ing distances are 40 feet apart for black walnuts, 30 feet for chestnuts, 

 and 15 feet for filberts. Filberts can be grown wherever peaches are 

 hardy. The black walnut may be used as a shade tree, especially in 

 the milder parts of the region. 



The varieties recommended for medium-sized gardens in the differ- 

 ent districts are listed in table 1. Some of the varieties suggested are 

 different from those grown in commercial plantings. Two or more 

 varieties of sweet cherries, some plums, pears, apples, blueberries, 

 filberts, and Chinese chestnuts must be planted for cross-pollination 

 and adequate fruit set.
