TO CUSTOMERS AND FRIENDS 
This catalogue is sent to past customers as a reminder 
that I remember them and appreciate their business, and 
solocit their future orders; to prospective nut tree buyers 
as an invitation to become one of my customers. 
That my trees have given satisfaction is evidenced by 
the many testimonials from my customers. 
My young budded trees growing here have proven 
their quality by their early and prolific bearing. 
My nursery is located in the heart of the northern 
pecan tree territory in a soil especially adapted to grow¬ 
ing nut trees where they grow an unusually good root 
system, making them easy to transplant and quick to 
start growth. 
Nut trees are the longest lived of all food producing 
trees, and once established require less care and attention 
than fruit trees, as they do not need to be sprayed and 
after the head of the tree is once formed little or no 
pruning is necessary. 
Budded or grafted trees bear early. An orchard of 
them in a few years should come into profitable bearing, 
and will last for a century or more. Plant only budded 
or grafted trees. - - 
My trees are’budded or grafted from my own bearing 
trees, insuring them to be true to label. 
Before placing your order for nut trees, be sure you 
are buying from a reliable nurseryman, who will sell you 
only budded or grafted trees of Hardy Northern varieties. 
The Northern Nut Growers’ Association issues a list 
of accredited nurseries where these trees may be bought. 
This list may be had by applying to the Secretary. 
Any information desired that is not given in the 
catalogue will be cheerfully given on request. 
My nursery is open for inspection at all times and 
vistors are always welcome.

DEMAND FOR NUTS 
The United States annually imports millions of dollars 
worth of nuts, many of which might be grown at home. 
Nut brokers and dealers are clamoring for all home 
grown nuts of all kinds to meet the increasing demands 
of their customers. Each fall I get many inquiries from 
them as to the nut crop in this section, stating they are 
in the market for any amount up to carload lots.
