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 
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 
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 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 
Gardens 
store or on the market at high 
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.

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 win- 
ter. 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. Arranged in order of ripening as to season.

commercial variety. July 5-10.
