Fruits—The Money-Makers Are Coming Back to Southern Farms 
and Gardens 
Wisely, many are again planting fruits. Changes during the past few 
years have shown clearly that farmers and gardeners who had a few bearing 
fruit trees were making a little money—or if they did not sell the fruit, 
they certainly did not have to buy at the store or on the market at high 
prices. So, the man who "raised his own" was ahead of the game any way 
you look at it. 
For many years we have given special attention to fruit trees and small 
fruit plants. This year we offer with great pride and confidence our Ken¬ 
tucky-grown trees, produced with the utmost care and skill, from fruiting 
trees of known parentage. Likewise, with equal pride, we point to our low 
prices for these high quality trees—priced low because our costs have been 
lower. Hillenmeyer trees are good trees, honest trees, and sold direct from 
the nursery—not by agents whose commission you pay without getting a 
penny's worth of added value in the stock. As we sell direct to you we do 
not ask fancy prices. 
APPLES 
From the day when the first Transparent shows 
its color in June to way along next winter or spring 
you will "like to eat an Apple"—so why not have 
a few trees in your garden? The boys may hook a 
few, but there will be enough left for the 
We propagate our fruits under careful conditions, taking every precau¬ 
tion to have them true to name, for we believe dependability of variety is 
our very best sales argument. We guarantee every variety to be as de¬ 
scribed and hold ourselves ready to replace, without charge, any tree that 
accidentally proves untrue to name. In addition to this dependability, our 
trees are suited to near-by conditions as we test all varieties before offering 
them for sale. 
family. An Apple tree is an ornament, 
too, with its mass of pink blooms in 
spring. Surely you have a place to plant 
five to ten trees selected to give a suc¬ 
cession of fruit. There is good money 
in a commercial orchard of marketable 
kinds. We can help you select them and 
shall be glad to answer your questions.
