Many more trees of this and the other varieties in this 
planting are bearing equally as well. 
This is only one of the many instances where budded 
trees of these named varieties start producing at an early 
age. 
Many reports, verified by photographs, have been 
received of unusual production of these young trees of 
the named northern varieties of both walnut and pecan. 
I have had the pleasure of seeing many of these fruit¬ 
ing over a wide range of the Northern Nut Tree Territory. 
Nut trees live to be very old and attain g*reat size, 
and should be planted 50 or 60 feet apart each way in 
orchard planting, requiring but few trees per acre, 
making the planting cost no more than for fruit trees. 
When the head of a nut tree is once formed, no more 
pruning is necessary and as they are not bothered by in¬ 
sects, so common to fruit trees, spraying is not required. 
Nuts do not have to be gathered as soon as ripe. Har¬ 
vesting may be delayed to suit the convenience of the 
gatherer. Nuts are not perishable and may be kept during 
winter without protection from cold, they may also be 
placed in cold storage and kept fresh during the follow¬ 
ing summer. 
Every Tree Planter Should Plant Nut Trees 
2 to 3 feet 
3 to 4 feet 
4 to 5 feet 
5 to 7 feet
