IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE SEEDLING 



You intend to plant timber — of cotirsc ! 



Yon will spend your $15.00 or more an acre and wait tlv.^ 

 required number of years. Then you will take stock of wlial 

 you have accomplished. 



The results and the profits will be in the lumber grown, tlie 

 watersheds covered, rr the protection secured. The extent of 

 this accomplishment (or faihire), depends on three thini>s y<ni 

 settled in the beginning : 



First, were your trees acclimated; that is, toughened and full 

 of vitality? Second, were they delivered to your planting ground 

 in a moist, growing condition at the right time? Third, were 

 they planted properly? 



You directly control only the last our of these elements. The 

 hrm that grows and ships your seedlings controls the other two. 

 Each element is a necessary link in the chain. Let one fail and 

 the planting must fail to some extent — nr ciitirclv. 



DANGER IN SOME SEEDLINGS 



We earnestly warn you against using seedlings not suited to 

 your conditions. There are seedlings on the market of which 

 few live when they are transplanted. There are trees for sale 

 that never will thrive anywhere. 



Yon have- too much at stake to risk failure of your timber 

 planting, even of your first efforts — too many years to wait. You 

 win have no chance to build a second forest if the first one does 

 not succeed. And you practically decide the future of your 

 forest planting when you select the little trees. 



Hills Seedlings are produced in the Fox River Valley, which 

 had the finest of this country's original forests because of its 

 soil and climate. Hill's Seedlings are toughened, they are full 

 of life, they are so dug and packed and shipped that they reach 

 you in perfect condition. We guarantee them, back them up with 

 our 58 years of reputation and experience.
