A CENTURY OF HONEST DEALING 


HILLENMEYER Kentucky Grown Fri ‘Crees 
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. Likewise, with equal pride, 
we point to our low prices for these high quality trees—priced low be- 
cause our costs have been lower. 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 yalue 
in the stock. As we sell direct to you we do not ask fancy prices. 
We propagate our fruits under careful conditions, taking every pre- 
caution 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. 
APPLES 
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.

Early bearer and productive. A popular sort

outstanding variety following Early Trans- 
Parent, is equally productive, and best of 
its season. Ours is the ‘Red’ strain. Early 
bearing. 
EARLY TRANSPARENT. Waxy yellow; tart; 
excellent. Very early bearer; productive. 
Valuable for either home or market. Blights

a fault.

poses. Bears early and productively.

won its way because of its productiveness 
and extra high quality. Bright red; smooth. 
Plant it liberally in Kentucky.

much resembles the Rome Beauty. About 
two or three weeks earlier, with more color. 
Prolific and a regular bearer. This variety 
stands at the top of the list as to produc- 
tion at the Kentucky Experiment Station. 
RED DELICIOUS. As this extra red strain is 
such an improvement on the old Delicious 
we are propagating it entirely. Whenever 
you ask for Delicious we give you this red 
strain at no extra cost. Fruit large, uni- 
form in size, and of highest quality. Dis- 
tinguished by the five lobes on the blossom 
end. Good for home or market. 
RED STAYMAN. Dark rich red, indistinctly 
marked. Fruit large, good quality and 
keeper; early to come into bearing and 
productive. We think this the outstanding 
winter Apple for Kentucky. As the red va- 
riety is an improvement over ordinary Stay- 
man, we are propagating it entirely and 
filling all of our orders from this selected 
strain.
