EVERBEARING STRAWBERRIES 
from SEED 
Bed Alpine. Seed sown early and young plants 
transplanted to the field, will produce a crop in 
the fall of the same year. Plants from the gen¬ 
eral sowing made in spring and summer yield de¬ 
licious fruit over an inch in length during the 
succeeding Strawberry season. Berries are often 
produced as late as the last of October or early 
November. Berries are not as large as the stand¬ 
ard varieties, but are of superior quality and 
have the rich wild Strawberry flavor. Pkt., 15e; 
2 pkts., 25c. 
Hardy Pecan 
HARDY PECANS 
Northern grown Pecans are just as 
hardy as the hickories and should not 
be confused with Southern grown stock. 
Our trees are Michigan grown and 
withstood last winter’s temperature of 
17 to 20 degrees below zero without 
injury. They are ideal for shade trees 
as they are practically immune to in¬ 
sects and do not shed their leaves un¬ 
til late in the fall. 2 to 3 ft. trees, 
75c each, postpaid. 
WALNUTS 
Walnuts are becoming more popular each year with bakers, candy 
makers and ice cream manufacturers. They will grow in nearly all 
sections of the United States. They will thrive with little or no atten¬ 
tion and if planted along fence rows, take up very little of your tillable 
land. W hile Walnut seedlings produce satisfactory results, we rec¬ 
ommend planting grafted trees where early bearing and quality are 
desired. We have selected two of the best varieties to offer to our 
customers this season. 
ailJlt'olfl' T h ? "u 11 , is ver - v 'large, thin shell, has a very fine flavor and cracks out 
ii . wh ? le halves and quarters. Grows much faster than the seedling trees 
trTL i y beglns t0 bear a few nu ts the second year after transplanting. G to 8 ft. 
trees, by express, not prepaid, $2.25 each. 
OHIO. Medium in size, thin shell, good bearer and fine quality. Wonderful 
cracking quality. In most cases the meats can be removed in whole halves. 6 to 8 
ft. trees, by express, not prepaid, $2.00 each. 
Hardy English Walnut 
Our English Walnut trees are hardy, will stand more cold than peaches, and will 
produce good crops of nuts which are in every way equal to the California produo!. 
mere is very little labor connected with the harvesting of English Walnuts—simply 
gather the nuts from the ground when they fall. No shucking — simply pick them up 
and put them in sacks and they are ready for use. No other work connected with 
harvesting. These trees have been thoroughly tested. We can recommend them for 
planting in Michigan, New York and other Northern and Eastern States as well as in 
the South and West. The English Walnut equals the maple as a shade tree. 18 to 
24 inches, $1.00 each, postpaid. By express, not prepaid, 2 to 3 feet, $1.25: 3 to 4 
feet, $1.50; 4 to 6 feet, $1.75. 
Japanese Walnut 
Of the finer imported Walnuts the Japanese is the species best adapted by its 
hardy, vigorous habit for general culture in our country. It grows with great vigor, 
assuming a handsome shape without pruning, and has withstood a temperature of 
21 degrees below zero without injury. Its nuts are considerably larger than the 
common hickory-nut, and are borne in clusters of fifteen to twenty. The shell is a 
little thicker than that of the English Walnut, which it resembles in a general way. 
The kernels are meaty, delicate, and can be removed entire. It is a handsome shade 
tree. 2 to 3 feet, $1.00 each, postpaid. By express, not prepaid, 4 to 6 feet, $1.25; 
6 to 8 feet, $1.50. 
Native Black Walnut 
A native tree of large size and majestic 
form. The most valuable of all trees for its 
timber, bringing the very highest price in 
market. The tree is a fairly rapid grower, 
makes a good shade tree, and the large, oily 
nuts are of fine flavor and marketable at a 
fair price. 2 to 3 feet, 60c each, postpaid. 
By express, not prepaid, 4 to 6 feet, 80c; 
6 to 8 feet, $1.30; 8 to 10 feet, $1.75. 
BUTTERNUT 
(White Walnut) 
_ The nuts are large, long, oily and nutri¬ 
tious. A lofty, spreading tree, valued as a 
shade tree and for its beautiful wood as well 
as for its nuts. 2 to 3 feet. 60c each, post¬ 
paid. By express, not prepaid, 4 to 6 feet, 
80c; 6 to 8 feet, $1.30.

fornia or Arizona; and Pecans cannot he shipped into California, Arizona and Utah. 
87 Oranges on a Three-Year-Old Tree in Illinois 
On the 13th of last February, one of our customers, Mr. H. T. Gever. 418 
No. LaVergne Ave., Chicago, who had purchased one-year-old Orange, Lemon 
and Fig trees from us two years before, wrote to us as follows : 
“The Orange tree I bought two years ago had 87 oranges on it this year, 
past; the Lemon tree had 11 lemons and the Fig tree had 14 figs.”
