BOWIE, MARYLAND 



tucky; the Posey in Gibson County, Indiana; the Warrick in War- 

 rick County, Indiana; fifty miles north of Evansville at Vincennes 

 is the parent Niblack and sixty miles north of Evansville, near the 

 39th parallel in Knox County, Indiana, grow the Indiana and the 

 Busseron. Latitudes are arbitrary, however, and only suggestive. 

 The isotherms must be considered as well as the parallels. The 38th 

 and 39th parallels followed west from Indiana would cross prohibi- 

 tive pecan climates in the mountain states and would run into sub- 

 tropical climate in California, where we find oranges growing at the 

 Philadelphia latitude. Coming back east to the Atlantic Coast 

 plain, we find Evansville and Vincennes climates stretching north 

 into New Jersey. The varieties we list are the hardiest grown. They 

 are fine, delicious nuts of high quality. 



SET BUDDED OR GRAFTED TREES 



Seedling nut trees do not come true to variety. But when scions 

 or buds are cut from some particular tree and propagated on a seed- 

 ling stock the tree thus produced grows the same nuts identically 

 as those produced by the original tree.
