We have every facility for grow¬ 
ing evergreens from seed —plus 
the finest natural location that we 
know of in the United States, 
plus over 50 years’ practical knowl- 
__ edge of how to do it best. We 
are now growing millions of them 
for nurserymen’s and dealers’ trade, lining 
out, etc., and you will find 
Hill’s Evergreens 
the best investment you can make—if you 
are looking toward permanent results and 
satisfied customers, as well as the first cost 
of the trees. We go to a great deal of 
trouble and expense gathering and sowing 
our seed, but we think it’s worth it all to 
know that the little trees are true to name, 
and healthy and vigorous. Our customers, 
too, have found that it’s worth the cost to 
know that they’re getting reliable trees 
when they buy here. If you want the best 
evergreens you can get for your 
trade let us tell you more about 
those of “Hill Quality.”

TO THE AMERICAN NURSERY AND FLORIST TRADE 
Gentlemen:—On account of the war, we have not printed 
this season any catalogue, although we have the best lot of 
Nursery and Florists’ stocks we have had in years. 
We have not printed a catalogue because its preparation 
has been stopped by the uncertainty in which we have been 
during the months of August and September. 
We do not speak about the uncertainty of the results of 
the defensive war whicn from the first day we have believ¬ 
ed would turn in a victory for France and her allies, but of 
the uncertainty about the means of transport of our goods. 
Now we are sure that the French railways touching the 
seaports in connection with the U. S. A., are able to do their 
work which is commenced satisfactorily since the end of 
October via Le Havre and Bordeaux. 
In these conditions, we put our service at the disposition 
of our American colleagues for the following articles: 
ROSES. Several millions, deliverable in the best sorts, 
old and new in splendid choice. Our collection is one of the 
greatest in the world. 
ROSE STOCKS. Enormous lots of Manetti, Multiflora de 
la Grifferaie, Multiflora Polyantha, Dog Rose, etc., etc. 
FRUIT TREE STOCKS. Enormous lots of Apple, Ma- 
lialeb Cherry, Fear, Myrobalan Plum. Quince etc., etc. 
YOUNG DECIDUOUS and EVERGREEN ORNAMEN¬ 
TAL TREES AND SHRUBS. Very large assortment and 
splendid choice. 
YOUNG CONIFERS FROM OUTDOOR and in pots. Very 
good. 
YOUNG FOREST STOCKS (Conifers and others. Splen¬ 
did. 
NEW, RARE, or NOTICEABLE TREES and SHRUBS. 
HARDY HERBACEOUS PLANTS. New, Rare, or No¬ 
ticeable; also the best in general varieties. Big assortment 
of Hardy Asters (Michaelmas Daisies), Peonies, Phloxes, etc. 
If you have in hand our Catalogue dated Autumn 1913, 
Spring, 1914, please refer to it, taking account that our new 
prices are about the same, except those for some Fruit-tree 
stocks, Roses and Rose stocks, which have been lowered, 
some of them considerably. 
We shall be pleased to quote at once on any inquiry, 
and the best care will be bestowed on all orders we may 
receive 
Our nurseries are under the control of the Paris Phy- 
topathological station. American customers are requested 
to send with their orders the number of their import per¬ 
mit. (A permit may be obtained without difficulty from 
the Department of Agriculture, at Washington.) 
New customers will assist in making shipment by send¬ 
ing French or English references. 
Awaiting the favor of hearing from you in the course 
of the season, and we trust quite early, we remain, gentle¬ 
men, Yours faithfully, E. TURBAT & CO.
