HILLS €V€I2QI2€€N BOOK 
C Root pruning and transplanting are the only 
known methods of producing a tree that has 
masses of fibrous feeding roots, and without 
such roots a tree will not grow when sent to 
you. Any tree that is a weakling will not 
survive the various processes described and 
will naturally be eliminated. This accounts 
for the high quality of Hill Evergreens. This 
is the secret of Hill Evergreens’ certainty of 
growth. 
Cultivating" 
My years of experience have taught me that no evergreens can 
be shipped with any certainty that they will grow unless they have 
these fibrous feeding 
roots produced by the 
methods I have just de¬ 
scribed. 
C Unless they have an 
abundance of strong, 
fibrous feeding roots 
they cannot readily ab¬ 
sorb plant food from 
the soil. They either 
die of actual starvation 
or at best are weak, 
puny, unhealthy — a 
failure. 
C If it were not for our 
methods of transplant¬ 
ing every small tree and 
giving it its fibrous 
roots, we would un- 
break Tree doubtedly experience 
many growth failures 
such as other nurseries have. I am 
sorry to say that many nurserymen 
either do not realize the importance of 
this or are unwilling to spend the 
money necessary for the same care and 
attention as we give our stock. 
C Years ago we experimented and 
found the methods that would insure 
Evergreens that grow—would elimi¬ 
nate all failures. We discovered the 
Hill scientific method of growing evergreens, and today no other 
means are employed on our place.
