Florists and Nurserymen, Be 

 Sure Your "Specimen" Ever- 

 greens are Real Specimens 



ROWING an evergreen to maturity and then referring to it as a " specimen ' ' does 

 not mal'c it one. Every etergreen wd 'sell as a specimen w a real specimen, 

 because each gets the training needed to build a perfect individual out of it. 



The production of our specimen evergreens begins with little seedlings the size of 

 a toothpick — and it continues for five, eight, ten or twelve years. As the trees develop 

 we transplant them where they will have more room. 



Hill's Everig^reens Are The Kind You Want 



You can work up a good, profitable, permanent business in Evergreens if you have 

 the right kind of stock. A trial order will convince you that we know how to grow them 

 and that our business methods and prices are right. We are growing Evergreens almost 

 exclusively and have been supplying the Wholesale Trade for over half a century. 



Our stock is very complete with all the best varieties of Spruce, Pines, Firs, Juni- 

 pers, Arbor Vitaes, Yews, Hemlocks, Boxwoods, etc., in small, medium and large sizes 

 for all purposes. 



You ought to visit our nurseries and see us growing millions of evergreens to under- 

 stand properly what patience, experience and special skill it takes to do the job right. 

 We ha\'e all three, plus a first class organization to take prompt care of your orders— 

 and our prices are right. Ask for Wholesale Catalog and Bulletin No. 5.

from any shoot that projects beyond the 

 proper limit. 



Most of the upright junipers, hem- 

 locks, arborvitses and cedars are bene- 

 fited by an annual pruning, either in 

 «arly spring or late summer, of the over- 

 luxuriant branchlets, thereby causing 

 them to thicken and otherwise vastly 

 improve in appearance. 



When the leader, or main stem, of an 

 •evergreen becomes destroyed by acci- 

 dent or otherwise, a new one may be 

 readily formed by tying up a side 

 branch in as nearly an upright position 

 as possible. Two leaders should never
