Hillenmeyer’s Planning Service 
WILL HELP YOU TO CREATE A 
COSY OUTDOOR LIVING-ROOM 
W ELL-PLANNED and planted home-grounds are 
always admired. Hundreds of Kentucky home- 
grounds, both small and large, have been successfully 
landscaped from plans made by our Service. Because of our 
knowledge, experience, and training, expensive experiments 
are avoided—you do not have a mere collection of plants 
without harmonious relation to each other. Satisfactory 
results are assured at a cost surprisingly low. 
No Charges for Consultation at the Nursery 
or for Local Plans 
Only when travel expense and considerable time are involved must 
we make a nominal charge. Surrounding towns, easy to reach, get 
this service of experience and ability at little or no cost. In any 
case, we shall be glad to hear from you, to consult with you, to help 
you in making your home a better place to live in. 
You Can Help Us Help You 
Send us the outside dimensions of your property, and locate upon 
it the ground-floor plan of your home, indicating steps, porches, coal- 
chutes, etc. Mark in feet the distance of the house from the various 
boundary lines. Locate existing walks, slopes, or terraces, and give 
us, of course, the north and south indications, so that we know where 
the sun shines on you. 
If you think certain vistas ought to be retained, or enlarged, or 
decreased, tell us about it. If there are views or things to be screened 
out, by all means let us know. If you have ideas as to garden design, 
rockery, pools, vegetable plots, or service areas, let us have those. 
(Kodak pictures or blue-prints are worth a bushel of words if direc¬ 
tions are indicated on them.) This simple information need not be 
made to scale. Do the best you can with the sketch, but add the 
measurements. 
Send along $5 with your plan as a deposit to be applied to your 
purchase when made, and, indeed, as a means of avoiding imposition 
by the merely curious. 
When to Plant 
If we are consulted early so that plans are matured, we can always 
serve you properly at the planting-time. October frosts must ripen 
the growth before we begin to dig and plant, and we keep on until 
the soil freezes. Perennials and Evergreens may be planted earlier. 
We know about the planting-time, and the matter of main import¬ 
ance is to arrange with us in sufficient time. Spring planting begins 
after the frost is out of the ground, usually about March 1. 
Liberal Payment Plan 
Because of established monthly income, many would-be buyers 
are unable to complete their purchases during the limited planting 
season of fall and spring. To these, who can make satisfactory credit 
arrangements, we will sell on a deferred-payment plan. Ask for 
particulars. 
Funds for Planting 
Realizing the necessity and advantages of planting, the United 
States Government is authorizing loans through the National Hous¬ 
ing Act for landscape work. No collateral necessary. Information 
on how to procure funds from your bank will be sent on request. 
Special Large-Purchase Prices 
When you contemplate extensive use of nursery stock, it may be 
worth your while frankly to write us the details, so that we can give 
you any price advantage possible. 
No Agents to Bother You 
We sell direct only, and our contacts are by appointment. In 
dealing directly with us you get the best of our experience, facilities 
a worthwhile guarantee, and a desire to serve you. 
A Gift for Y on 
To help you get the best results 
from your plans and plants we 
will send, absolutely free with 
every order, a copy of this booklet 
“HOW TO PLANT” 
The instructions are clear and 
cover planting, pruning, feed¬ 
ing, spraying, cultivating, and 
other details. This is a part of 
the service we give that you 
may have the greatest success 
and joy from Hillenmeyer 
stock. If other questions 
arise from time to time, 
write us—we are at your 
service.
