Superb Apricot 
Hardy Apricots 
In shape and color the Apricot resembles the Peach, but in 
texture and snioothness of its skin, it is more like the plum. It 
has a most delicious flavor and is much prized for eating fresh, 
canning and drying. 
Our Northern grown Apricots are budded on plum and are much 
hardier than Southern stock and longer lived than those budded 
on peach. Two trees are recommended for better pollination to 
insure an abundant crop. 
MOORPARK. The finest quality of any Apricot grown. Large 
orange-yellow fruit with red cheek. Juicy, rich and sweet. Free¬ 
stone. Kipens in August. Hardy but not recommended in the far 
North because of frost damage to the early flowers. 
SUPERB. The hardiest variety. Hardier than the Peach and the 
fruit ripens a month earlier. The latest Ai)ricot to bloom and is 
recommended for localities where late frosts may damage earlier 
blooming varieties. Fruit medium size and of a golden-salmon 
color. Cood quality, fine flavor and freestone. Ripens in July.

WALNUTS 
Walnuts arc becoming more popular each year with bakers, candy 
makers and ice cream manufacturers. They will grow in nearly all 
sections of the United States. They will thrive with little or no atten¬ 
tion and if planted along fence rows, take up very little of your tillable 
land. While Walnut seedlings produce satisfactory results, we rec¬ 
ommend planting grafted trees where early bearing and quality are 
desired. We have selected two of the best varieties to offer to our 
customers this season. 
BUTTERNUT. 
(White Walnut) 
The nuts are large, long, oily and nutri¬ 
tious. A lofty, spreading tree, vahied as a 
siiade tree and for its beautiful wood as w'ell 
as for its nuts. 2 to 3 feet, 50c each, post¬ 
paid. By express, not prepaid, 4 to 6 feet, 
80c: 6 to 8 feet, $1.30. 
Native Black Walnut 
THOMAS. The nut is very large, thin shell, has a very fine flavor and cracks out 
almost 90% whole halves and quarters. Grows much faster than the seedling trees 
.and usually begins to bear a few nuts the second year after transplanting. 3 to 4 ft. 
trees, by express, not prepaid, $2.25 each. 
OHIO. Medium in size, thin shell, good bearer and fine quality. Wonderful crack¬ 
ing quality. In most cases the meats can- be removed in whole halves. 4 to 6 ft. 
.tioes, by express, not prepaid, $2.50 each. 
Hardy English Walnut 
Our English Walnut trees are hardy, will stand more cold than peaches, and will 
produce good crops of nuts which are in every way equal to the California product. 
There is very little labor connected with the harvesting of English Walnuts — simply 
-gather the nuts from the ground when they fall. No .shucking — simply pick them up 
and put them in sacks and they are ready for use. No other 
vork connected with harvesting. These trees have been thor¬ 
oughly tested. We can recommend them for planting in 
Michigan, New York and other Northern and Eastern States 
as well as in the South and West. The English Walnut equals 
the maple as a shade tree. 18 to 24 inches, $1.00 each, post¬ 
paid. By express, not prepaid, 3 to 4 feet, $1.50; 4 to 6 
•feet, $1.75. 
Japanese Walnut 
Of the finer imported Walnuts the Japanese is the species 
best adapted by its hardy, vigorous habit for general cul¬ 
ture in our country. It grows with great vigor, assuming a 
handsome shape without pruning, and has withstood a tem¬ 
perature of 21 degrees below zero without injury. Its nuts 
are considerably larger than the common hickory-nut, and 
are borne in .clusters of fifteen to twenty. The shell is a lit¬ 
tle thicker than that of the English Walnut, which it re¬ 
sembles in a general way. The kernels are meaty, delicate, 
and can be removed entire. It is a handsome .shade tree. 
2 to 3 feet, 85c each, postpaid. By express, not prepaid, 
4 to 6 feet, $1.25; 6 to 8 feet, $1.50. 
.V native tree of large size and majestic 
form. The most valuable of all trees for its 
timber, bringing the very highest price in 
market. The tree is a fairly rapid grower, 
makes a good shade tree, and the large, oily 
nuts are of fine flavor and marketable at a 
fair price. 2 to 3 feet, 50c each, postpaid. 
Bv express, not prepaid, 4 to 6 feet, 80c; 
6 to 8 feet, $1,30; 8 to 10 feet, $1,75. 
Owing to quarantines, the 
different varieties of Wal¬ 
nut trees cannot be shipped into California 
or Arizona; and Pecans cannot be shipped 
into California, Arizona and Utah. 
NOTICE 
HARDY PECANS 
$1 Each 
Northern grown Pecans are just as 
hardy as the hickories and should not 
be confused with Southern grown stock.

withstood a temperature of 17 to 20 
degrees below zero without injury. 
They are ideal for shade trees as they

the fall. 4 to 6 ft. trees, $1.00 each,
