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 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 trees of those varieties marked with an asterisk (*) will be mailed for 3c. each additional.

CHESTNUTS. 



♦American or Sweet.— Tie well-known 

 chestnut of the forest. In sweetness and delicacy 

 of flavor or as a shade tree it is unsurpassed. Of

Hathaway.— A purely native of great merit. 



It originated with Mr. B. 

 Hathaway, of Michigan, 

 the originator of the Bid- 

 well strawberry and other 

 valuable varieties of fruit. 

 It is very large for its 

 class and possesses to an 

 unusual degree the sweet- 

 ness and fine quality of 

 the native chestnut. 2 

 to 3 feet, each, 25c; 

 dozen, $2.50. 



Japan Giant.— Among the most valuable 



recent introductions from Japan. It comes into 

 bearing at two to three years of age, and while yet 

 in the nursery rows they are heavily laden ^ ith 

 nuts of enormous size. Their tarly bearing and 

 great productiveness of such enotmovs nuts are 

 the wonder and admiration of all who see them. 

 Matures early and does not require the aid of frost 

 to open the burrs. Its early bearing and band- 

 some dwarf habit make it desirable for the home 

 grounds. 1 yr.. ea., 25c; doz., $2.50; 100, $15.00.

 valuable 

 both for or- 

 nament and 

 fruit. For 

 genera 



planting this is the best of all the chestnuts, ss the 

 nuts are much larger than the American and of far 

 better quality than the Japan. This is the parent of 

 the famous Paragon variety. Our trees are ac- 

 climated, hence are much hardier than the foreign 

 stock. 6 to 8 ft., ea., 35c; doz.. $3.50: 100, $20.00.
