suitable, but inasmuch as "English Wal- 

 nut" is better known here, we shall use 

 that name in this treatise. 



As a material for the manufacture of 

 gunstocks and furniture the timber of 

 the nut was long in great demand through- 

 out Europe and high prices were paid for 

 it. Early in the last century as much as 

 $3,000 was paid for a single large tree for 

 the making of gunstocks. 



Everything depends upon the planting 

 and cultivation of English Walnuts as 



. indeed it does of all other 



ng and f mits f rom w j^ ich the yery best 



Cultivation results are desired. The follow- 

 ing general rules should be thoroughly 

 mastered. 



PLANT ENGLISH WALNUT TREES: 



On any well-drained land where the 

 sub-soil moisture is not more than 

 ten or twelve feet from the surface. 



Wherever Oaks, Black Walnuts or 

 other tap-root nut trees will grow. 

 Forty to sixty feet apart.
