English Walnut.—The common variety grown from large selected nuts. 
Price, $10 to $20 per 100, according to size. 
Large English Walnut.—Very thrifty grower. Produces nuts of about 
twice the average size. Very uniform in size and shape. The finest-looking 
walnut which we have ever seen. Kernel sweet and pleasant. Price, $25 per 100. 
Japan Walnut. — A thrifty grower and a regular bearer. Moderately thin 
shell. Kernel has a pleasant flavor similar to the butternut. Price, 50 cents each. 
California Soft Shell Walnut.—The new California Soft Shell Walnut is 
worthy of being extensively planted. The trees commence hearing when only four 
or five years old , and bear full crops every year ; they are upright growers, and 
may be planted closer than the old kinds. They are the best trees to plant where 
other walnuts are troubled with late spring frosts, as they do not start to grow or 
bloom as early by ten days as other varieties, and the fruit ripens a little earlier. 
The nuts bring four or five cents a pound more than the common English Walnut. 
The shell can be easily broken by the hand. The meat is white and unusually 
sweet. Price, 25 cents each ; $20 per 100. 
Praeparturiens; or Early-bearing Walnut.—A variety of the English Wal¬ 
nut which bears when three or four years old. The nuts are of good size, and the 
flavor is excellent. Price, 50 cents to 75 cents each, according to size. 
Hickory Nut.—This succeeds very well in some localities where the ground 
is moist and rich. Price, $10 per 100. 
Pecan Nut.—A vigorous grower, and it appears to be perfectly at home in 
California. Pecan timber is very valuable. The tree is also profitable for the 
nuts, which are imported in large quantities. Price, $10 per 100. 
Eastern ; or Sweet Chestnut. — Promises to be valuable for timber and 
nuts, which are now imported at great expense. Price, $10 per 100.

China Chestnut. — The trees and nuts very closely resemble the Spanish 
Chestnut. Price, 25 cents each ; $20 per 100.

sweeter and better than the Eastern “Sweet Chestnut.” The trees commence 
bearing in California when only four or five years old. It is superior to all other 
chestnuts in every respect. Price, 40 cents each ; $4 per dozen, $30 per 100.

wood is valuable for cabinet work. Like all the other nut trees it commences to 
bear younger than it does in its eastern home. Price, 25 cents each.
