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

 and Hickories, however, will succeed if given the same treatment as apple or pear trees, and should be 

 planted about the same distance apart, with the exception of the Dwarf Enghsh 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 varie- 

 ties offered, as we keep in stock only the trees. 



Small trees, of those varieties marked with an asterisk {*) will he mailed for 3c. each additional. 



ALMONDS. 



t'Hardsliell.— A fine, hardy variety, withalarge 

 plump kernel 

 and with large, 

 showy, orna- 

 mental b 1 o s - 

 soms. The hull 

 cracks when the 

 fruit ripens per- 

 mitting the nut 

 to drop out. 

 Trees at the 

 Monmouth Nur- 

 8 e r y produce 



abundantly. 1st c, ea., 25c; doz., $2.50 ; 100, $15.00. 

 Small, ea., 15c; doz., $l.oU; lOO, $10 00 

 *Soft or I'apersliell.— This is what is known 

 as the Ladies' Al- 

 mond orLady Fin- 

 ger of the shops; 

 and although pre- 

 ferable to the 

 hardshell it is not 

 so hardy. Kernel 

 sweet and rich. 

 Prices same as for 

 hardshell. Istc, 

 ea., 25c ; doz., 

 $2.50; 100, $15.00. 

 Small, ea., 15c; doz., $1.50; 100, $10.00. 



*R.U88ian.— In this we have what has so long 

 been wanted, namely, an almond perfectly hardy at 

 the North. Unlike other almonds which descend 

 from the Peach this one is an offspring of the Russian 

 Apricot, inheriting the hardihood of its parents. The 

 tree is of good growth and prolific, the nuts large 

 with plump, sweei , rich meat. 1st c, ea., 50c; doz., 

 $5.00. Small, ea., 30c; doz., $3.00. 



CHESTNUTS. 



^Spamsli or iUaroou.— A handsome, round- 



headed,state - 

 ly tree of rap- 

 id growth, 

 that yiel ds 

 abundantly of 

 very large 

 nuts; hence 

 valuable both 

 for ornament 

 and fruit. A 

 gentleman of 

 our acquaint- 

 ance realizes 

 a profit of $50 

 a year on an 

 average from 

 the sale of nuts of two trees of this variety. 4 to 

 5 ft., ea., S5c; doz., $3.50. 3 to 4 ft., ea., 25c; doz.,$2.50; 

 100, $15.00. 2 to 3 ft., ea., 15c; doz., $1.50; 100. $10.00. 

 Small, ea., 10c; doz., $1.00; 100, $7.00. 



Hatlaa%vay.— A purely native of great merit. 

 It origiaated with Mr. B Hathaway of Michigan, the 

 originator of the Bid well strawberry and other new 

 varieties of fruit. It is very large for its class and 

 possesses to an unusual degree the sweetness and 

 fine quality of the native chestnut. The hope of ob- 

 taining large and fine chestnuts of good quality lies 

 In the improvement of our native American nuts and 

 the Hathaway is a decided advance in this direction. 

 3 to 4 ft., ea., 35c; doz., $2.50; 100, $15.00. 



^American orSweet. 



The well-known chestnut 

 of the forest. In sweetness 

 and delicacy of flavor or as 

 a shade tree unsurpassed. 

 It is of fine growth and one 

 of the best for avenue plant- 

 ing, being handsome and 

 symmetrical. to 5 ft., 

 ea., 20c; doz., $2.00. SmaU, 

 transplanted, ea., 10c; doz- 

 $1.00; 100, $5.00. 



'j'Japaii Giant.— Dis 



tinct in growth from either 

 the European or our Amer- 

 ican Chestnut, entirely har- 

 dy, very prolific, and comes into hearing vfien 

 hut two or three years old. At Monmouth Nmsery, 

 trees but three years planted bear abundantly, and the 



most remarkable fact is that some of the burrs con- 

 tain as many as seven large, perfect nuts. The nuts 

 are of large size and of the flavor and sweetness of 

 the native. Many clear-headed farmers and others 

 are planting it largely for proflt, and all should plant 

 at least some. The trees we offer are the true 

 Giant— seedlings from monster seefl. larger than 

 the engraving shows. 2 yrs., 2 to 3 ft., ea., 50c: 

 doz., $5.00; 100, $25.00, lyr., ea., 25c; doz., $2.50; 100. 

 $15.00. 



FILBERTS. 



These, frequently termed hazlenuts are of the eas- 

 iest culture, and are among the most p rofitab le and 

 satisfactory nuts to grow: <^f 

 dwarf habit, entirely hardy, 

 abunoanc yleldprs, succeeding 

 almost every w Here, and coming

into bearing early, as they do, with their rich, toottl*
