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, re¬ 
quiring 10 pounds to 250 square feet. Use 
Bone Meal for safety and results. 10 lbs., 50c; 
25 lbs., $1.00; 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 2 years. Shipped only in 
50-lb. bags. 50 lbs., $2.75; 200 lbs., $10.00. 
FREE LANDSCAPE SERVICE 
We maintain an experienced landscape serv¬ 
ice. No charge is made for local calls or those 
within a reasonable distance, nor for simple 
plans. For complete plans we request a de¬ 
posit of $5.00, which will be deducted from 
your order. 
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., 75c; 25 lbs., $1.00; 100 lbs., $3.50. 
Sheep Manure (Pulverized) 
Can be applied as a top-dressing without 
fear of injury and gives quick results. Appli¬ 
cation should be made 2 or 3 times per year. 
Equally effective when spaded in beds. Can 
be applied safely in liquid form using 1 pound 
to 5 gallons of water. 10 lbs., 40c; 25 lbs., 
75c; 100 lbs., $3.00. 
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 pro¬ 
vides a slow, lasting fertilizer while the chem¬ 
ical gives immediate action. It will go more 
than twice as far as most fertilizers. It con¬ 
tains 10 parts of nitrogen for growth, 6 parts 
phosphoric acid for strength, and 4 parts pot¬ 
ash for vitality. Use 10 pounds per 1000 
square feet. For tree-feeding we recommend 
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 in¬ 
jure your grass. 25 lbs., $2.00; 50 lbs., $3.50; 
100 lbs., $6.00; 500 lbs., $25.00. 
Peat Moss 
No other material is quite its equal for soil¬ 
conditioning. It will retain 6 to 10 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 ma¬ 
nure 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, $15.00; per bushel, 50c. 
How We Do Business 
Delivery 
No charge for local delivery. All quotations 
made here are f. o. b. shipping depot, Lexing¬ 
ton. Please note that we agree to prepay 
transportation if you will add 10 per cent to 
purchase price on all items with the exception 
of balled and burlapped stock, and shade trees. 
On balled and burlapped stock add 20 per cent 
and on shade trees 15 per cent to cover cost 
of transportation. Parcel Post has its weight 
and size limitations, and we reserve the right 
to ship other ways when Parcel Post is not con¬ 
venient. We assume transportation costs only 
when ordered 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. 
Substitutions 
Sometimes we do run out of a variety and 
take the liberty of sending another plant of 
similar characteristics. If "No Substitutions" 
ore wanted, mark your order blank accord¬ 
ingly. Refund for this amount will be made. 
Where changes are made we will mark the 
labels correctly. Frequently, however, we are 
able to improve selections when given permis¬ 
sion, 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 
to the same policy for 95 years— no agents. 
You can be assured of Hillenmeyer stock only 
by direct order.
