Hillenmeyer’s Famous 
Kentucky Blue Grass Seed 
Only the best grade seed from the best crops will give a satisfactory lawn. Hillenmeyer’s 
Kentucky Blue Grass has known vitality, high germination, and is full weight, which means 
that it actually costs less than cheap mixtures sold at a low price. Soil-preparation costs 
real money—why gamble with poor seed? 
SPECIAL PRICES FOR FALL AND SPRING

Grass Seed. 
Plant-Foods and Mulching Materials 
Bone-Meal 
A safe and effective fertilizer for all pur¬ 
poses. No danger of burning the foliage or 
doing root injury. Fine for lawns, too, 
requiring 10 pounds to 250 square feet. Use 
Bone-Meal for safety and results. 10 lbs. 
50 cts., 25 lbs. $1, 100 lbs. $3.75. 
Driconure 
The best-known organic fertilizer. Cow- 
manure and peat pulverized and dried. 
Cow-manure is the best plant-food, the 
effects lasting for almost two years. Shipped 
only in 50-pound bags. 50 lbs. $2.75, 200 lbs. 
$ 10 . 
Sulfate of Ammonia 
Used for its nitrogen. Effective for all 
plants in which a large leaf-development or 
rapid growth is desired. Tends to create an 
acid reaction on soil. “Water in” after 
applying. One pound to 50 square feet is 
recommended. Use in very weak solution on 
newly set plants. 10 lbs. 75 cts., 25 lbs. $1, 
100 lbs. $3.50. 
Sheep Manure (Pulverized) 
Can be applied as a top-dressing without 
fear of injury and gives quick results. 
Application should be made two or three 
times per year. Equally effective when 
spaded in beds. Can be applied safely in 
liquid form using one pound to 5 gallons of 
water. 10 lbs. 40 cts., 25 lbs. 75cts., 100 lbs. $3. 
Turf Builder 
This is the best all-round fertilizer we 
have ever found. It is not all chemical but 
contains 50 per cent vegetable matter. This 
latter provides a slow, lasting fertilizer while 
the chemical gives immediate action. It will 
go more than twice as far as most fertilizers. 
It contains 10 parts of nitrogen for growth, 
6 parts phosphoric acid for strength, and 4 
parts potash for vitality. Use 10 pounds per 
1000 square feet. For tree-feeding we recom¬ 
mend not to exceed 3 pounds per diameter 
inch. For broadcasting under trees use not 
over 10 to 12 pounds for the same area but 
apply a second treatment as too much at one 
time may injure your grass. 25 lbs. $2, 
50 lbs. $3.50, 100 lbs. $6, 500 lbs. $25. 
Peat Moss 
No other material is quite its equal for 
soil-conditioning. It will retain six to ten 
times its dry weight in water, and is free of 
all weed seeds. As a mulch, especially for 
roses and perennials, it has no equal. Sold in 
bales of approximately 20 bushels which will 
cover 300 square feet 1 inch deep. Spaded 
in with manure it has the ability to absorb 
enormous amounts of fertility which the 
plants readily take up. Indispensable to the 
good gardener. Bale $3.25, 5 bales $15, 
per bushel 50 cts.

How to Order 
Order blanks and envelopes are enclosed 
for your convenience. Please supply both 
mail and shipping addresses. Remittance 
with order is expected. All orders sent at 
proper planting-time. If you wish shipment 
to arrive at any special date, please so specify 
on your order blank. 
Delivery 
No Charge for Local Delivery. All 
quotations made here are f.o.b. shipping 
depot, Lexington. Please note that we agree 
to prepay transportation if you will add 10 
per cent to purchase price. Parcel Post has 
its weight and size limitations, and we 
reserve the right to ship other ways when 
Parcel Post is not convenient. We assume 
transportation costs only when order and 
prepay charges are included in remittance. 
Guarantees and 
Responsibilities 
We guarantee every item to be true to 
name, to arrive in good condition, and to be 
up to size specified. We make good all errors. 
We insist on prompt notification and are not 
responsible for more than initial cost of 
plant involved. 
Where we do the planting we assume a 
limited responsibility for the successful 
growth of the plants. There is an expectant 
mortality in all transplanting, and the 
customer is expected to assume this loss 
where he does his own planting, as the causes 
are usually beyond our control. Upon proper 
proof we agree to refurnish material that is 
not as specified, either in quality or trueness 
to variety, and beyond this our responsibility 
ceases. 
Substitutions 
Sometimes we do run out of a variety and 
take the liberty of sending another plant of 
similar characteristics. If “No Substitu¬ 
tions” are wanted, mark your order blank 
accordingly. Refund for this amount will be 
made. Where changes are made we will 
mark the labels correctly. Frequently, how¬ 
ever, we are able to improve selections when 
given permission, but we do not assume this 
liberty unless so advised. 
No Agents 
We have no agents. All selling contacts 
are by appointment only. Call or write us 
if you wish one of our men to call on you. 
Many transient salesmen represent them¬ 
selves as being our agents and adopt many 
ruses in proof of this statement. In view of 
the fact that nursery stock is so perishable, 
must be handled promptly, must be grown 
right, must be carefully propagated to insure 
trueness of variety, we have held tenaciously 
onto the same policy for 93 years— No 
Agents. You can be assured of Hillenmeyer 
stock only by direct order. 
Special Discount on 
All Orders 
In addition to the fact that we offer well- 
trained, root-pruned trees at reasonable 
prices, we make a Special Discount on 
orders of five or more trees, as follows— Five 
or more trees (any assortment allowed) may 
be purchased at 10 percent less than EACH 
price. 
Consult Us as Your 
Nurseryman 
We want our patrons to come to us with 
their problems. A mere sale does not con¬ 
clude our transaction. We are interested in 
the success of our plants, and our advice may 
be had at any time by any purchaser. Plants 
are the only things you can buy for your 
home which will not depreciate in value; 
therefore be sure they are well grown, and 
that quality is guaranteed.
