Space will not permit us to detailed instructions for the cultivation of nuts. Chestnuts, Walnuts and Hickor- 

 ies, however, will succeed if given the same treatment as apple or pear trees, and snould be planted about the 

 same distance apart, with the exception of the Dwarf English Walnut, which may be planted much closer. 

 Filberts require no other culture than occasional pruning. Almonds, should be given the same culture as the 

 peach, to which they are closely allied. We cannot supply nuts of any of the varieties offered, as we keep in 

 stock only the trees. 



Small, or 1 yr., trees of those marked with an asterisk (*) ivill be mailed at each and dozen rates.
