HILLENMEYER 
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 Kentucky-grown trees, produced with the utmost 
care and skill, from fruiting trees of known parentage. Like¬ 
wise, with equal pride, we point to our low prices for these 
Delicious 
high quality trees—priced low because our costs have been low¬ 
er. 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. 
We propagate our fruits under careful conditions, taking 
every precaution 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 described 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 nearby conditions as we test all varieties 
before offering them for sale. 
Summer Apples 
DUCHESS. (Often called "Oldenburg"). An 
outstanding variety following Early Trans¬ 
parent, is equally productive, and best of its 
season. Ours is the "Red" strain. Early

ular bearer and the most popular of the 
older general-purpose varieties.

No other fruit is so dependable and generally desirable as the Apple. They 
will thrive in almost any well drained soil. Its period of ripening extends 
from early July until frost and then they can be kept through the entire 
winter. For family use there is no fruit so indispensable. With moderate 
care they will pay a handsome return on your efforts and investment. We 
have kept our list of varieties up to date and you can plant any of them with 
confidence.
