HILLENMEYER Kentucky Grown Fruit Crees 
Levington, Kentucky 

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 nigh 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 
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 
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 rcots; 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 favorite 
for years. The fruit is tart and very valuable for canning 
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. 
Montmorency. 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 wil! make a crop when 
the sweet varieties fail.
