MARYLAND NUT NURSERIES 



Growing all through the North and East are hundreds of Persian 

 walnut trees. Many of them bear nuts which compare favorably 

 with some of the best Pacific Coast varieties. Of the northern 

 and eastern Persian walnuts the following are some of the most 

 promising: The Ontario from St. Catharines, Canada: the Holden 

 from Hilton, New York: the Rush and Nebo from Lancaster County. 

 Pennsylvania; the Potomac from Washington, D.C. 



All of our Persian walnut trees are budded or grafted on northern 

 black walnut stocks to make thriftier trees. 



BLACK WALNUTS 



Black walnuts are rapid growers and bear early. They thrive 

 in nearly all parts of the United States; on hills, in valleys, along 

 fence rows and the roadsides. They are valuable both for their 

 nuts and timber. It is one of the hardiest of our native forest trees 

 and the wood is beautiful and durable. We strongly recommend the 

 planting of budded and grafted trees. 



The best cracking black walnut that has yet been discovered is 

 the Stabler. The parent tree grows in Howard County, Maryland. 

 It was brought to the attention of a member of the Executive Com- 

 mittee of the Northern Nut Growers' Association by Henry Stabler. 

 Specimens were sent to a number of the leading nut men of the 



Block of 5,000 black walnut seedlings in our nursery near Bowie, Maryland.
