PLANTING NUT TREES. 
Experience has shown that nut trees must be care¬ 
fully planted in order to start them o»T success¬ 
fully. Dig liberal size holes to accomodate the 
roots in a natural position. Use rich soil in filling 
in the holes, placing it in layers according to the 
roots and tamp each layer firmly with a tamping 
stick but avoid bruising roots by covering them 
with a layer of soil before tamping. Use no 
manure in the holes. Leave a depression about 
the planted tree to collect moisture. Avoid plant¬ 
ing immediately after a heavy rain and on the 
other hand if the soil is very dry water the trees 
after planting. It is very good practice to mulch 
the trees after planting with manure or decayed 
straw. Give them water at least once a week 
during very dry weather, applying same right 
through the mulch. Keep weeds and grass away 
from trees for a few years and give cultivation to 
orchard plantings for at least two years. 
Plant pecans and black walnuts, 50 to 60 feet 
apart. English walnuts, 40 to 50 feet apart. 
Filberts and almonds, 15 to 20 feet apart. Hick¬ 
ories 40 feet apart. 
Filberts and Hazels make excellent fillers for the 
permanent trees of a nut orchard as they do not 
grow to be very large and bear paying crops in 
a few years, they may be removed when the larger 
trees come into bearing. The orchard may be 
seeded to alfalfa, leaving a cultivation strip along 
each side of the rows of trees being beneficial 
however. 
BLACK WALNUTS 
Are very hardy and will do well on a wide range 
of soils. Either level or hilly country is adapted 
to their culture. The trees are very ornamental 
as well as useful. Our grafted varieties are prop¬ 
agated from trees that produce the best type of 
nuts as to flavor and cracking quality.
