TO CUSTOMERS AND FRIENDS 
This catalogue is sent to past customers as a re¬ 
minder that I remember them and appreciate their 
business, and solicit their future orders; to prospective 
nut tree buyers as an invitation to become one of my 
customers. 
That my trees have given satisfaction is evidenced 
by the many testimonials from my customers. 
My young budded trees growing here have proven 
their quality by their early and prolific bearing. 
My nursery is located in the heart of the northern 
pecan tree territory in a soil especially adapted to 
growing nut trees where they grow an unusually good 
root system, making them easy to transplant and quick 
to start growth. 
Nut trees are the longest lived of all food producing 
trees, and once established require less care and at¬ 
tention than fruit trees, as they do not need to be 
sprayed and after the head of the tree is once formed 
little or no pruning is necessary. 
Budded or grafted trees bear early. An orchard of 
them in a few years should come into profitable bear¬ 
ing, and will last for a century or more. Plant only 
budded or grafted trees. 
My trees are budded or grafted from my own bear¬ 
ing trees, insuring them to be true to label. 
Before placing your order for nut trees, be sure you 
ae buying from a reliable nurseryman, who will sell 
you only budded or grafted trees of Hardy Northern 
varieties. 
The Northern Nut Growers’ Association issues a list 
of accredited nurseries where these trees may be 
bought. This list may be had by applying to the 
Secretary. 
Any information desired that is not given in the 
catalogue will be cheerfully given on request. 
My nursery is open for inspection at all times and 
visitors are always welcome.

DEMAND FOR NUTS 
The food value of nuts being better realized than 
in the past, are no longer considered a luxury but an 
important food article, and are being used by bakers, 
candy makers and most housewives. 
The United States annually imports millions of dol¬ 
lars worth of nuts, many of which should be grown 
at home.
