 Foreword. 



REALIZING the tremendous in- 

 terest that is now being directed 

 by owners of country estates 

 everywhere to the culture of the Persian 

 or English Walnut, I have compiled this 

 little book with the idea of supplying 

 the instruction needed on the planting, 

 cultivation and harvesting of this most 

 delicious of all nuts. 



I have gathered the material herein 

 presented from a large number of trust- 

 worthy sources, using only such portions 

 of each as would seem to be of prime 

 importance to the intending grower. 



I am indebted to the United States 

 Department of Agriculture and to numer- 

 ous cultivators of the nut in all sections of 

 the country. 



I have aimed at accuracy and brevity 

 and hope the following pages will furnish 

 just that practical information which I 

 have felt has long been desired.
