NURSERY SxALESMEN 
We like nursery salesmen to visit us, especially w hen 
they impart new ideas and new" thoughts, such as the 
catalog salesman hailing from Hicks Nurseries, West- 
bury. Long Island, New^ York. 
This neat looking catalog, on wdiite glaze paper, is en¬ 
titled “Winter Planting.” It was the theme of its sales 
talk. 
The Hicks Nurseries differ a little from the majority 
of other nurseries in that it makes a specialty of growing 
and transplanting large, well developed trees and plants 
so that the customer does not have to wait for results. 
It caters to that class of trade that has money to spend 
if they can get what they w"ant. 
The thought that should be passed along is the fact 
that the planting season can be very much extended. 
Comparative graphs of the Hicks Nurseries, with other 
nurseries, showing December and January t)lanting and 
buying, is a very convincing argument that the Hicks 
Nurseries has successfully extended its season of activi¬ 
ties far beyond others.
