ash influences the fat content, color and plumpness of the kernel. A fer¬ 
tilizer containing 6 per cent nitrogen, 8 per cent phosphoric acid and 4 per 
cent potash is a well balanced fertilizer to supply the demand of the nut 
tree on most soils. Fertilizers should be applied in early spring, shortly 
before or about the time the trees put out buds. It should be applied on the 
surface of the ground in a band around the tree and then cultivated in the 
soil. 
Unsolicited letters from customers showing that grafted trees do bear 
early: 
From Arlington County, Virginia, November, 1932. The two .Stabler 
Black Walnuts that you sent two years ago are doing well despite the drought 
of the last two years and bore about one-half bushel of nuts this year. 
Signed Bedford Brown. 
From the Province of Ontario, Canada, September, 1931. I would like 
to have your catalogue of nut trees. I have some Thomas Walnuts I got 
from Mr. Jones in 1924. They now have the 4th crop on and have done 
fine, besides when I planted them in spring of 1924 the place was sold and 
I moved them in 1925 to the new place and that set them back. One of them 
has over 300 nuts this year. Signed J. H. Gage. 
Ohio American Black Walnut 
THE AMERICAN BLACK WALNUT grows naturally from Canada to 
Florida, and from Maine to the Great Divide, and on about all kinds of soils 
and locations. The climate of Colorado is especially trying on trees but the 
black walnut is doing well there. Our grafted trees are also doing well in 
Washington and Oregon. 
The black walnut is one of our principle forest trees in the U. S. and will 
thrive with little or no attention as do other trees of the same type. This, 
when we consider the healthfulness and longevity of the tree, makes the plant¬ 
ing of the black walnut one of the surest and most attractive propositions. 
THOMAS. The largest black walnut we are propagating. Originated 
with the late Jos. Thomas, King-of-Prussia, Pa. One of the finest black 
walnuts yet found and of the best quality. Nut very large, kernels large, 
light colored and of very good quality. Kernels crack out 90% whole halves 
and quarters. The tree is a wonderful grower, fully doubling the ordinary 
black walnut in growth. 
OHIO. From Northern Ohio. Nut medium to large; shell thin; kernel 
full of good quality. An excellent cracking nut and the halves of the kernels 
can be removed entire in most cases. The tree is a good grower and very 
early bearer. 
STABLER. Originated in Maryland. One of the finest black Walnuts 
and the best of all in cracking quality. The kernels can easily be removed 
in halves and this variety runs quite a few one-lobed nuts from which the 
kernel can be removed in one piece.
