Have a 
Wild Flower Sanctuary 
on Your Place 
He who “gives Sanctuary” in congenial locations to colonies of 
those beautiful wild flowers and ferns that are threatened with 
extinction, gives pleasure to himself and to his friends, adds to the 
beauty of his premises and performs an agreeable duty to his 
country and to posterity. 
You, yourself—if you have on your place a wooded slope, or 
ravine, or even a shady nook under trees, or on the north side of 
the house,—can do your part. If you have a boggy meadow, a 
brook or a pool so much the better; you can protect more varieties. 
The expenditure involved is surprisingly moderate .when compared 
with that of ordinary gardening. In a “Sanctuary” there is little 
construction work and little soil preparation, no manuring or culti¬ 
vating, no spraying or training. Once properly established in a 
suitable locality, the plants will care for themselves and increase and 
multiply as the seasons come and go. 
We have prepared a “Sanctuary” circular, containing a list of some 
of the choicer shrubs, ferns and wild flowers that are either very 
rare naturally or have become so through the assaults of their 
enemies and need the protection that can be given only on a private 
place. 
The plants are so grouped that a selection can be made to fit almost 
any locality and any purse. Prices are also given. 
This circular and our unusual catalogue will be mailed free. Send 
for your copy, addressing either office given below and kindly 
mention HOUSE AND GARDEN.

HORSFORD’S HARDY LILIES 
and Cold Weather Plants 
When you get nursery stock 
from Vermont you can be sure 
that it is hardy. Our Hardy 
Plants, Wild Flowers, Lilies, 
Orchids, Hardy Ferns, Vines, 
Shrubs, and Trees which we 
grow here have always given 
satisfaction when properly set. 
Trees and Shrubs that we have 
found tender in severe winters 
have been discarded from our 
lists. Ask for our New Annual 
before making up your list of 
wants.

Now for “A Think of It, Have 
It” Not a “Might Have Been” 
Garden 
It’s useless to say “I must wait a year before 
planting.” If you say it is too late to plant, Mr. 
Hicks will show you that it is not; that over 60 
per cent of your wants can be shipped easily and 
that over 80 per cent can be delivered by motor-truck. 
This nursery shows how the fun of gardening need 
not stop. 
If you come to the nursery you will be delighted with 
the big Oaks, Lindens, Hemlocks, Pines, Firs, 15 to 25 
years old, labeled “Moved in June, 1918.” We have 
shrubs and flowering trees with big balls of earth, and 
in tubs; Climbing Roses and hardy plants in pots. 
Your garden will need a background—and Hick 9 
Nursery can supply evergreen hedges 6 to 12 feet high, 
or deciduous shrubs and trees of the same size. 
Send for “Home Landscapes” 
A new catalogue which is helpful in a new way. It 
tells how to “plant where plants will enjoy themselves.” 
For the seashore there are Beach Plums, Pitch and 
Japanese Black Pines. 
For dry, sandy soil there are Oaks, 10 feet wide, that 
you can have for a cool grove or shady avenue. 
There are new plants from China (introduced by 
Arnold Arboretum) which you can have this summer. 
Home Landscapes has 16 pages in color, showing 
some beautiful gardens. A copy of this new book will 
be sent on request.
