NUTLETS. 
Ptero Carya Caucasica ^ "ew rapid growing type of Circas- 
, . ^ , , sian Walnut. The Circassian Walnut 
lumljer is about the handsomest and most expensive of all for 
furniture. The variety which I now offer for the first time is 
luUy four times as rapid in growth as the general stock. A most 
beautiful hardy shade tree, besides its unusual value for timber. 
Seed, per packet, 25c; ounce, $1. 
Bambusa Henonis (Phyllostachis henonis) 
The Bambdos are one of the most useful and ornamental plants 
which grow on the earth. Of these there are over two hundred 
species, some of which thrive from sea level up to 15,000 feet. 
They are cultivated not only for use in a hundred different ways, 
but also for their surpassing grace and beauty. Most of them are 
tropical or semitropical, but some are quite hardy, enduring a 
zero temperature. Many Bamboos bloom so seldom that it has 
even been impossible to classify them, and others bloom only once 
in a lifetime, bear seed, and die. 
The United States Government has lately prohibited the further 
importation of bamboos on account of the danger of introducing 
insect pests. Fortunately an old hardy bamboo on my home place 
bloomed throughout the whole large clump last summer, pro- 
duced seed and promptly died. From these seeds I have raised 
a lot of thrifty young bamboos of the zero type of hardiness. 
This species, while one of the most beautiful, graceful and hardy 
of all the bamboos, also furnishes a constant supply of light, 
strong plant stakes, bean poles, and fishing poles, while adding a 
unique grace and beauty wherever placed. These can be grown 
as house ornaments in the colder Eastern states, and planted out 
in the spring. Packet, 25c. 
Engleburg, Colo., Dec. 14, 1920. — I procured ten heads of your 
"Quality" Wheat in the Spring of 1919 from which I secured 304 
kernels. Planted on April 17, harvested 27th day of July. 
Planted first week of May this season, harvested 10th day of 
August. The finest wheat I have ever seen. It is safe to say that 
this wheat will mature in from 100 to 105 days. This was grown 
at an altitude of 6484 feet (one and one-fourth miles high). I 
regard this wheat superior to any wheat I have ever seen, both 
with respect to earliness, size of kernel, and freedom from rust. 
Two other varieties grown on the same soil were attacked with 
rust, while "Quality" remained free from attack. I took first 
premium at the County Fair over all other competitors. I would 
not part with my 68 pounds of seed for $200 cash!

All agriculture and horticulture are dependent on 
weather conditions. Land is becoming more expensive 
each season, labor is costly, and it is absolutely necessary 
to have plants, trees, grains, grasses, and vegetables 
which will yield more, of better quality, and insure 
larger and more certain crops.
