CHRYSANTHEMUM 
GUARANTEE 
A PERSONAL 
SERVICE 
Your orders have the personal 
attention of E. J. Heuser who (at 
left) is out after the mail which 
sometimes fills the big RED box 
chuck full. 
Mr. Heuser, one of the owners 
of "HILLTOP" is responsible for 
propagating several of the grand 
new Varieties that created such a 
lot of excitement during "CHRY¬ 
SANTHEMUM SHOW" last fall. 
On one day many enthusiastic 
flower lovers waded...yes, waded! 
...up to their ankles in mud to 
select assortments from the glow¬ 
ing beds; colors that even steady 
rains could not subdue. 
We guarantee spring shipped Chrysan¬ 
themum plants to grow and bloom the 
following fall or we will replace without 
cost. We expect that you will care for 
your plants according to the directions in 
our "Mum" Guide, which accompanies 
every order. 
This enterprise is a family affair. Heart, 
soul and head go into the selection and 
shipment of plants for our patrons. The 
personal interest taken in you and your 
desire for more lovely plants, our unique 
methods of packing for safe arrival, our 
everlasting labels that add much to the 
joy of gardening, our ability to create 
and improve; these things are factors that 
"Hill Top" customers appreciate. 
This catalog is the work of many winter 
evenings. We hope you enjoy it and we 
would like to have an order from you be¬ 
cause our flowers will add pleasure to 
your life and they're priced moderately. 
A MODERN NURSERY 
'J'H IS is in every respect a compact, 
modern Nursery with abundant grounds 
for continuous experimental work and for 
growing the plants we offer. 
Twenty-seven years ago we purchased a 
small fruit farm and became intensely in¬ 
terested in horticulture. A short time 
later we added our nursery business and 
now have more than 200 acres devoted 
exclusively to orchards and nurseries. 
We have one of the largest and the 
most modern fruit and nursery storage 
plants in Michigan (illustrated below). 
The top floor is a spacious assembling, 
sorting and shipping room, and below 
this is the frost-proof storage which pro¬ 
tects our stock and extends our season. 
We are located on an improved road 
one mile south of U. S. Highway No. 12, 
midway between Hartford and Lawrence. 
Visitors are surprised at the extent of our 
nurseries, although we do not possess nor 
need a grand show room. Our "Mums" 
on your place will put on a grand show 
—and that Is what counts with you, is it 
not? 
PROMPT SERVICE 
Order with the assurance that when we 
receive your order and payment the items 
you select will be carefully assembled, 
packed for safe arrival, and shipped at 
the proper planting time for your locality 
or on any date you specify.
