NUT ^ TREES 



Almost every farm contains land that should be planted to nut trees adapted to the soil. Probably no branch of tree cul- 

 tivation pays larger profit or is so well assured of a profitable market for all products, the nuts in many cases paying better 

 than farm crops or fruits, while most kinds are making a growth of valuable timber that will of itself pay a large percent 

 on the investment.

MISCELLANEOUS NUTS 



Butternut or White Walnut. A fine native tree producing 

 a large longish nut, which is prized for its sweet, oily, nutri- 

 tious kernel. 



Shell Bark Hickory. Possesses a peculiar, rich flavor excelled 

 by no other nut. The tree is of sturdy, lofty growth. The 

 wood, on account of its great strength and elasticity, is 

 highly prized for making agricultural implements, and is 

 unsurpassed for fuel. 



Pecan. Not hardy in the North; one of the best and most 

 profitable where it succeeds. Makes a very large, tall tree, 

 producing its thin shelled delicious nuts in profusion. 



Young, bearing Japan Walnut Tree 



CHESTNUTS 



American Chestnut 



American Sweet. A 



valuable native ti'ee, both 

 useful and ornamental; tim- 

 ber is very durable, and pos- 

 sesses a fine grain for oil 

 finish. Nuts sweet, of deli- 

 cate flavor, and are a valu- 

 able article of commerce. No 

 farm should be without its 

 grove of nut-bearing trees, 

 and the chestnut should be 

 foremost wherever the soil 

 is adapted to its growth. 



Spanish. A handsome round-headed tree producing abund- 

 antly very large nuts that find a ready market at good 

 prices; $25.00 have been realized at one fruiting from nuts 

 of a single tree. Not so sweet as the American and tree not 



so hardy. 



FILBERTS 



English. Of easiest culture, growing 6 to 8 feet high, entirely 

 hardy, and one of the most profitable and satisfactory nuts 

 to grow, succeeding on almost all soils, bearing early and 

 abundantly; nuts nearly round, rich and of excellent flavor, 

 admired by all for the dessert. 



WALNUTS 



English. (French, Madeira Nut). A fine, lofty growing tree, 

 with handsome spreading head. Where hardy it produces 

 immense crops of thin-shelled delicious nuts, which are 

 always in demand at good prices; fruit in green state is 

 highly esteemed for pickling. In California and the South 

 large orchards have been planted that are yielding immense 

 profits. Not hardy enough for genet al culture in the North. 



Black. A native tree of large size 

 and majestic form, beautiful 

 foliage. The most valuable of 

 all trees for its timber, which 

 enters largely into the manufac- 

 ture of fine furniture and cabinet 

 ware, and brings the highestprice 

 in the market. Tree a rapid 

 grower, producing a large round 

 nut of excellent quality. 



Japan, Sieboldi. Perfectly hardy, 

 iapid grower, handsome form, 

 immense leaves; bears young and 

 abundantly, one of the finest 

 ornamental trees. Nuts pro- 

 duced in clusters; resembles 

 Butternut in shape and quality; 

 smaller with smooth and thinner 

 shell. Worthy of extensive planting. 



Japan, Max Cordiformis. Differs from Sieboldi in form of 

 nuts, which are broad- pointed, flattened, resembling some- 

 what shell-bark Hickory.
