J. T. LOVETT, INC., LITTLE SILVER, N. J.— HARDY NUT TREES 5 



Hardy Nut Trees 



These must be shipped by express or freight as they are too large for mailing. 

 Prices by the hundred of any variety promptly given by mail upon request. 

 The Northern Nut Growers' Association has adopted the following resolution: 



"Nut trees may and do come fairly true to type but they do not come true to variety. Consequently 

 our association does not approve of the sale of seedling trees under variety names." 



About thirty-five years ago, I offered perhaps the most complete list of nut trees to be found in any 

 American catalog. "Nuts and Nut Trees" was also made a department in "Orchard and Garden," a monthly 

 horticultural journal then published by me. In "Orchard and Garden" was first illustrated and described 

 the Paragon Chestnut (then known as the Great American Chestnut) and many other varieties that have 

 since become widely planted There are now in full bearing orchards of English Walnuts grown from 

 the nut and sent out by me. The passing years have taught me much in nut culture, chief of which are 

 these facts: It is an error to plant seedling trees of the English Walnut or Madeira Nut or try to grow the 

 southern varieties of the Pecan at the North. To plant seedling English Walnuts or the southern Pecans 

 in latitude of New Jersey and northward, will surely lead to disappointment. 



HARDY NORTHERN PECANS 



NUTS OF INDIANA PECAN 



INDIANA. — For more than a quarter of a century I tried to grow Pecans in New Jersey but without 

 success; for after a few years the trees would be so badly injured by winter-kill that I was obliged to 

 take them out. The trouble was due to the fact that I planted the Southern varieties, and to this 

 only. It is with much satisfaction I am able to state, one can now grow Pecans successfully in Northern 

 New Jersey, and all locations where the Peach is hardy, with the same ease as apples or pears. 

 In fact, with less care, as they need no spraying and almost no attention after the trees have become 

 established. All that is necessary is to plant trees of the variety known as "Indiana" or other hardy 

 varieties that originated in the northern section of the middle west. The nuts are of good size (see 

 illustration), have thin shells and large, plump kernels of the very highest quality. The trees bear 

 young, in three to four years from planting, are beautiful as ornamental trees, yield abundantly and 

 are absolutely hardy. 



I have a quantity of seedlings of hardy northern Pecan trees but do not offer them as seedling trees 

 are unreliable and of little value. The trees I offer were grown from buds taken from the original tree of 

 Indiana. 3 to 4 ft., each, $1.50; doz., $15.00; 4 to 5 feet, each, $2.00; doz. $20.00. 



NIBLACK. — The nuts of this are slightly less in size than those of the Indiana but they have a very 

 thin shell and the cracking properties are ideal. The tree is of lofty proportions and extremely prolific. 

 Grafted trees, 3 to 4 feet, each, $2.00.
