Grafted Black Walnuts 
Black Walnuts 
We are having a demand more and more for the black walnut trees from districts where 
the English walnut does not flourish. For a great many years nut men have been gathering and 
selecting the best of the black walnuts for varieties that are of the highest cracking quality. 
The two offered here rate very high. 
THOMAS —Nut is large with a rather thin shell for so large a nut. Tree a fast grower and 
hardy. 4-6 ft. trees, each . $1.50 
STABLER —One of the thinnest shelled of all black walnuts. Meats crack out very nicely. 4-6 ft. 
trees, each . .• . $1.50 
Chinese Walnuts 
The Chinese walnut is the same species that we call the English walnut. The European walnut 
we usually grow originated in Asia and was brought to Europe. Long before this time the Chinese 
had carried the Chinese walnut to Northern China. The nuts are thin-shelled, large and round. 
These Chinese walnuts I sell were grown from seed gathered for me in the mountains of North 
China. These trees are large trees very finely rooted. The Chinese walnut has stood temperatures 
of 52 degrees below zero and is growing in Iowa where the Franquette freezes back every winter. 
Trees 6-8 feet . $1.50 
Heartnuts 
The heartnuts we have are practically all sold. This species is difficult to propagate but we 
hope to have more on the market next year.
