The English Walnut 

 at its Best. 



A SMOOTH, soft-shelled nut. 

 Meat full, with sweet, hickory-nut 

 flavor. 



Nuts fall clean and free from outside 

 shuck. 



Frosts harvest the nuts in October. 



They are self-pruning. 



Require no care after arrival at bearing age. 



An alkali sap keeps scales and pests from 

 the trees. 



Blossoms immune from late frosts, as they 

 start late. 



Pistillate and Staminate blossoms mature 

 at same time in the best varieties, in- 

 suring perfect fertilization and pro- 

 ductivity. 



Bears more regularly than other nut trees. 



Bears heavier crops the older it be- 

 comes, unlike other fruit trees the size 

 and quality of whose fruit degenerates 

 with age.
