Hardy English Walnut Orchards 



No longer an experiment in Zero Climates 



Plant an English Walnut orchard this Spring. Make a beginning and add to it each 

 season. No bank failures, business depressions, nor trust investigations can interfere with this 

 source of pleasure and income, for its rock foundation is the development of a natural, 

 resource. Start with rugged acclimated trees, grown under severe climatic conditions, with I 

 temperature far below zero at times. Conditions ' 



that breed iron-clad vigor and vitality; and that 

 produce trees so hardy, they may be planted in 

 cold climates with the same assurance of success- 

 ful fruiting as Peach trees. 



We believe this is the only northern 

 locality, where commercial orchards of 

 English Walnuts may be seen, some of 

 them containing hundreds of trees which 

 have been bearing regularly 

 for more than twenty years* 



For the lawn or driveway, 

 English Walnut is exquisite- 

 ly beautiful with its smooth 

 light gray bark, luxuriant dark 

 green foliage, lofty, symmetrical 

 growth. A homeful tree to plant 

 about the home. Rochester parks 

 and public streets contain many 

 beautiful bearing trees, apparently 

 as hardy as the Maples and 

 Elms. At least, thriving under 

 the same conditions, and produc- 

 ing annually delirious nuts as well 

 as shade. Truly a most delightful 

 combination. 



We have unlimited faith in 

 trees bred and grown under these 

 conditions, and are sure that those who plant 

 our hardy strains of English Walnuts will be 

 well pleased. 



The picture shows a Fairport English 

 Walnut tree planted in 1907, began bearing 

 in 1911. Superior quality, extreme hardiness, 

 early bearer, safe to plant.

FIRST TIME EVER OFFERED 

 IN AMERICA

 actual 



Europe until now has alone enjoyed a 

 great nut delicacy — large, tasty Filberts. 

 The American wild Filbert has lacked 

 size, taste and food value. 

 Seven years ago, however, we imported 

 plants that bore abundantly, as far North 

 as Riga, Russia, and obtained a Euro- 

 pean nut expert to begin experiments 

 here. Success has crowned his efforts 

 and we now offer you 



Improved European Filbert 

 (Hazel) Nut Trees 



Famous nut experts C. A. Reed, of the U. S. Dept. of Agricul- 

 ture and Dr. R. T ; Morris have pronounced our plants wonder- 

 ful. On the shore of Lake Ontario with temperature last winter 

 of twenty degrees below zero, they thrive and bear abundantly. 



Beauty and Profit 



Bushes make a very ornamental shrub with deep green and 

 leathery foliage in Summer and loaded with husks of delicious nuts, which ripen in Sep- 

 tember here, Plants bear second or third year after planting, and when 10 years old stand 

 5 to 7 feet high, and should yield 20 to 25 pounds of nuts each. 



All plants offered grown on their own roots, are 2 to 4 

 feet high, and will thrive in any moderately rich, well 

 drained soil with very little cultivation. Be the first to 

 grow large Filberts — the European kind— on your grounds 

 for real pleasure or in orchard for good profit. Satisfaction 

 comes either way. Send for catalogue with full details.

COLOUR 



IN MY 



GARDEN 



By LOUISE BEEBE WILDER 



Author of "My Garden" 



^ In big and little gardens everywhere we are awaken- 

 ing to the possibilities of flower grouping with due 

 reverence to the value of colors. 



1f The author has rare taste and a practical working 

 knowledge of plants, which put her in the foremost rank 

 of garden writers of this or any other country. 



If Mrs. Wilder says, "I like to go along as much as 

 possible with Nature, letting her give me a hint or a lift 

 wherever possible." She has used this and her inspira- 

 tions together and suited them to our climatic require- 

 ments — while many of the harmonious results have been 

 beautifully painted and used to illustrate the book. 



^f A choice gift-book for the most discriminating flower-lovers.
