“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 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 looked at it. 
For many years we have given special attention to truit trees and small 
fruit plants. This year we offer with great pride and confidence our 
tucky-grown trees, produced with the utmost care and skill, from fruiting trees 
trees are good trees, 
of known parentage. Hillenmeyer

honest trees, and 
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 they can 
be kept through the entire winter. For family use there is no other 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.

it will supplant Transparent as a commer- 
cial variety. July 5-10.
