
outgrown their place; you can change 
the shrubs around the house or along 
the border. 
But best of all, you can plant new 
things in the garden. You can im¬ 
prove the grounds with new ever¬ 
greens, neiv shrubs, new cover plants, 
just as you improve your home with 
new furniture, pictures and rugs. 
You and your gardener will have 
more time in October than in spring. 
The garden work is not so pressing 
now, and your dreams of a remodeled 
garden can be made realities with 
little labor and expense, but with the 
assurance of complete success. Any 
plant will live and grow at any time 
if it is properly planted. We can 
tell you bow to do it. Write us. 
We have Big and Little 
Evergreens for October 
D UG with a ball of earth a foot or 
more in diameter—guaranteed to 
grow, too, at our risk and not yours. 
The guarantee isn't necessary, but we 
make it for your peace of mind. 
Here is a list of evergreens that will 
contrast well with winter’s bare trees, 
and make your grounds cheery from 
November to May: 
Concolor Fir —3 ft. high at $4 each; 4 ft. 
high at $5 each. 
Rctinisporas —In variety and varying 
sizes, from $2.50 to $8 each. 
Oriental Spruce —3 ft. $6 each; 4 ft. $8 
each; 5 ft. $10 each; larger sizes if you 
want them. 
White Pine —2 ft. $1 each; 3 ft. $2 each; 
4 ft. $3 each; 7 ft. $10 each. And we 
have others up to 26 ft. high. 
If you want a truckload or a car¬ 
load of evergreens we will give you 
prices that are away below the actual 
value of the trees. 
BRIGHTEN YOUR GROUNDS 
WITH FLOWERING SHRUBS 
\ r OU will be surprised to see how 
easily you can transplant shrubs 
in October. Azaleas, Calycanthus, 
Chinese Quince Berry, Deutzias, For- 
sythias, Holly, and a host of other 
things are ready to move when you 
say the word. 
For ground cover under evergreens 
and similar places use Pachysandra, 
or Pachystima: nothing better, and 
October is a good time to set them. 
Remember— Hicks guarantees every 
plant and tree to groiv, and will give 
you another if for any reason the 
plant or tree fails to grow. 
There’s Real Fun in 
Visiting the Nursery 
Y OU can roam around as you 
please. You can see how plants 
look in the fall. If you want to cut 
a branch or flower to study, cut it. 
If you motor you will find good 
roads from all directions. If you 
come by train, let us know and a car 
will meet you. 
Send for our special 1922 Fall Stock 
List. A pocket edition that will be 
useful when you plan your October 
planting.
