Hardy Nut Trees 



The majority of nut-bearing trees make handsome and at- 

 tractive specimens, as well as providing an enjoyable and nu- 

 tritious food. In the planting of this class of tree, it is advis- 

 able to plant two or more of a sort, thus providing for cross- 

 fertilization, which is essential in the production of good crops. 

 These types are hardy in New England. Begin bearing nuts 

 as early as the third or fourth year. 



These are all grafted trees unless otherwise noted. 



English Walnuts 



WILTZ-MAYETTE. Perhaps the best variety for all purposes. It is 

 a reliable bearer. The English Walnut requires a lime soil. First 

 crop may be expected in three to four years.

Black Walnuts 



The new grafted varieties bear their first nuts sometimes in 

 the second year after planting, and commonly in the third to fifth 

 year if the trees are properly fertilized. 



THOMAS. A really rapid-growing tree, hardy and easy to grow. 

 The meat is attractive and tasty, but does not crack as easily as 

 the Stabler. 



STABLER. The thinnest shell. Meat falls out easily in halves or 

 one piece. Spreading specimen with unusually ornamental form 

 and foliage.

Blight-Resistant Chestnuts

 We have several thousand transplanted seedlings of the Japan- 

 ese Chestnut IV2 to 3 ft. tall, grown from native trees that have 

 proven blight resistant. The parents of these trees are heavy 

 bearers and produce a good crop of nuts every year. Will furnish 

 these at 10 for $4.00, 100 for $30.00, 1000 for $275.00.

Hardy Pecans 



The quality of these nuts in these varieties is in every way 

 the equal of commercial Pecans. They will bear in 3 to 5 years. 

 BUSSERON and BUTTERICK are the oldest and best varieties. The 

 differences are slight. It is advisable to plant one of each kind 

 so that they will cross fertilize.

Hybrid Hickories 



BURLINGTON (also called Maquardt). Resembles the pecan as to 

 the nut. Delicious flavor. The tree is very easily grown, a rapid 

 grower, and extremely hardy. Does well in Minnesota. Very satis- 

 factory tree. Reliable early grower. 



MCCALLISTER. Unique tree. Nearly as thin-shelled as any pecan, 

 but its flavor is that of the delicious wild Shellbark Hickory. The 

 nut is over 2 inches in length and is larger than any southern pa- 

 can. Foliage resembling the pecan — a beautiful tree. Irregular 

 bearer.

Care of Nut Trees 



Nut trees have large root-systems. They must be pruned off. 

 The tops, pruned to make up for the loss of roots. The first two 

 years mulch well with hay or straw and water if drought comes.
