New England Grown

The sturdy ruggedness 
of trees and shrubs 
grown in this climate is 
well known. This is the 
windiest section of the 
United States, east of the 
Rocky Mountains. 
EVER - GREENS 
We have growing in our 
nursery the largest collec¬ 
tion varieties. And all true 
to name. We received the 
Gold Medal at the 1916 
Show of the Massachusetts 
Horticultural Society, the 
only one given in its exist¬ 
ence of nearly a Century. 
WE TRANSPLANT every 
two years. With the rugged 
climate, shallow sandy soil, 
with gravel subsoil, we de¬ 
velop strong root systems, 
healthy plants that will be 
hardy everywhere in this 
country. The conditions on 
your place should be less 
rugged than here certainly. 
So these trees and shrubs 
are bound to grow better for 
you. Send your list of wants.

FEBRUARY DOINGS 
IN YOUR GARDEN 
One of a series of Monthly 
Messages from Henry Hicks 
This is “The Month of Garden Inspi¬ 
ration.” Now most gardeners read cata¬ 
logues, make plans for the garden, and 
decide on the new plants and trees that are 
to be added to their garden treasurers. 
So, before we forget it, I want to say a 
word about 
Hicks’ Big Trees 
Fifty years ago Hicks Nurseries began 
moving big trees for some of the large 
Long Island estates; a little later for com¬ 
munities like Garden City, and for social 
organizations like the Meadow Brook Club. 
We believed that home owners generally 
would appreciate trees that gave shade the 
first summer. So we set aside a part of the 
nursery where Maples, Lindens, Oaks, 
Pines and Spruces could be brought up 
from the common little nursery tree, no 
thicker than your thumb, to a sturdy tree 
with a trunk 4 or 5 inches and more in 
diameter. 
You may think these trees are high in 
price. They are not, when you consider 
what you get. These big trees have been 
growing from ten to fifteen years—they are 
not saplings, but real trees. For a common 
little tree you will pay about $5, and then 
wait several years for it to grow big 
enough to be useful. Isn’t it wiser to pay 
a little more at first and get time-saving 
trees that are worth having? 
Here is a list of Trees

Hicks Guarantees These 
Trees To Live and Grow 
Whether your home is on Long Island, or 
as far away as the Mississippi River, 
the:e trees can be carried by truck or 
railroad, will arrive safely and will grow. 
We take all the risk. 
Our methods are entirely distinct, have 
been in actual effect for more than a gen¬ 
eration, and we know that you will get real 
happiness and satisfaction from Hicks 
time-saving trees. We dig them with big 
balls of earth so that planting can be done 
in February as well as any other month. 
Flowering Shrubs and Vines 
These are the intimate, friendly things 
about small and large grounds. If you get 
them in the ground this month, you will 
be enjoying their growth and beauty in 
mid-summer. You can get a lot of fun in 
making over the grounds—just as much as 
in rearranging the living room or library-— 
and shrubs are the things to use for this 
purpose. We shall be glad to give sug¬ 
gestions if you send us a sketch of your 
present garden. You might also visit the 
nurseries, pick out the shrubs you want, 
and take them away in your car or have 
them sent later. 
Remember, “If you love a plant you can 
make it grow any time”. 
A New Catalog Coming 
A revised edition of “Home Landscapes” is 
almost completed. Copies will be mailed 
to regular customers without further notice. 
If you have not had anything from us 
recently, just send your name and ad¬ 
dress so a copy of “Home Landscapes” 
can be forwarded—without charge of 
course.
