 streaked with carmine on the sunny side; the flesh 

 is firm, sweet and delicious; stone very small; an 

 enormous bearer. It ripens between Early and 

 Late Crawford.

NUT-BEARING TREES. 



Since the growing of fruit trees has become such 

 an uncertain quantity, the tree growers are turn- 

 ing their attention to the nut-growing industry. 

 Quite a number of planters in the Western section 

 of this state are planting largely; mostly the chest- 

 nut, and notably the Japans. They bear when 

 quite young, and abundantly, are dwarf in habit, 

 hardy and ornamental. They claim superiority 

 over all others, because they are larger, sweeter 

 and better. Single trees have been known to pay 

 from $10.00 to $15.00. Palatable and wholesome as 

 they are, they should become a common article of 

 food here, as in Europe. Usually planted 30 feet 

 apart, and will take same kind of culture as the 

 apple.
