Dear Friends: 
E VER since 1855—80 years ago, the name 
“Hill” has stood for high quality Evergreens. 
By specializing in one thing only, Evergreens, 
we have perfected our growing methods, which makes 
it possible to offer you the world’s finest Evergreens at 
a real saving. You will find Hill customers in every 
state. I give you my personal assurance that your 
order will receive expert attention and that we will 
gratefully appreciate the opportunity of serving you. 
OUR GUARANTEE—We guarantee that all 
goods purchased from us will be as repre¬ 
sented, true to name, and prove entirely 
satisfactory upon arrival. We grow our 
Evergreens by the best known methods. We 
transplant our trees and root prune them at 
proper intervals to develop a fibrous root 
system. Our trees are dug and handled by 
men of long experience. Many conditions 
over which we have no control govern re¬ 
sults that you may have with Evergreens, 
such as watering, planting site, proper plant¬ 
ing, soil conditions, injury, or severe adverse 
weather conditions. There is, therefore, no 
guarantee on the growth of the trees. 
ADJUSTMENT—Any errors or omissions in 
the filling of the orders will be satisfactorily 
adjusted if we are notified promptly upon 
receipt of shipment.
