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



HARDY ENGLISH WALNUTS 



NUTS OF VROOMAN FRANQUETTE ENGLISH WALNUTS 



There are two important properties that nearly all varieties of the English Walnut or Madeira nut 

 lack, namely: hardiness and productiveness. In the following named varieties, we have both prolific 

 bearing and hardiness of tree and blossom — fully as hardy5as the Peach, and much more certain croppers. 

 The trees I offer are all grafted on the black walnut; which gives added vigor and hardihood to the tree. 



VROOMAN FRANQUETTE. — Nuts large, somewhat pointed, thin shell with rich sweet large plump 

 meats. A vigorous grower and bears young. Tree of spreading habit, resembling the apple and needs no 

 special care or attention. 2 to 3 ft., each, $1.50; doz., $15.00; 3 to 4 ft., each, $2.00; doz., $20.00. 



SOBER PARAGON CHESTNUT 



BLACK WALNUT 



THOMAS. — A variety of the well known Black 

 Walnut that yields abundantly of very large 

 almost round nuts. The introducer says: "The 

 Thomas is by far the finest Black Walnut that I 

 have been able to find, and will please anyone 

 wanting the best. The tree will succeed with little 

 or no attention in almost any situation. The 

 grafted tr^es bear very early and very abundantly. 

 The nut is very large; the meat is plump, white and 

 of excellent quality; the shell is thin and the cracking 

 quality excellent.* 2 to 3 ft., each, $1.00; 3 to 4ft., 

 $1.25. 



SEEDLINGS. — These were grown from selected 

 nuts of the Black Walnut but cannot be relied upon 

 to produce nuts equal to those planted. 3 to 4 ft., 

 each, 25c.; doz., $2.50. 4 to 6 ft., each, 35c.; 

 doz., $3.50. 



This is so superior to 

 all the other varieties of "^^^ 

 chestnuts I have grown 

 (in productiveness, early 

 bearing, size and qualit 

 of nuts) it does nc t 

 appear to be worth whil 

 to offer any other kina. 

 The trees begins to pro- 

 duce nuts in two to 

 four years, and they 

 yield heavy annual 

 crops, have three to six 



of its large nuts in a burr and the nuts are sweet 

 and of the best quality. Of course, the terrible 

 scourge, the chestnut bark disease, is to be dreaded, 

 but Mr. Sober assures me he has never had a trace 

 of it upon his grounds and all the trees I offer are 

 from his nursery. These trees are grafted upon 

 seedlings of the* Paragon and are all that can be 

 desired. 5 to 6 ft., each, $1.50; doz., $15.00. 



BUTTERNUT 



This native nut forms a wide spreading tree with 

 horizontal branches and is decidedly ornamental. 

 Its large long nuts have a thick shell with meats 

 somewhat similar in character to the Black Walnut 

 but less oily. Tree bears when quite young and 

 abundantly. 3 to 4 ft., each, 25c.; doz., $2.50. 



JAPANESE WALNUT 



(Juglans Sieboldiana) 



— From northern Japan and as hardy as an oak. 

 The tree is of strong, rapid growth, bears when 

 young and is exceedingly prolific, the nuts hanging 

 in large long clusters. In appearance, the nuts re- 

 semble the small English Walnuts but the shell is 

 hard and bony; though not so thick as the ordinary 

 Black Walnut. Meat sweet, of mild flavor and 

 decidedly good. It reproduces true to type from 

 seed. The trees offered are seedlings. 4 to 6 ft., 

 each, 50c.; doz., $5.00.
