The above, from a photo, September, 1923, shows one of the 11 year 
I'.uglish Walnut trees on the grounds of Mr. J. G. Rush. This tree bore 
three bushels of nuts. 
My Hardy Grafted English Walnut Trees More Than 
Fulfilling My Claims! 
These trees, in both handiness and performance, have more than fulfilled 
my earlier claims for them;—claims that not only critics but perhaps some 
of my good friends felt were extravagant. 
When I made the statement that the Pacific Coast States had no 
monopoly on this nut; that it could and would, be produced just as cheaply 
and of just as good quality in the eastern states, “Doubting Thomas!” there 
were aplenty who were more than willing to give every one the “Horse 
Laugh” who was foolish enough to even think of growing English walnuts 
in the eastern or northern states. They said that the trees could not be 
hardy, that they were tender even in California, and that even should they 
prove hardy, the trees would bear only a few inferior nuts. I no longer 
have to argue my side of the case, the trees are doing it for me!
