16 MARYLAND NUT NURSERIES 



HICKORIES 



There are several named varieties of 

 fine shagbarks of thin shell and high quality. 

 At present we are listing only the Kentucky. 

 It is a beautiful white nut: can be cracked 

 with any ordinary table nut cracker; has 

 a plump kernel and fine flavor. All hick- 

 ories grow slowly the first few years, but 

 everyone should set some of these beautiful 

 budded or grafted trees. The foliage in 

 Kentucky Shagbark summer is a dark green; in autumn it turns 

 Hickory Nut to a most glorious golden hue. 



EXTRACTS FROM ADDRESS OF DR. J. H. KELLOGG 



Battle Creek, Mich. 



"Of all really valuable foodstuffs the nut possesses special properties which 

 entitle it to first consideration as a foodstuff. 



Nuts are rich in vitamines. In fact, the nut consists of the choicest aggrega- 

 tion of all the materials essential for the building of sound human tissues, done up 

 in a hermetically sealed package ready to be delivered by the gracious hand of 

 Nature to those who are fortunate enough to appreciate the value of this choicest 

 of all earth's bounties. 



The planting of nut trees along all the public highways of the country would 

 in less than twenty years result in a crop, the food value of which would be greater 

 than that at present produced by the entire livestock industry of the country." 



Everyone who has a place to grow any tree should grow a nut tree. Why set 

 trees for foliage alone when productiveness may also be combined? The apple, 

 peach and pear do this for us, it is true, but nut trees need no spraying and little 

 care, live long and return a delicious product that gathers itself and keeps indefi- 

 nitelv without cold storage. — Dr. William C. Demixg, Georgetown, Conn. 



Anna, Illinois, November 10, 1916. 

 Mr. White has sent the bill of trees, 164 in number, and I received them in 

 tip-top shape and to say that I was pleased with them is putting it mildly. They 

 appeared to be strictly first-class and were packed well enough to have gone to 

 Europe and back barring submarine attacks and still be in good shape. I have, 

 since receiving this bill, sent in orders for sixty-one more trees to be shipped about 

 November 15th, and you may rest assured that I can cheerfully recommend 

 your firm to anyone wanting anything in your line. 



(Signed) O. H. Casper. 



Almost anyone can have an income of a few thousand dollars a year from nut 

 orchards, if he really cares to bring his initiative to bear upon the subject. — 

 Dr. Robert T. Morris. New York Citv.
