possible effort to limit the distribution of trade prices to those we know to be entitled to
receive them. Use printed stationery.

Location We are situated in Northern Illinois, on well drained, rich, fertile soil. Located

35 miles west of Chicago on the Galena Division of the C. & N. W. Ry. as well as

the A. E. & C. interurban electric system.

Visitors Visitors are always welcome and when coming by the way of Chicago, are directed
— — — ■ — to the C. & N. W. Depot on Madison Street, from where it is an interesting ride
through the famous Fox River Valley dairy district, of one hour and thirty minutes, direct
to the nursery. For an hourly service from Chicago’s shopping district, take the A. E.
& C. electric line at Fifth Avenue and Jackson Boulevard direct to Elgin, transferring to the
Carpentersville car, getting off at stop No. 4, Dundee, from where it is but a two-minute
walk direct to the nursery.

Hill’s Standard Transplanted Evergreens

Good Hill quality Evergreens do not just happen. We put the Hill Quality into them
deliberately in numerous ways. First — Our soil and climate is ideal for Evergreen culture.
Second — We develop the strength and vitality of our stock (so necessary for successful removal
and shipment) — by actually root-pruning and transplanting at definite intervals. Third — By
our system of digging, handling and packing whereby Hill’s Evergreens can travel the longest
distance with safety. Hill’s Evergreens are always freshly dug, generously graded and carefully
packed. You get no culls, as they are consigned to the brush pile.

Hill’s Specimen Evergreens and Conifers

B & B — Balled and Burlapped

These trees are all perfect specimens, having good roots owing to frequent transplanting.
Always freshly and carefully' dug. No extra charge for Ball and Burlap. To satisfy the increas-
ing demand, a large acreage in our Nursery is devoted to the growing of Specimen Evergreens
to be handled with Ball and Burlap. This stock is all grown in wide rows with plenty of room
to develop both root and top. Each tree is staked to insure symmetrical growth and at regular
intervals throughout the growing season trimming and pruning is done by men of long experience
in this line. We keep this stock on the move also, transplanting every two years, as a root system
can be developed in no other way, and in Evergreens, roots are the basis of success.
