Hardiness of Nut Trees 
1 grow only hardy, northern varieties of nut trees for northern planting 
AH trees offered are grown here in my Pennsylvania Nurseries and are per¬ 
fect!} hatd> and reliable. Much harm has been done the northern nut industry 
by a few northern nurseries selling southern pecan and other unreliable trees 
The extreme cold winter of 1917-1S was a severe test, but [ did not lose 
any trees from frost and none had any protection whatever. Spring, 191$. 
many reports came in from customers expressing surprise and satisfaction 
with the hardiness of my hardy budded and grafted trees. Several, customers 
in Michigan and New York reported that their English walnut trees from here 
went through the winter in good condition while apple trees suffered badlv. 
many orchards being killed. With the exception of the hardshell almond and 
the hlbert, I have always regarded the English walnut as less hardy than anv 
other nut that I propagate, and rho ? r hardier than the app‘le in these 
Instances more than fulfils my claims for them
