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

 and Hickories, however, will succeed if Riven 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 varie- 

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

Japan Giant Chestnut Tree, four years old. 



"Is among the most valuable recent introductions from Japan. It is quite distinct from the European 

 Tarleties, being hardier and the nuts are of a superior flavor and sweetness. The leaf Is long and narrow 

 like a peach leaf, of dark green color, making a very ornamental lawn tree; comes to bearing at two to 

 three years of age, and while yet in the nursery rows, 3 to 4 feet high, they are heavily laden with nuts of 

 enormous size, measuring 4 to 6 Inches around and running 3 to 7 in a burr. Their early bearing and great 

 productiveness of such enormous nuts are the wonder and admiration of all who see them.
