GRAFTED NUT TREES HARDY IN THE NORTH 
4T LAST we are able to offer our customers an opportunity to buy and enjoy the remarkable new hybrid nut trees. Hybrid- 
izers and experimenters have been working on this problem for years. Hardy types of both English Walnuts and Pecans 
are now available for the North. Delicious Black Walnuts withjeasily opened shells . . . Hybrid Hickories with haunting 
flavor previously unkown even to epicures . . . most amazing of all, these varieties will bear nuts as early as the third or fourth 
year after planting. The varieties we offer here have been thoroughly tested for some years. 
BLACK WALNUTS—IV 
(Juglans nigra) 
North America has more and finer native nut 
trees than any other continent. This Black Walnut 
is naturally one of our most stately and beautiful 
native trees and produces one of the finest nuts in 
the world. It is hardy in Canada and in Florida, 
growing well in any fertile well drained soil. But the 
grafted sorts grow faster and the nuts thinner shelled, 
with plump meat that comes out readily. The flavor 
is unique and is not lost in cooking (this can be said 
of no other nut). The new grafted varieties bear their 
first nuts sometimes in the second year after planting 
and commonly in the third to fifth year if the tree is 
properly fertilized. There are several varieties. 
Stabler has the thinnest shell. The meat falls out 
easily in halves or one piece and is of a rich mellow 
flavor. The tree makes a fine spreading specimen 
with unusually ornamental foliage. 
Thomas is a really rapid-growing tree, hardy 
and easy to grow. The meat is attractive and tasty, 
but does not crack as easily as the Stabler. 
ENGLISH WALNUTS—V 
(Juglans regia) 
If these be grafted on Black Walnut roots, the 
wood ripens much sooner than otherwise. Hence, 
such trees can stand much colder weather and are 
now doing well in New England and even Michigan 
Wiltz-Mayette is perhaps the best variety for 
all purposes. The shell can be cracked in the fingers. 
The meat is plump, white and not in the least 
bitter. It is a reliable bearer. The English Walnut 
requires a lime soil and where this is not natural, it 
is imperative that lime or crushed limestone be 
plentifully added to the planting soil. The first crop 
may be expected in four years. 
N O T E : Nut 
trees are seldom 
straight when 
young. There is 
a bend at the 
graft, at least. 
They will, how¬ 
ever, straighten 
out themselves 
though careful 
staking helps. 
Fertilize freely 
the second year.

BLIGHT RESISTANT 
CHESTNUTS—V 
The Chinese Chestnut (Castanea molissima) 
is larger than the American and of fine flavor and l 
sweet. It is inured to the Chestnut Blight. For prices 
of seedlings see page 5. 
Grafted Trees: Very much bettter nut-bearing. 
Bear about as soon as apples. We strongly recommend 
these. . 
HARDY PECANS—Zone Y 
The quality of the nuts in these varieties is in every 
way the equal of commercial Pecans. They will bear 
in three to five years. 
Busseron and Kentucky are the best varieties. 
It is advisable to plant one of each kind so that they 
will cross fertilize. Busseron is the best bearer, 
Kentucky best pollen. 
HYBRID HICKORIES 
Burlington (also called Marquardt) resembles the 
pecan as to the nut. The tree is very easily grown, a 
rapid grower and extremely hardy. Does well in Min¬ 
nesota. Very satisfactory tree and delicious flavor. 
Reliable early bearer. Zone V. 
McCallister is a unique tree. Nearly as thin shel¬ 
led as any pecan, but its flavor is that of the delicious 
wild shell-bark hickory. The nut is over two inches in 
length and is larger than any southern pecan. Foliage 
resembling the pecan—a beautiful tree. Irregular 
bearer. Zone V.

CARE OF NUT TREES 
Nut trees have large root systems—some of them have more root 
than top! You could not plant all the roots, they could not be packed 
or shipped—but must be pruned off. The tops should be pruned to 
make up for the loss of roots. We also wax the tops to prevent evapora¬ 
tion. The first two years mulch well with hay or straw and water if 
drought comes.

Blueberry Culture 
Blueberries require an acid soil containing peat 
or other rotted vegetable matter. They need 
moderate moisture and good drainage so that 
the roots can get air. 
Set the plants in beds 3 feet apart one way and 
4 to 5 feet the other way. Two varieties should be 
included in every planting, as an exchange of 
pollen is necessary to produce good crops of 
berries. 
The second year remove the flower buds in 
order to throw the full strength of the plants into 
the top and roots. The third summer the flower 
buds may be left and the plants should produce 
a good crop.
