New Items 
In addition to our regular lines we are continually developing 
or introducing additional novelties and specialties. For the past 
25 years we have doubtless imported the greatest assortment of 
new and rare woody plants brought into this country during 
that period, and at the same time have carried on a program 
of breeding various woody ornamentals, including Lilacs, Flow- 
ering Quinces, Flowering Fruit Trees, etc. 
In order to call your attention to some of these items that 
are now available we have “boxed in” many plants of special 
interest. 
ABBREVIATIONS

further information may be desired it will be given promptly 
on request. 
HARDINESS RATINGS 
As this list goes all over the U.S.A. and also abroad, we 
believe it a good idea to indicate hardiness. This has been done 
by giving after the name of each item a number in (__) indi- 
cating the one up to which it is considered hardy. Please under- 
stand that ratings show our honest opinion, but we disclaim all 
responsibility for their correctness. Please refer to map in center

Hill Book Co.
