Planting and Shipping 
Information 
WHEN TO PLANT 
Evergreen grafts are made in the wintertime and are available for 
planting only in the spring, from the middle of April to the middle 
of May. 
HOW TO PLANT 
HILL EVERGREEN GRAFTS reach you with each individual 
tree packed with the same dirt around the roots in which the tree 
grew in the greenhouse. You rherely set the tree out in well-prepared 
soil in rows or beds, where they can be cultivated and watered. 
HOW TO ORDER 
For your convenience, we have in this booklet a number of special 
offers as well as an order sheet. Order any time. Shipment will go 
forward at the proper season. 
HOW WE SHIP 
On small quantities, that is, up to 8 or 10 grafts, shipments can 
be made by parcel post. However, on larger quantities and especially 
shipments going more than 500 miles, it is usually more economical 
to ship by express. Shipments travel at customer’s expense. Parcel 
post or express shipments can be sent C.O.D. for postage or express 
charges. 
The average weight of grafts per tree, when packed, is one-half 
pound. For example: 10 trees would cost for postage, by parcel post, 
between 15c and 75c, depending upon the distance. 
OUR GUARANTEE 
We guarantee that all trees will be as represented as to size, name 
and quality. We do not, however, guarantee the plants to grow, as 
results depend upon the care that you give them and weather con¬ 
ditions, over which we have no control.
