Dreer’s 
Garden Book 
for 1924 
is much more than a mere catalogue. 
It is really the most comprehensive 
guide to better gardens of all kinds. 
E.\perienced gardeners have helped 
us make it truly practical—the kind 
of book you’ll be loath to let, go, 
until you get the next edition. 
Freely illustrated with hundreds 
of pictures (some in natural colors), 
it is an index to all that is good in 
Seeds, Bulbs and Plants. It fea¬ 
tures the great Dreer specialties of 
Roses, Dahlias, Hardy Perennials, 
etc. 
The 1924 Edition of this dis¬ 
tinctly worth-while Garden 
Book will be mailed early in 
January to all customers of 
record. If not on our books, we 
shall be delighted to receive your 
application right now. Write 
today—lest you forget”—and 
mention this publication.

You Will Want 
These New Gladioli 
G ladiolus lovers the world over 
look to me, as the Originator of 
The Ruffled Gladiolus and many 
others of the most beautiful varieties, 
for the newest and loveliest of these 
glorious flowers. This year I am offer¬ 
ing new varieties of the various types 
— ruffled, plain-petaled, primulinus 
hybrids and lacinated (my latest), as 
representative of the remarkable 
quality of Kunderd Gladioli. A col¬ 
lection selected from my new catalog 
will make your gladiolus garden the 
delight of your neighborhood. I am 
sure you will be more than pleased 
with any gladioli you purchase from 
me. Write for my 
New Gladiolus Catalog for 1924 
with extensive Cultural Directions 
and see how easy it is to grow gladioli 
successfully and have a succession of these 
wonderful blooms all summer long. No 
flower has such a long blooming season or 
is so lovely in the garden and for cut flower 
purposes as the gladiolus. To be sure of 
getting the varieties you like best, don’t de¬ 
lay sending for my free catalog. Place your

At the End of the Year 
the Gardener Checks Up 
This is the month to practice “looking backward” over 
the season’s successes in the garden. Undoubtedly some 
plants were so satisfactory that you will want to add to your 
present collection. 
Maybe some were so disappointing that you will need to 
replace them with new and more valuable plants from Hicks 
Nurseries—^for instance, Pachysandra and Pachistima for 
ground covers; Cotoneaster, for roadside banks; Siberian 
Maple, that turns to brilliant crimson in autumn; Japanese 
Pussy Willow, blooming in January and February. These are 
only a hint of the extra good plants that are available at Hicks. 
Best Time of the Year 
to Move Big Trees 
Trees sleep in winter, and can readily be moved long distances. 
When they wake up in spring the roots have taken hold of the soil, 
and the top leaps into foliage when the warm sun plays on the 
branches. 
Hicks Big Shade Trees and Evergreens may be just what are 
needed to give the real finish to your place. 
Our men are trained in this particular work. Come to the nursery 
this month, select the trees, and have them moved at once. You can 
have shade next summer if you start this month or next. Trees from 
our nursery are guaranteed.
