Some Changes You Can 
Make in September 
yisitors who come to the nur¬ 
series in September—and the 
other eleven months, too—are 
surprised at the great variety of 
new and rare evergreens seen here. 
And then they ask “Will the trees 
live if they are moved now?” 
Of course they will. Ask Mr. 
Wickey, who for more than 40 
years has directed the tree-moving 
operations here; he says a tree can 
be moved any time of year if you 
know how—and he knows how — 
so these splendid evergreens can 
be moved safely this month. 
Hicks Evergreens have been 
root-pruned, have big balls of 
earth, and are tightly wrapped in 
burlap and canvas. They’ll grow, 
we guarantee. We have some 
wonderful specimens of Nikko Fir, 
Blue Japanese Cypress, Meyer’s 
Juniper, Mugho Pine, Japanese 
Yew, with the more familiar ever¬ 
greens that will make your place 
fairly “shine” during the winter. 
Change Shrubs, Too 
September is a good time to 
move shrubs. Get them with a 
ball of earth, keep them moist for 
a few days and they will never 
know they have been moved. 
American Holly and Mountain 
Laurel, Japanese Spurge and 
Mountain Lover, Azaleas and 
Dogwoods, Beach Plum and 
Snowberry, Constantinople Hazel 
and Chinese Witch-hazel, Father 
Hugo’s Rose and Tur(|uoise Berry 
—why, there is a host of lovely 
things that you can enjoy next 
summer if you get them this fall. 
They will grow, too, for we dig 
them as carefully as we dig ever¬ 
greens and shade trees. 
I Want to Send You 
Our Latest Catalogue 
Come to the nursery and see 
these unusual plants. Take some 
away in your car and plant them 
yourself, for I believe that if you 
love a plant you can make it 
grow any time—and I have told 
why and how in this new edition 
of “Home Landscapes.” Several 
paintings by Miss Amy Cross and 
Walt Huber are reproduced: a 
number of pictures of plants and 
flowers in color, with many 
photographs of landscapes are 
also shown. I think you will enjoy 
the book and be proud to own a 
copy—I shall be glad to send it if 
you write me.
