NUT TREES 
A Dish of Thomson English Walnuts 
Thomson English Walnut. These walnut 
--—--——-— - trees we offer for 
sale are known as the Thomson. They have been thoroughly 
acclimated and inured to cold climates by being grown here 
subjected to our cold winters. A fairly safe rule in judging 
as to whether or not your climate and soil are suited to these 
trees is to. plant only on land that will grow the apple or 
similar fruit successfully, yet where the climate is not too 
severe to grow and fruit the peach successfully. 
. The largest bearing orchard of which we have information 
is owned by Mr. Thomson, and is located a few miles outside 
of Rochester. It consists of 225 trees planted on 11 acres. 
The nuts from this.orchard sell at prices so profitable that 
Mr. Thomson’s son is planting a large orchard of this variety 
for himself. 
The older and larger the English walnut trees get, the 
harder they are to transplant, so we do not advise planting 
trees that are too large. 
Black Walnut. The well known black walnut pro- 
--—-- duces heavy crops of large, oily 
nuts that are relished by all persons who are familiar with 
them. The tree grows quite fast and its dark, rich wood is 
exceedingly valuable. Great interest has been taken of late 
in the black walnut on account of its wood coming into 
fashion by furniture makers. It is used largely for gun stocks 
and .it is difficult now to get enough black walnut timber. 
Butin addition to the value of its wood the black walnut is an 
attractive nut, more highly flavored than any nut I can 
think of, and most nutritious on account of its oily flesh. 
We all recall the black walnuts growing on the homestead 
farm when we were boys. 
Japan Walnut. (Siebold.) This is a very hardy 
-----— variety, will stand 20 degrees 
below zero without injury, a rapid growing, handsome tree 
which bears young and abundantly. The shell is but a little 
thicker than that of the English walnut, the meat of which 
comes out whole and is of excellent quality. This variety 
begins to bear when two or three years old. 
But ternut. A fine native, tree, producing a large, 
■ —- longish nut, which is prized for its sweet 
01 * i i a i nu ^ ntlou . s kernel. The tree grows rapidly and 
yields..large crops in a. few years. You well remember the 
glad days of autumn in boyhood times when you gathered 
these thick meated nuts and stored them for winter use. 
the butternut has never been appreciated. It has been 
too common and too easily secured. Of late years interest 
has been revived in the old fashioned butternut, which is 
most nourishing and appetizing. It bears marvelous quanti¬ 
ties of nuts of large size. 
Jri£lZ6lnUt. (Filbert.)^ Hazelnuts are very easy to 
—— -- grow, in fact can be grown far easier than 
potatoes or wheat. They are perfectly hardy and will strug- 
g e along in spite of neglect. They bear early and abund- 
antly. . 1 he nuts should not be gathered until ripe, the con¬ 
dition indicated by the browning of the edges of the husks, 
livery city and country home should have some of these 
trees.

American Swee t Chestnut. By far the most 
7c i ] ‘ ----:-- popular variety 
or chestnut. Nuts of this variety are of large size, very 
sweet with nutty flavor. This chestnut is a grand timber and 
ornamental shade tree, making a most beautiful specimen 
tor the lawn. The tree succeeds on any fairly well drained 
soil, also on stony land where little else will grow. No col¬ 
lection of nut tree's is complete without some of this variety.
