The parent Stabler black walnut tree in Howard County, Maryland. 



United States, several of whom pronounced it to be the best cracking 

 black walnut yet discovered. It cracks out from fifty to seventy 

 per cent whole halves and runs in weight from forty to forty-five 

 per cent kernel. If landowners would plant only their fence rows 

 and waste land to this tree they would add many dollars to their 

 incomes; add value to their farms and afford permanent and profit- 

 able employment for their farm labor in winter in preparing the nut 

 kernels for market. The grafted trees of the Stabler have a beauti- 

 ful, willowy foliage and make a striking effect in the fields, yards or 

 along driveways. 



In our recent flits around Denver we have been more than gratified to see 

 the great number of black walnut trees planted around so many of the finer estates 

 and there must be thousands of these trees on Wheatridge within sight of Denver.
