DISTANCE FOR PLANTING. Pecans and black walnuts 50 to GO feet 
apart; English walnuts 40 to 50 feet apart; filberts and almonds, 15 to 20 feet

Pecans, English and black walnuts do not need all of the room given them 
for 12 or 15 years, and fillers of smaller growing nut or fruit trees may be 
planted between them to good advantage; also any cultivated farm or garden 
crop may be planted between the trees, as they are little in the way of cultiva¬ 
tion for several years. 
TOP WORKING SEEDLING TREES. Those who have land with a natural 
growth of black walnuts, hickories or pecans, should write for a copy of my 
booklet on propagation and learn how to work these over to the improved 
varieties of the English and black walnuts, pecans, shagbarks, etc.

Important Information 
Nut culture, being a comparatively new industry, the purchaser of nut 
trees is dependent upon the nurseryman very largely for information and 
guidance. As a pioneer propagator of nut trees by budding and grafting, and 
with over twenty years experience in growing these trees, 1 am not only able 
to grow and supply the best trees to he had, but because of my long experi¬ 
ence and special study of nuts and nut culture I am in position to furnish 
those desiring to engage in this fascinating and profitable industry the host 
and most reliable information. From the beginning, I have taken great in¬ 
terest in all phases of nut culture and am a life member of both the National 
and the Northern Nut Growers Associations. I have traveled extensively In 
the interest of nut culture and with two objects in view; that of studying new 
and promising varieties of nuts at first hand and getting all the information 
possible that would he helpful to those depending upon me for reliable Infor¬ 
mation. 
The propagation of nut trees is a highly specialized work and one that 
must be learned from the “ground up" if one is to succeed. These trees can 
not be propagated by ordinary methods as employed in the propagation of 
fruit trees, and even with the methods that I have perfected, results are al¬ 
ways uncertain and not infrequently disappointing. The general nurserymen 
are not therefore propagating nut trees by budding or grafting and can hard¬ 
ly be expected to do so.
