Hardiness of Nut Trees 
I grow only hardy, northern varieties of nut trees. All trees offered are 
grown here in my Pennsylvania Nurseries and arc perfectly hardy and reliable. 
The extreme cold winter of 1917-18 was a severe test, but I did not lose 
any trees from frost and none had any protection whatever. Spring, 1918, 
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 badly, 
many orchards being killed.
