A Beautiful English Walnut Tree In 



Washington's Garden, Mt. Vernon. 



The Great Washington 



probably did not know that an acre (50 trees) of 



English Walnut Trees 



will produce in a single year food equal to 

 60,000 eggs (as asserted by Dr. J. H. Kellog), 

 but he did know the great value of nut trees 

 and planted them around his home at Mt. 

 Vernon. You may not know that at Roches- 

 ter we have highly developed the 



Northern Grown English Walnut Tree 



so that it is available for planting about 

 yijur home, in your garden and orchard, with 

 the same assurance of success as a planting 

 of Apples, Pears and Peaches, without regard 

 to our cold winters. 



Read about these wonderful trees in our 1919 

 catalogue, which will be sent free on request, 

 and let us aid you in making a selection for 

 your home, in your garden and orchard, with

NATIONAL FORESTS FURNISH 

 RECREATION WORTH 

 MILLIONS 

 T AST year the National Forests provided 

 $7,500,000 worth of recreation to the peo- 

 ple of the United States, according to a 

 statement of Landscape Architect Frank 

 A. Waugh in his publication "Recreation 

 Uses on the National Forests," just issued 

 by the United States Department of Agri- 

 culture. 



The Government charges no admission 

 fee to these great recreation grounds, con- 

 taining some of the finest hunting, fishing 

 and camping places in the world ; but if 

 citizens had paid the minimum price de- 

 manded for wholesome recreation by com- 

 mercial dealers in that commodity, and 

 willingly paid by the public, the total would 

 have reached the above amount. More 

 than 3,000,000 people spent on the average 

 not less than 25 hours in the Forests, so 

 that the number of hours of recreation was 

 at least 75,000,000. A valuation of 10 cents 

 an hour equals the cost of a cheap movie. 

 But the charge to the public for hunting 

 or fishing, for visiting the wonders of the 

 National Monuments, for access to some 

 of the finest scenery in the world for auto- 

 mobiling and picnicing was nothing — a low 

 price to pay for $7,500,000 worth of recrea- 

 tion. 



The recreational value of the National 

 Forests alone is estimated by Dr. Waugh 

 as more than the whole cost of their ad- 

 ministration, and is in addition to the 

 timber and forage resources and the value 

 of watershed protection. On this basis 

 the National Forests are certainly a pay- 

 ing investment for the American people. 



WOODLOT MAY INSURE SAFE 

 WATER 

 /~i N ANY farm a woodlot, grove, or 

 windbreak is highly desirable, not only 

 to supply fuel and small timber, but for 

 its beauty and the protection it affords. 

 If kept clean and free from stock, such 

 wooded area, an orchard even, may be 

 made to serve another useful purpose, 

 that of supplying water, says Farmers' 

 Bulletin 941, "Water System for Farm 

 Homes." Forest-covered lands conserve 

 rainfall and soil moisture, and in many 

 instances afford ideal sources for farm 

 water supplies. The farmer therefore, 

 who fences off his wood lot, or part of it, 

 or forests an inclosed area and keeps it 

 clean for water-supply purposes, is fol- 

 lowing closely the wise policy of cities and 

 towns which, to insure safe, ample water 

 supplies, acquire elevated, sparsely settled- 

 watersheds, and clean, forest, and patrol 

 them.
