OVER A CENTURY OF HONEST DEALING

HILLENMEYER’S Kentucky Grown Fruit Srees 
“The First Crop More Than Pays for the Price of a Tree” 
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 whe 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 whose cominission 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 angument. 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
