Plant Food and Mulching Materials 
Bone Meal 
A safe end satisfactory fertilizer for many 
purposes. Not high in plant food but does not 
burn nor injure either roots or foliage. Rather 
slow in action but lasts a long time. Use a 
handful to each small plant or 25 to 30 pounds 
per 1000 square feet. 
10 lbs., 50c; 25 lbs., $1.00; 100 lbs., $3.50. 
"Chicknure" 
A Hillenmeyer combination of chicken ma¬ 
nure and peat moss, finely ground and dehy¬ 
drated. An excellent well-balanced plant food 
and soil conditioner. Do not put in direct con¬ 
tact with roots. Work in soil or use as a top 
dressing. Use 50 to 100 pounds per 1000 square 
feet. 
25 lbs., $1.00; 50 lbs., $1.75; 100 lbs., $3.00. 
Golf Fertilizer 
(Swift's 12-6-4) 
After years of experimenting. Swift & Co. 
have prepared this special fertilizer which is 
recommended for large estates and golf 
courses. A high grade, well-balanced plant 
food which has given wonderful results. Water- 
in if grass is tender, or apply just before a rain 
or run the back of a rake over the blades of 
grass after applying. Use 10 to 15 pounds to 
1000 square feet. 
25 lbs., $1.50; 50 lbs., $2.50; 100 lbs., $4.00. 
Peat Moss 
No other material is quite its equal for soil¬ 
conditioning. It will retain 6 to 10 times its 
dry weight in water, and is free of all weed 
seeds. As a mulch, especially for Roses and 
perennials, it has no equal. Sold in bales of 
approximately 20 bushels which will cover 300 
square feet 1 inch deep. Spaded in with manure 
it has the ability to absorb enormous amounts 
of fertility which the plants readily take up. 
Indispensable to the good gardener, 
imported. (Very scarce.) $5.00 per bale. 
Domestic. Peat O' Maine. $3.75 per bale; 5 for 
$17.50. 
Sheep Manure 
One of the best organic plant foods. Can be 
used for almost all purposes at any time. Ex¬ 
cellent for top dressing and incorporating in 
the soil. Not especially high in food elements 
but well balanced and valuable for humus. 
Use 50 to 100 pounds per 1000 square feet. 
25 lbs., $1.00; 50 lbs., $1.75; 100 lbs., $3.00. 
Sulphate of Ammonia 
Contains only nitrogen which is one of the 
most important elements. Encourages rapid, 
succulent growth and where the other essential 
elements are present will give wonderful re¬ 
sults. Tends to create a slight acid condition. 
Use 10 pounds to 1000 square feet. 
10 lbs., 50c; 25 lbs., $1.00; 100 lbs., $3.50. 
Turf Builder 
(Scott's 10-6-4) 
This is especially made for feeding grass, 
though it can be used whenever a complete 
fertilizer is needed. It is not all chemical but 
contains fifty per cent vegetable matter, 
thereby giving immediate and lasting results. 
Because of its concentration will go much 
farther than most other fertilizers. If grass is 
tender, "water-in." Can also be used for tree 
feeding and for this we recommend three (3) 
pounds per diameter inch. For broadcasting 
use 10 to 20 pounds per 1000 square feet. 
25 lbs., $2.00; 50 lbs., $3.50; 100 lbs., $6.00; 
500 lbs., $25.00. 
Vlgoro 
Vigoro is not just an ordinary fertilizer but 
a complete balanced, scientifically prepared 
plant food containing all eleven of the elements 
necessary for proper development. Use 25 to 
50 pounds per 1000 square feet on lawns, one 
handful to each square foot around roses, 
shrubs and evergreens. Water-in after apply¬ 
ing. 10 lbs., 85c; 25 lbs., $1.50; 50 lbs., $2.50; 
100 lbs., $4.00. 
How We Do Business 
Delivery 
No charge for local delivery in city and sub¬ 
divisions adjacent thereto. Truck delivery be¬ 
yond this can usually be arranged satisfactorily, 
depending on quantity and distance. On or¬ 
ders to be shipped, prices are f. o. b. Lexing¬ 
ton depots. 
Prepay Transportation 
Charges 
For Parcel Post and Insurance, add 10 per 
cent of your order, on all nursery stock which 
can be sent through the mails. Fertilizers are 
excepted. For express, truck or freight ship¬ 
ments, add 10 per cent on everything except 
shade trees and balled and burlapped plants. 
On shade trees, add 15 per cent. On balled 
and burlapped stock, add 20 per cent. 
When stock is ordered by Post, we reserve 
the right to send by other carriers if too large. 
Guarantee 
We guarantee every item to be true to 
name, up to grade and in good condition when 
it leaves here. As there are so many forces 
beyond our control, such as weather, soil and 
care, wnich may cause stock to die, we cannot 
be responsible Tor losses which occur. However, 
we will absolutely refund or replace, without 
charge, any stock which is not satisfactory if 
complaint is made upon arrival. 
Substitution 
When out of a variety of fruit trees or roses 
we sometimes substitute, giving you the closest 
to it. If this is not satisfactory, mark "No 
Substitutes" on your order. 
No Agents 
We have no agents. All selling contacts 
are by appointment only. Call or write us if 
you wish one of our men to call on you. 
Many transient salesmen represent them¬ 
selves as being our agents and adopt many 
ruses in proof of this statement. In view of 
the fact that nursery stock is so perishable, 
must be handled promptly, must be grown 
right, must be carefully propagated to insure 
trueness of variety, we have held tenaciously 
to the same policy for 99 years— no agents. 
You can be assured of Hillenmeyer stock only 
by direct order.
