More than 60 years ago Mr. E.A. Riehl began growing nut tre 
experimental way. Whenever he heard of a nut of superior s 
quality, he procured nuts or scions to carry on his work of 
the nuts of our northern states and testing the hardiness and 
iveness of the trees. Since that time many others have become intN^o* 
ested in the work. There can be no finer avocation for a profession 
or business man than a grove of hardy nut trees; and every farm would 
be enhanced in value by a few nut trees grouped near the buildings or 
growing in fence corners or other little unused plots of ground. We 
have found our nut trees so interesting as well as profitable, that we 
decided to help others to do likewise. We have established a small 
nursery entirely devoted to the propagation of nut trees. Every year 
we graft a few trees of each of the most promising of the new varieties 
discovered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Northern Nut 
Growers' Association. We send herewith a list of the available trees 
in the nursery this season. They vary in size from one year whips 
that were grafted last April to three year old, branched trees. Be¬ 
cause there are so many varieties and so few of each kind, we find it 
more convenient to price all sizes alike. Purchasers are asked to 
state their preference, and orders will be filled with trees nearest 
the size wanted.
