Plant an English Walnut Tree 



If you have room plant 

 a grove of them, for the 

 cultivation of the Eng- 

 lish Walnut in the north 

 is not only one of the 

 newest, but one of the 

 most rapid growing in- 

 dustries in the United 

 States. The early planter 

 is bound to reap a golden 

 harvest. 



Write us for details. 



Fairport 



Look at this record of The Thompson Orchard, near Rochester, 228 trees, 

 on five acres, the largest commercial bearing orchard in the East, producing 

 in one season 260 bushels Walnuts, 32 lbs. to the bushel, sold 

 at 25c. per pound. This orchard has been in bearing many years — 

 with occasional temperatures 20 degrees below zero. 



The Isere Valley — the Taluable walnut region of France, has been practically wiped out. 

 Judge for you rself the prices we will be paying for English Walnuts in a short time. 



"Northern Grown" 

 means specially bred to 

 severe changes of climate 

 and low temperatures, 

 strong, vigorous, husky 

 young trees, able to offer 

 unyielding resistance to 

 severest weather. 



You ought to try a few trees, 

 or if you have room, a grove of 

 them. If you wish to get Far- 

 thest north grown trees, write to
