“Last fall I bought from J. F. Tones, The Nut Specialist., Lancaster, Pa., 
one Japanese Heart Nut (iuglans cordiformis) and planted it in my experi¬ 
mental grounds at Brentwood, Md., in Nov. 1019. It was two feet tall; a half¬ 
inch in diameter, and grafted by Jones spring 1919. This spring, at one year 
from the graft, it put on five catkins. I let them grow about an inch long, as 
a curiosity and to show friends, and then pinched them off, not to endanger 
the development of the young tree. That, however, did not end it as when the 
foliage developed each cluster disclosed a group of little nutlets, 12 to 15 to 
each cluster. There were five clusters, actually seventy nuts, determined to 
materialize, pressing for expression on the stage of life. How is this for early 
bearing of grafted nut trees? Of course I reluctantly pinched them off. I 
have two Stabler grafted black walnuts and one Rush English walnuts two 
years set, bearing nuts. Three nuts on one Stabler and two on another and 
one on the Rush.”

“The trees arrived today and they arc certainly nice ones. The root system 
is wonderful. I had gotten some pecan trees from another nursery before I 
learned of you and when I think of the poor clubs for roots that they had, I feel 
like tearing them all out and planting others. However, since they are planted 
I will let them go and see what happens.” 
Signed G. A. Zimmerman, M. D., Harrisburg, Pa., April 22nd, 1921. 
“The Lancaster Heart Nut tree purchased from you about 18 months ago 
produced seven fine nuts this autumn. We are all delighted.” 
Signed Mrs. J. Norman Henry, North East, Md., Nov. 8th, 1920. 
“Will you kindly send me several of your catalogues, as so many people 
who come here to visit our poultry plant get greatly interested in the many 
fine English walnut and pecan trees that we have giowing, and always ask 
where they can get the trees. I gave away the last catalogue I had yesterday.” 
Signed E. L. Wyckoff, Aurora, N. Y., Aug. 8th, 1921. 
NOTE: Mr. Wyckoff has been buying trees from me for several years. 
“I am enclosing check herewith for $21.94 and I want to tell you that the 
trees I rec’d from you were the finest 1 ever got anywhere. The way you 
pack them is perfect, and if a fellow has the holes dug, there is nothing to do 
but to put it in and throw in the dirt. You put in one extra tree for which you 
did not charge me.” 
Signed Rob’t White, New Castle, Pa., May 6th, 1921. 
“The walnut trees from you arrived in very good condition.” 
Signed P. W. Wang, Kinsan Arboretum, Chuking, 
Kiangsu Provence, China. 
“The six pecan trees from you brought in by the S. S. Hypatia arc abso¬ 
lutely the best in condition of any I have ever imported. My friend, the Gov't 
Entomologist who inspected them, told me that they were the best trees he 
had seen brought into the Union. * * * Now, twenty days after their ar¬ 
rival, the trees have shoots four inches long to tip of leaf.” 
Signed H. G. Hean, Durban, British Union, South Africa, March 25, 1920. 
NOTE: The last two testimonials are surely evidence enough that wc 
know how to pack trees. Some people seem to doubt my being able to deliver 
them a few hundred miles in good condition, while the fact is I ship them all 
over the world.
