A 
FRANQUETTE POMEROY 
VARIETIES (Continued) 
Mayette. A standard variety, well tested. The 
Grenoble nut of commerce. Being the highest 
priced walnut in France, cheaper grades are 
often mixed with it, causing much dissatisfaction 
among the importers of nuts as well as the con¬ 
sumers. A dessert nut of highest quality, sweet 
and nutty in flavor. Blooming very late, it is 
safe from late frosts. A most desirable variety 
to plant. 
Mayo. Originated in 
Rochester. A safe 
and reliable variety 
to plant in zero cli¬ 
mates. Bears at four 
years of age; nut 
round, full meated, 
fine quality, thin shell. 
Tree a rapid grower, 
blooms late. Nuts 
are ripe and fall from j 
tree in September. 
We believe this va¬ 
riety will give com- 
p 1 e t e satisfaction 
with no losses, if given 
intelligent care. 2-3 
ft. $1 each; $10 per doz.; $60 per 100; 3-4 ft. 
$1.50 each; $15 per doz.; $75 per 100; 5-6 ft

Pomeroy. An acclimated, hardy variety. Origi¬ 
nated 30 miles west of Rochester. A fine, lofty- 
growing tree with handsome, spreading head; 
produces large crops of thin-shelled, delicious 
nuts which are always in demand at good prices. 
$1 each; $10 per doz.; $60 per 100. 
Thompson. Origin, Avon, N. Y. (See cut of 
orchard, page 9.) A strong growing, ironclad 
variety, safe and reliable. A commercial nut 
for severe climates; sweet and delicious, selling 
at wholesale from 4 to 6 cents more per pound 
in Rochester markets than the California or 
French nuts. 
OTHER WALNUTS 
American Black. The large, oily nuts are borne 
in heavy crops. They are much relished by all 
persons, old and young, and always sell at a 
fair price. The tree grows quite fast; its dark, 
rich wood is exceedingly valuable. 5-7 ft., 75 cts. 
each; $7.50 per doz.; $50 per 100. 
Cordiformis (/. Cordiformis). A choice variety; 
grows with great vigor, forming a handsome 
head without pruning, and has withstood a 
temperature of 20 degrees below zero without j 
injury. The shell is but little thicker than I 
that of the English walnuts. The meats come 
out whole, and are of excellent quality. The 
tree begins to bear when three to five years old 
and should be planted extensively.

ENGLISH WALNUT ON BLACK WALNUT 
CONCORD FRANQUETTE MAYETTE 
Strong, vigorous trees, grafted or budded, 2-3 
ft., $2 each; $18 per doz. 
We are prepared to supply our customers with 
English walnut of the above three choice varieties, 
grafted or budded upon black walnut, but pur¬ 
chasers must be willing to suffer some disappoint¬ 
ment and loss. It is an established fact that black 
walnut does not transplant as easily as English 
walnut, and it also appears that the graft grows so 
rapidly that there is a sponginess about it which 
creates a critical condition should a hot, dry season 
follow the planting.
