Plant Food and Mulching Materials 
How We Do B usiness 
Bone Meal 
A safe and satisfactory fertilizer for many 
purposes. Not high in plant food but does not 
burn nor injure either roots or foliage. Rather 
slow in action but lasts a long time. Use a 
handful to each small plant or 25 to 30 pounds 
per 1000 square feet. 10 lbs., 50c; 25 lbs., 
$1.00; 100 lbs., $3.50. 
Golf Fertilizer 
(Swift's 12-6-4) 
After years of experimenting. Swift & Co. 
have prepared this special fertilizer which is 
recommended for large estates and golf 
courses. A high grade, well balanced plant 
food which has given wonderful results. Water- 
in if grass is tender, or apply just before a rain 
or run the back of a rake over the blades of 
grass after applying. Use 10 to 15 pounds to 
1000 square feet. 25 lbs., $1.50; 50 lbs., 
$2.50; 100 lbs., $4.00. 
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. 
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, $3.75; 5 bales, $17.50; per bushel, 50c. 
Sheep Manure 
One of the best organic plant foods. Can be 
used for almost all purposes at any time. Ex¬ 
cellent for top dressing and incorporating in 
the soil. Not especially high in food elements 
but well balanced and valuable for humus. 
Use 50 to 100 pounds per 1000 square feet. 
25 lbs., $1.00; 100 lbs., $3.00. 
Sulphate of Ammonia 
Contains only nitrogen which is one of the 
most important elements. Encourages rapid, 
succulent growth and where the other essential 
elements are present will give wonderful re¬ 
sults. Tends to create a slight acid condition. 
Use 10 pounds to 1000 square feet. 10 lbs., 
50c; 25 lbs., $1.00; 100 lbs., $3.50. 
Turf Builder 
(Scott's 10-6-4) 
This is especially made for feeding grass, 
though it can be used whenever a complete 
fertilizer is needed. It is not all chemical but 
contains fifty per cent vegetable matter, 
thereby giving immediate and lasting results. 
Because of its concentration will go much 
farther than most other fertilizers. If grass is 
tender, "water-in." Can also be used for tree 
feeding and for this we recommend three (3) 
pounds per diameter inch. For broadcasting 
use 10 to 20 pounds per 1000 square feet. 
25 lbs., $2.00; 50 lbs., $3.50; 100 lbs., $6.00; 
500 lbs., $25.00. 
Vigoro 
Vigoro is not just an ordinary fertilizer but 
a complete balanced, scientifically prepared 
plant food containing all eleven of the elements 
necessary for proper development. Use 25 to 
50 pounds per 1000 square feet on lawns, one 
handful to each square foot around roses, 
shrubs and evergreens. Water-in after applying. 
10 lbs., 85c; 25 lbs., $1.50; 50 lbs., $2.50; 
100 lbs., $4.00. 
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 
convenient. We assume transportation costs 
only when ordered and prepay charges are in¬ 
cluded in remittance. 
Guarantee 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" 
are 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 96 years—no agents. 
You can be assured of Hillenmeyer stock only 
by direct order.
