IMPROVED BLACK WALNUTS: All varieties of black walnut listed 
by us are bearers of the highest quality nuts. These varieties have been 
tested and found perfectly hardy and practically immune to diseases. 
Our grafted trees grow on all kinds of soils and locations with good 
success. The demand for black walnut kernels is gaining much favor in recent 
years with candymakers and ice cream manufacturers. Black walnut or¬ 
chards are a safe and paying investment, especially for those who have idle 
land. 
OHIO: From Northern Ohio. Tree is 
a fast grower with a vary beautiful or¬ 
namental effect. Many of our Ohio grafts 
have nuts the following fall after setting. 
Nuts are large. Shell thin. Kernel white 
and plump. Of good quality. This is an 
excellent cracking nut and the halves 
of the kernels may be removed whole in 
most cases. Our grafts taken from best 
producing strains. 
STABLER: Originated in Maryland. Tree produces beautiful foliage and 
makes a fine ornament. It bears large, 
thin-shell nut from which the meats 
may be removed in whole halves in most 
cases. Stabler is the thinnest 'shelled 
black walnut yet discovered. Meats are 
somewhat striped; very attractive and 
bring fancy prices. 
Some topworked Stabler trees in, this 
vicinity are creating much interest and 
people remai'k that they never before have 
seen such wonderful cracking black wal¬ 
nuts. 
THOMAS. Tree is of Pennsylvania origin. It is 
the most rapid grower of them all. Nuts are 
larger than any other propagated black walnut. 
Yet they are remarkably thin shelled and the 
light colored kernels come out nicely. Thomas 
is a heavy bearing variety, ideal for the com¬ 
mercial producer. 
NORTHERN PECANS: Are proving fully hardy here and seem to grow 
well in most any location. Our hardy northern grown stock should not be con¬ 
fused with the southern pecan which has often been brought here only to fail. 
We start our young pecan stock from the seed with no winter protection at 
any time. There is"no trace of winter injury. Trees are somewhat drooping 
and make-fine lawn ornaments.
