OUR SPECIALTY 
NEW WALNUTS —In the nation-wide search for better black wal¬ 
nuts, many interesting and very promising varities have been discov¬ 
ered, some scoring even higher than the old, standard varieties. We 
make a specialty of growing a few trees of each new variety that shows 
qualities of distinction. These are for sale to those who wish to help 
in the work of testing them and determining which are really the best 
varieties for commercial planting, and who have not facilities for the 
growing of their own trees. If interested in any new variety, write us. 
We may have it. If not, we can grow it for you. 
CHESTNUTS 
FULLER—Originated here. The tree is a fine grower and good 
bearer. The nuts are of good size, sweet, finely grained and delicately 
flavored. They can be kept in good condition longer than any others. 
Matures late mid-season. Worthy of extensive planting for commercial 
purposes, and fine for home use. 
PROGRESS—Same parentage as Fuller. Excellent in quality and 
a prolific bearer. Its blooming and fruiting season is the same as that 
of Fuller, which makes it a good one to plant with that variety for 
cross-pollination. 
CHAMPION—Unsurpassed for vigor of growth, and an annual 
bearer. Nuts are light in color, good quality, and readily fall from the 
burrs. 
VAN FLEET—Originated by E. A. Riehl, and named for his friend 
Dr. Walter Van Fleet. The name was given with Dr. Van Fleet’s ap¬ 
proval, while he was connected with the Bureau of Plant Industry at 
Washington D. C. This nut is a medium-early variety. One of the 
best in quality, vigor of growth and bearing habits. 
GIRBENS—Earliest of all to ripen. About ten days earlier than 
any other known variety. The crop has ripened and been gathered as 
early as September 4th. The nuts are of medium size, very sweet and 
of a most beautiful chocolate color. Another of our choice seedlings 
worthy of propagation. 
BOONE—A Japanese-American hybrid originated by the late Geo. 
W. Endicott. An early bearing and early ripening variety. The tree is 
abundantly productive of large nuts that sell readily in our mid-western 
cities. (New York prefers small chestnuts.) 
EDWIN—A seedling of Boone. Similar to parent but ripens earlier. 
DAN PATCH—Another Boone seedling. Ripens later than Boone. 
Nuts larger, and tree a better grower.
