OVER A CENTURY OF HONEST DEALING 

HILLENMEYER Kentucky Crown Fruit 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, 
at 25c extra. 
Fall Apples 
GRIMES’ GOLDEN. The very best fall Apple. 
: A recent survey showed this to be the most 
popular Apple of any season. Fruit golden yel- 
low. Matures early and is heavy bearer. This 
variety is troubled with canker, which shortens 
the life of the tree. We offer “Double Grafted” 
Grimes’ Gelden, which is a longer lived tree, 
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 
for we believe dependability of variety is our very CTORY 
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 con- 
ditions as we test all varieties before offering them for sale. 
APPLES 
GARDEN 

No other fruit is so dependable and generally desirable as the Apple. They will thrive 
in almost any well-drained soil. Their 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.
