Why hesitate to plant nut trees? The Agricultural 
Department, nut journals, farm journals, magazines, and 
nut tree authorities recommend their planting. 
Planting a nut orchard is not a speculation, but an 
investment; one that will in a few years pay increasing 
annual dividends, not only to the planter but to future 
generations as well. 
There are thousands of acres of land in each state, 
not producing enough to pay the taxes, that would return 
handsome profits if planted to nut trees. 
As nut trees live so long and attain such a great size 
they should be planted very wide apart, so they may be 
grown on land that is to be annually cultivated to grain 
crops, and interfere very little with cultivation. 
Delayed planting means delayed returns. A tree 
planted this year is always a year ahead of a tree planted 
a year later, and the difference is not the amount of the 
first, but always the amount of the last crop borne. As 
the crop annually increases with the growth of the tree, 
in a few years the difference is several dollars. 
Nut tree planting should not be confined to orchard
