dy, abundant ylelders, succeeding almost every- 

 where, and coming into beariDg early, as they do, 

 with their rich toothsome meat, they are worthy of 

 being planted by everybody. The Filbert can be 

 grown to advantage in a hedge, proving both or- 

 namental and fruitful. Filbert hedges are very 

 ( popular in Europe, and should be in America. 



♦Common English.— The filbert grown the 

 most largely in England and a popular sort. 2 to 

 3 ft., ea.. 15c; doz., $1.50; 100, $9.00. Small, ea., 

 10c: doz., $1.00; 100, $6.00. 



*Cosford. —An old English variety of superior 

 quality and valuable for the thinness of its shell, 

 as no nut crackers are needed with it. Oblong in 

 shape and very sweet. Ea., 20c; doz., $2.00. 



Kentish Cob. - One of the largest and finest 

 of the filberts; oblong, meaty, and of excellent 

 quality. Ea., 20c: doz., $2.00; 100, $12.00. 



HICKORIES. 



Not only are these valuable for their fine nuts, 

 but they are among the largest and finest of shade 

 trees, while the wood, on account of its strength 

 and elasticity, is highly prized for the making of 

 agricultural implements, and for other manufac- 

 turing purposes, and it is also unsurpassed for fuel. 

 *Shellbark, Tuscatine or Shag-bark (Car- 

 ya alba)-— Tree of 

 large growth, en- 

 tirely hardy and 

 productive. Nuts 

 thin-shelled; kernel 

 sweet and excel- 

 lent. Always sells 

 readily at good 

 prices. The wood 

 is of the greatest 

 value for mechani- 

 cal purposes and 

 for fuel. 2 to 3 ft., 

 ea., 25c; doz.. $2 50. Small, transplanted, ea., 15c; 

 doz., $1.50; 100, $9.00.

ture. The trees being found in the forests of the 

 South and West, many suppose that it is not hardy 

 at the North, which is erroneous. 



Our trees are the celebrated Gaudaloupe variety, 

 found growing on the Gaudaloupe River, and are 

 considered the best and also the earliest bearing. 

 Nuts large and very thin-shelled. 5 to 7 ft., ea.,

WALNUTS. 



The wood of the walnut, once so abundant, is 

 now so valuable and in such great demand that 

 large numbers of trees are being planted for this 

 purpose alone and t he investments will prove prof- 

 itable. 



V *Black (Juglans nigra).— The common well- 

 known black walnut; the wood is the most beauti- 

 ful and valuable of all. No one who has ever eaten 

 walnut candy will ever forget the flavor of its oily 

 and toothsome kernels. 6 to 8 ft., ea., 25c; doz., 

 $2.50; 100, $15.00. 5 to 6 ft., ea., 20c; doz., $2.00;

 Small, ea., 10c; doz., $1.00; 100, $4.00. 



./ Thin-shelled Black. A variety of the 

 preceding with unusually thin-shells, the kernels 

 coming out whole. In other respects equally as 

 valuable. A decided improvement and it should 

 be planted wherever the trees are grown for nuts.

 doz., $3.00. 4 to 5 ft., ea., 25c; doz., $2.50. 

 V *Butternut ( Juglans cinereaj .—Nuts differ 

 from those of the 

 black walnut in be- 

 ing longer and the 

 kernels of sweeter, 

 more delicate flav- 

 or. The wood Is 

 also very valuable 

 and the tree of lofty 

 spreading growth.
