t) 
Many farms have waste land that if planted to nut bearing trees would, in a 
few years, yield more clear profit than do the farm crops now grown on the 
entire farm.

Soil, Locations and Climatological Data 
Some people seem to think that to succeed with nut trees requires some 
particular kind of soils or location. The fact is, most of the nut bearing trees 
are less exacting in their soil and climatic requirements than are our more 
common fruit trees, and these trees will often succeed where fruit trees would 
fail. This is especially true of the black walnut, heart nut and pecan. These 
trees are doing well in many cases on the heavy black soils of Ind., Ill., Iowa, 
Mo., and Kans., where few fruit trees can be grown, also on a great variety of 
soils, including light sandy soils, if the fertility of the soil is kept up. 
THE BLACK WALNUT grows naturally from Canada to Florida, and from 
Maine to the Great Divide, and on about all kinds of soils and locations. The 
climate of Colorado is especially trying on trees but the black walnut is doing 
well there. My grafted trees are also doing well in Washington and Oregon. 
THE HEART NUT is a sport or variation from the Japanese walnut, 
juglans sieboldii. The tree is very hardy and does well from Canada to Florida, 
and it is believed it will do well anywhere the black walnut grows. 
THE NORTHERN PECANS are as hardy as the other hickories and in this 
regard should not be confused with the southern pecan. In a wild or natural 
state, the pecan grows from Terre Haute, Ind., and Clinton, Iowa, on the north, 
to the Gulf Coast on the south. The tree grows in the river bottoms and will 
succeed on land that is too low and damp for most trees. Because of this, it
