HILLENMEYER Kentucky Grown Grant Shas 
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 
CHERRIES 
Not difficult to grow, but the trees do best in well-drained, 
rich soil. The sour varieties grow more readily than do the 
sweets, but you can have both if the location is satisfactory. 
Be sure to plant the trees as soon as they arrive. Press the soil 
firmly around the roots; tramp it hard. 
Cluster and Sub-Acid Varieties 
You may plant one of these varieties and you will be re- 
warded. This group seldom fails to bear a good crop. 
Early Richmond. This old standard Cherry has been the fa- 
vorite for years. The fruit is tart and very valuable for can- 
ning purposes. Yields nearly every year and reddens the tree 
with its wonderful crop. It succeeds everywhere Cherries will 
grow and is the earliest in season. 
Montmerency. Gradually supplanting Early Richmond because 
of its size. Except for being a little later it is practically the 
same. Not quite as acid. Good to eat from hand. The tree 
is hardy, blooming late, and frequently will make a crop 
when the sweet varieties fail. 
Sweets or “Heart” Varieties 

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 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. 
Black Tartarian 
Cherries 
APRICOT 
This group grows luxuriantly, makes a fine showing for a few years, and 
then may die if not in soil that is exactly suitable. The following varieties 
are the hardiest of the group. Best to plant two varieties of sweet Cherries 
for pollination. 
Talbert. Excellent quality. Bears early and selected for its 
hardiness. Each 3)
