Greetings to our friends 
To our Gardening Friends: 
In presenting our new Garden Book for 1938 we wish to 
express thanks and appreciation to our customers for their 
patronage. We are constantly trying to improve our service 
and the quality of our plants and are always on the lookout 
for new and better plants for your garden. We welcome your 
complaints if all of your dealings with us are not entirely 
satisfactory. 
This year we are offering many new and novel items that 
we have selected from many that we have on trial. These 
plants have been gathered from every corner of the world and 
we are sure you will be interested in them. 
You will notice that we say our Chrysanthemums are 
“POPULARITY TESTED.” Let me explain. Every year 
thousands of visitors come to see our chrysanthemum display 
gardens (pictured on page 8). Many of these people order 
plants and when the season is over we check up to see which 
varieties are the most popular. Only the most popular varie¬ 
ties, those selected by thousands of people from every walk 
of life are called “Popularity tested.” That’s why we know 
you’ll like them. 
Last but not least, this book will save you money. The 
good growing season last year has enabled us to make sub¬ 
stantial reductions in the prices of our plants. 
Yours for finer gardens, 
luqe *te Ueu&eA, 
HILL TOP ORCHARDS AND NURSERIES 
HARTFORD, MICH.
