MCCULLOUGH WALNUT TREES 

 FOR GOVERNMENT 



TV7 HAT has been known as "The Wal- 

 nut Grove Farm," near Troy, Ohio, 

 belonging to D. M. McCullough, must now 

 seek a new name and the owner thinks that 

 it might be called, appropriately "The 

 Liberty Farm." 



The reason for the change in name is 

 the result of a call which Lieut. J. F. Keene, 

 of the ordnance department at Wash- 

 ington, made upon Mr. McCullough, 

 when the military officer suggested that 

 the Government would like to have all 

 walnut trees of any value on the place. 

 As the results of the visit Mr. McCullough 

 arranged to sell the trees to J. W. Frye, 

 representing the Hoosier Veneer Company, 

 of Indianapolis, which has a government 

 contract. 



All of the walnut trees, except three, 

 located in the back woods of the farm, will 

 be cut down and shipped to Indianapolis, 

 while a large part of what is known as 

 the "walnut grove" will be cleared. 



At the same time W. J. Meredith, resid- 

 ing on the ridge north of Troy, arranged 

 to sell all of the walnut trees on his land. 

 Mr. Meredith has some ten trees, all of 

 which are splendid specimens. 



ROUQUETS 



"I think the pictures of the spring wild 

 flowers in American Forestry are the most 

 superb that I have ever seen. I am so de- 

 lighted with the magazine that I have sub- 

 scribed for it." 



Mrs. Anna Botsford Comstock. 



"I read, with great interest, the maga- 

 zine of the Association and certainly think 

 it is a 'dandy.' I look forward to its ar- 

 rival each month and would not miss it for 

 anything." 



Allison M. Richards. 



"The Forestry magazine is just charm- 

 ing. It daily grows better and has put on 

 such an attractive frock!" 



Miss Ida C Hinshaw. 



"American Forestry is a magazine with 

 a mission, and is doing much to preserve 

 and increase our beautiful forests, shrubs, 

 birds, national parks, etc. By increasing 

 its scope, it is made more useful, inter- 

 esting, beautiful and gains a wider circu- 

 lation. The nature lover is the one who 

 will do most to preserve the beautiful in 

 nature. The admirable series of articles 

 on trees, by Detwiler, are as interesting 

 to me as a novel, and should be published 

 in book form. I was surprised that these 

 articles could be made so intensely in- 

 teresting. The same is true of the series 

 on birds, by Allen, and these should by 

 all means be published in book form and 

 spread broadcast over the country, so as 

 to still further educate people to the im- 

 portance of bird life. I hope you keep 

 up the bird department, as this is a very 

 important one from the standpoint of for- 

 estry. Articles on shrubs, wild flowers, 

 landscape gardening, parks, rivers, moun- 

 tains, etc., will add to the usefulness of 

 the magazine. I intend to bind all my 

 back numbers, as the information will be 

 good for generations. I will recommend 



Plant an English Walnut Tree 



If you have room plant a grove of 

 them, for the cultivation of the 

 English Walnut in the north is not 

 only one of the newest, but one of 

 the most rapid growing industries 

 in the United States. The early 

 planter is bound to reap a golden 

 harvest. Write us for details. 



Look at this record of The 

 Thompson Orchard, near Roches- 

 ter, 228 trees, the largest com- 

 mercial bearing orchard in the 

 East, producing in one season, 

 260 bushels Walnuts, 32 lbs. to 

 the bushel, sold at 25c. per

 in bearing many years, with 

 occasional temperatures 20 de- 

 grees below zero.

"Northern Grown" means speci- 

 ally bred to severe changes of cli- 

 mate and low temperatures, strong, 

 vigorous, husky young trees, able 

 to offer unyielding resistance to 

 severest weather. 



They are the sort worth having.

the magazine to everyone I know that 

 loves nature." 



Dr. C. B. Groschner. 



"My subscription to American Forestry 

 I have never regretted. Its illustrations 

 are superb and the book should be an 

 inspiration to every American to take care 

 of the trees." 



Charles E. Teale. 



"I have enjoyed the American Forestry 

 magazine very much through the year, and 

 am glad to be a member of the Associa- 

 tion, as I am greatly interested in the pres- 

 ervation of trees, birds and wild flowers." 

 Clara M. Boltz. 



"American Forestry I used to think a 

 luxury, but I have decided it's a necessity 

 and find it grows more interesting all the 

 time." 



Mrs. A. Howard Hinkle. 



"I have given American Forestry my 

 careful investigation and I consider it an 

 excellent magazine and will do what I can 

 to have it placed in our High School 

 libraries." 



Miss A. F. Brown. 



"Though there are numberless demands 

 for one's bit of income these unusual times, 

 I feel that American Forestry and the 

 duse it represents are too good to pass 

 by. The magazine is beautiful, interest- 

 ing, instructive and altogether delightful." 

 F. H. Ballou.
