the finest natural location that we 
know of in the United States,

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.”
