The thousands of Walnut trees shown above 
are the property of the HAMMOND PARK 
BOARD. They are over 8 feet high today. It 
took three years to convince them that trees 
they could get for practically nothing when 
ten years old were just as good as those they 
had been in the habit of paying from 81 to $5 
ea^h for. 
How would you like a 83 or 810 memorial 
in your park that w'ould produce millions of 
Walnuts for the kiddies for a century P
