The flavor of these three wonderful Black Walnuts is without question the verv 
finest. Both are easy to crack, produce large meats when cracked, make wonderful fla¬ 
vored candies. The black walnut retains its true flavor after cooking and is very pop¬ 
ular with bakers, candy manufacturing companies, and in the use of ice creams. 
The easy cracking qualities of these New Grafted Black Walnuts cannot be com¬ 
pared with the old black walnuts. They produce large meats and will be profitable to 
anyone wishing to plant a commercial orchard. You will not have any worry as to their 
hardiness as their home is in Pennsylvania and New York, as that is where these orig- 
lnted, and were first brought into bearing. It Is not hard to crack this type of nut so 
that whole halves are secured. 
Varieties to Plant 
THOMAS: Very large, thin shelled, splendid flavored, easy cracking nut. A fast 
atid upright gtower. Large meat obtained when cracked. Heavy bearer in 5 years. 
STABLER: Nut medium size, but excellent cracker, thin shelled, excellent flavor. 
Tree is prolific bearer. Kernel comes out easily, often not divided, so the meats can be 
extracted in one piece. Bears early. 
STAMBAUGH: Large, thin shelled nuts, easy cracking, and fast growing tree. Does 
well planted with Thomas or Stabler. 
NOTE: Refer to photograph for picture of Thomas and Stabler Black Walnuts. 
PLANT UNPRODUCTIVE LAND: These Grafted Black Walnuts will thrive where 
any black walnut will grow. It will pay you to plant this unproductive land to these 
nuts. The timber will be valuable in years to come as well as the big crops of black 
walnuts that you will harvest. Wiite for prices on large plantings or refer to enclosed 
price list. 
i CHESTNUT 1 Growing On the Pacific Coast 
Present indications show' encouraging possibilities for Grafted Chestnut groves on 
the Pacific slope, particularly in the Northw'est. Chestnut growing in the East is no 
longer a profitable industry. Disease and weevil have caused heavy losses to their groves. 
The West has never suffered fiom these adversities. 
Bearing groves in Oregon and California show very heavy yields at exceedingly early 
age. Trees of the giafted type are paying good at seven yeais and will, under favorable 
Conditions, produce more thn 125 pounds to the tree at 10 years. Yields of 2000 to 4000 
pounds per acre may be expected from trees 12 to 15 years of age. The fact that we 
are capable of producing fine chestnuts that are sold in car lots at 15 to 20 cents per lb. 
and that we are importing many millions of pounds of chestnuts from foreign countries, 
should interest the progressive horticulturist. The future for chestnuts will no doubt 
bo good. The cost of producing and harvesting this crop is nominal. They require no 
special spraying, pruning or thinning. The nut falls free from the burr. 
Chestnuts will adapt themselves to ordinary orchard soils with proper drainage. For 
large, rich, brown, glossy nuts far superior to those of our foreign competitor, we are 
leceiving a premium of 5 to 8 cents per lb. Chestnuts produced in the Northwest show' 
beautiful color, well filled buirs, large size and heavy tonnage. 
The following sorts of grafted chestnut trees are proven sorts for this coast and 
a variety should be planted to insure good crass pollenization. This stock will be income 
producers at seven years. 
Some of the following varieties were originated in Illinois and are hardy for the coast 
section w r ell up into Canada. The chestnut industry has dropped out entirely on the 
Atlantic coast owing to blight. This coast has never been affected with the so called 
Oriental Chestnut Bark disease. The following article is taken from the U. S. Dept, 
of Agriculture year book on page 482 of the 1927 edition, showing a great field for chest¬ 
nuts. 
“There are three known orchards and grove plantings of chestnut trees in Southern 
Illinois which for many years have annually given highly satisfactory yields. Nuts from 
these trees (fig. 166) have readily brought from 18c to 30c per pound in Chicago, depend¬ 
ing upon the grade and market conditions, less commission and shipping charges amount¬ 
ing roughly to 5 cents per pound. These nuts normally mature in time to reach the 
maiket well in advance of the imported product from Southern Europe, w'hich retails 
at about half or two-thirds these prices. Nevertheless, even in competition with for- 
tign nuts, the late home grown varieties have an established reputation which enables 
them to command a margin in price of several cents a pound during the early part of 
th import season.” . 
Chestnuts will respond to the same cultivation, fertility, drainage and cover crop¬ 
ping as a walnut grove. Chestnuts do not blossom until summer time and are sure 
croppers. 
The field for expansion in the chestnut industry is great. Markets are good, and a
