Usefully decorative, with luxurious foliage and symmetrical growth, affording generous shade, they are Pre-eminently the sort of 
trees for a gentleman’s estate. 
Above all, they’re highly profitable. A reasonable number of these trees will not only supply your own household requirements in nut 
foods — now a wide spread, popular and healthful usage — they will go a long way toward maintaining the up-keep of your grounds. 
Nut trees from the Glenwood Nurseries are bred under strenuous climatic conditions, and come to you superabundantly fortified with rugged 
vigor, toughness of fibre, and hardy health and strength that assures their successful growth and bearing in the cold climate of the East and North. 
There is always an eager market for all the nuts you can spare from your crop at attractive prices. 
Our English Walnuts and Pecans (Paper Shell) are bred for cold climates. Hickories, Filberts, Black Walnuts and Butternuts 
not only produce ample crops of sweet, tender and nutritious nut meats but make exceedingly decorative landscape trees. 
We are Landscape Artists, and we are being constantly called upon to supply trees of these varieties for the most exclusive estates. 
Let us advise you, according to the size and requirements of your estate; the conditions of soil, drainage and elevation. 
We will cheerfully send you our 1917 catalogue on receipt of your name and address. It explains 
Nut culture , the care and culture of Fruits, Roses, Shrubs, Evergreens, etc., GRATIS.
