PERSIAN WALNUTS 



The Persian (English) walnut has been grown commercially for 

 many years on the Pacific Coast. But the demand has never been 

 supplied and the United States annually imports walnuts. This nut 

 is familiar to all and needs little description. 



The Franquette and Mayette, two of the leading Pacific Coast 

 varieties, are very promising for northern planting. These are 

 among the finest Persian walnuts grown in the world.
