Not oaly are these valuable for their flne nuts, but 

 they are among the largest and finest of shade trees, 

 while the wood, on account of its strengah and elas- 

 ticity, is highly prized for the making of agricultural 

 Implements, and for other manufacturing purposes, 

 and it is also unsurpassed for fuel.

*Pecan, (Carya oZirecc^rmiit).— This nut so 

 well-known and highly prized by all. Is of the easiest 



culture; the 

 tree being 

 found in the 

 forests of the 

 South and 

 West many 

 suppose that it is not hardy at the North, which is 



used in the manu- 

 facture of flne 

 furniture. U n - 

 like our American 

 varieties, the nuts 



fall from the hull when ripe. The tree is of lofty 

 growth, hardyland productive from New York south- 



erroneous. The shell is very thin, the kernel svreet

New- York, N. Y. I 

 The trees and shrubs bought from you this spring 1 



are almost without exception doing well. I believe 

 I have lost about three of the evergreen— out of some 

 20 or 24; there is hardly a single decTdeous tree, out 

 of some 60, that is at all doubtful, and every shrub 

 (some 30 In all) is all right. The Azelea Mollis and 

 Ghent Azelea have both flowered magniflcently, and 

 are a revelation to me. I must have more of these 

 Azelea next year. Thomas W. Ludlow. 



Guernsey Co., Ohio. 

 I received my order of trees No. 13948 the 8th of 



April in good condition: they were on the road 

 thirteen days. I am well pleased with the grade of 

 trees and the way you pack them. C. D. Romans, 

 Sax Francisco, Cal. 

 Plants received. I have received several consign- 

 ments of plants from as many nurseries, but allow 

 me to say, that compared to yours, they do not 

 deserve the name, "plants"— mere cuttings. Yours 

 are the flnest I have ever received and I have re- 

 ceived plants every year for the last four years past, 

 from several^different nurseries every year.
