NUTS. 
Nuts should be planted by preference on the highest and driest avail- 
able ground. As they are often injured by frosts at the flowering season, 
it would be well if advantage were taken of the shelter provided by 
adjacent trees, to protect them in a measure from the cutting winds of 
Spring. They grow well in stony land, provided it be thoroughly well 
drained and that there be a fair admixture of soil. Suckers should be 
removed as soon as they appear, as the}' greatly interfere with the 
fruitfulness.
