This view shows how that same ground was (de.ircd, and 

 how it appeared in the winter time. lOverything thai ((Mild

This is a young tree, three years ohl, in the tliii-d suimner. 

 From that tree three hundred burrs were removed. Two hun- 

 dred were left to mature. This was too many, and many of 

 them droi)ped olf. The leaves were picked from ihat same tree, 

 and (his view shows it with ovi'r a hniidre(l Imns in which the 

 uuts are practically ripe. 



This is the grove as it ai)peared in 1904. This is a portion 

 uot of the fifty acres, but a portion in the flat which was grafte<l

Another jxn-tion, showing a four-year old tree, wiili nuts. 



This view shows the triM's a little oldei-. This was taken in 

 1!H(I and shows the character of the mountain side. It is cov- 

 ered with stoues; impossible to uiow around it; it has to be 

 grubbed, — but an i<leal ])lace. The stoues help to keep the uiois- 

 ture in the ground and the trees do exceptionally wcdi. 



This is another tree, a ]diotograj)li taken in lllll. It was in 

 October aud the uuts were ripening on the tree. 



The uoxf view shows part of an old hedgerow that had grown
