HILLENMEYER Kevtucky Grown Fruit Trees 
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 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 
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. Hillenmeyer trees are good 
trees, honest trees, and sold direct from the nursery—not by agents 
APPLES 
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.

We propagate our fruits under careful conditions, taking every 
precaution 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.
