our native black walnut. It is from these trees that 
the famous Circassian walnut lumber is obtained. 
The nut and kernel are practically the same as those 
of the English walnut of California, and in some cases, 
are even larger and of more pleasing flavor. 
•fa Even if they did not bear valuable nuts, they would 
be highly desirable in lawn and landscape planting 
for their ornamental value alone. The light colored 
bark and dark green, glossy, almost tropical looking 
foliage, give beauty and distinction to any setting. 
fa Before the Northern Nut Growers’ annual conven¬ 
tion at the State Agricultural Experiment Station in 
Geneva, N. Y. in September, 1936, Mr. Crath gave a 
detailed account of unusual interest on his observations 
of the Carpathian walnuts. He also exhibited nuts 
from the best varieties. Those who wish may read 
his complete address in the annual report of the As¬ 
sociation for that year. 
fa Wishing some point south of the Border where 
his trees could be distributed without the difficulty 
and delay occasioned in getting small shipments 
across, Mr. Crath has asked us to take sole charge 
of their distribution in the United States. They stand 
shipment and transplanting readily. We have trans¬ 
planted over seven hundred with a loss of less than 
one percent. They may be set out safely either in 
the fall or in the spring. The trees we have for sale 
were all grown for the first two years by Mr. Crath 
and have been transplanted once. They are all from 
his best stock. Before transplanting, the tops were 
cut back about two-thirds and the tap roots pruned 
to increase the development of side roots. Thus the 
tops are now only about one foot high but the root 
systems are large and vigorous and the trees will 
make rapid growth from now on.
