T HE NUT INDUSTRY is growing in importance year by year. Nut 
farming is certainly interesting as well as profitable. If it were 
possible to have it, almost everyone would take delight in the posses¬ 
sion of a nut farm. It would be hard to think of a more fascinating 
heritage to leave children. We spend the whole of October each year 
in gathering and marketing nuts, and at the same time, PICK UP, with 
the nuts, health and happiness. Carefully look over our list of nursery 
stock. You may see something you want. Your order will have our 
very best attention. If you think of making a planting, call at our 
farm, if convenient, and look over our stock. You will see much on the 
place not listed here. We are a short distance off of Route No. 3, 
between Alton and Jerseyville—seven miles from Alton—fourteen from

BLACK WALNUTS 
THOMAS—The tree is a very thrifty grower, bearing early and 
abundantly. Nut large; kernel large and of excellent quality. It is a 
good cracker, ninety percent of the meat coming out in quarters and 
halves. This variety will crack out ten pounds to the bushel. 
OHIO—A thin shelled nut of medium size and good quality. Its 
cracking qualities are also good. The tree is extremely hardy. 
STABLER—Smaller than Thomas. It cracks even better than the 
Thomas—most of the kernels coming out in halves. Some of the nuts 
of this variety have but one lobe to the kernel. These crack out whole. 
TEN EYCK—One of the “four old stand bys.” Thinnest shelled 
of them all, and a nut of very fine quality. 
STAMBAUGH—Won first prize in the 1926 contest staged by the 
Northern Nut Growers Association. (There were nearly 2000 entries 
in the contest). Stambaugh is an early and prolific bearer. Also the 
tree is an unusually fast grower. 
ROHWER—Won second prize in the 1926 contest, and is also very 
highly recommended.
