AMERICAN FORESTRY 



The Black Walnut is one of 

 America's most useful trees. 



American Forestry (December, 1920, issue) 



m* 



We are headquarters 



for Black Walnut and 



other nut trees 



Black Walnut is one of the most valuable 

 nut trees grown, its timber being highly 

 piized for furniture, interior furnishings, au- 

 tomobiles, sewing machines, firearms, and rne 

 like. The wood is a rich dark brown, very 

 durable, hard, strong and splits easily; takes 

 a fine polish. In addition to its importance as 

 a timber tree, however, the round rough nuts 

 furnish rich, meaty kernels which sell at 

 high prices. 



Black Walnuts 



Make That Poor Land Pay 



Absolutely hardy, growing and bearing un- 

 der adverse conditions, the American BlacK 

 Walnut surpasses all other varieties of nuts 

 in point of hardiness. From Canada to the 

 Gulf of Mexico, the Black Walnut will thrive 

 and after the first few years requires little 

 attention, making a rapid, sturdy growth and 

 soon producing an addition to the owner's 

 income without operating expense. 



For roadside planting or for reforesting large 

 areas, we have extensive plantings of these 

 valuable trees to offer at the following at- 

 tractive prices: 3-4 ft., 75c each, $8 per dozen, 

 $6C per hundred; 6-8 ft., $1.25 each, $12 per 

 dozen, $90 per hundred ; extra large trees, 

 810 ft., $3 each, $30 per dozen, $200 per hundred.

GEORGIA WOMEN TO STUDY 

 FORESTRY 



'T'HE Woman's Club, of Fitzgerald, 

 Georgia, has earnestly taken up the 

 subject of forestry, and intends, through 

 study along practical lines to fully acquaint 

 itself with the situation so that it may be 

 of real assistance in forwarding the move- 

 ment for the preservation and renewal of 

 our forests. 



At a recent meeting, strong resolutions 

 were passed iby the Club urging the im- 

 portance of conservation, and stressing the 

 "planting of black walnut trees for their 

 beauty and utility, and such other trees 

 as are approved by the American Forestry 

 Association of Washington, D. C."

 * mission at a meeting held February

ELECTRICITY AND TREES 



"|T is desired to make clear, in connection 

 * with the note on page 107 of the Feb- 

 ruary issue of American Forestry, that 

 electric wires do not kill trees unless a 

 strong current is brought into direct con- 

 tact with the main stem, though a branch 

 may be killed either by the escape of cur- 

 rent through a worn insulation when the 

 wood is wet, or by burning.
