OVER A CENTURY OF HONEST DEALING

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. Hillen- 
meyer 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. !n addition to this dependability, our 
trees are suited to nearby conditions as we test all varieties 
before offering them for sale. 
Gad 
Not difficult to grow, but the trees do best im 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 any of these varieties and you will be rewarded. This group 
seldom fails to bear a good crop. 
EARLY RICHMOND. This old standard Cherry has been the favorite for years. 
The fruit, borne in clusters, is tart and very valuable for canning, pies, etc. 
Yields nearly every yecr and reddens the tree with its wonderful crop. It 
succeeds wherever Cherries will grow and is one of the earliest. 
MONTMORENCY. Gradually supplanting Early Richmond because of its size. 
Except for being a little larger and 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 
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. You should plant two varieties of sweet Cherries for 
satisfactory pollination. 
BLACK TARTARIAN. Perhaps the most popular of the sweet varieties. 
is large, black, and heart-shaped. High quality. 
suitable soil.

Montmorency 
MAY DUKE. Somewhat more acid than the other sweet Cherries, but of 
excellent quality and good to eat from the tree. Tree vigorous, medium 
size and productive. 
NAPOLEON (Royal Ann). Larae; yellow, tinged with red; firm. The most 
popular and best light colored Cherry for this section.
