PECANS — Continued. 
Pecan tree* are long-lived. The average fruiting age for budded trees, which have grown off vigorously 
and received proper care, is three to four years. Such trees should yield from fifteen to fifty pounds each, 
per year, after being planted ten years. This tree is, therefore, a source of much revenue, and it is not 
subject to many diseases or insect depredations. For these remedies, see Page 4. 
Care of Trees When Received. — We take great care in preventing the roots of the trees from becoming 
dry when being dug. As soon as the tree is lifted from the ground it is immediately covered with a wet 
cloth and the roots well coated with clay before being forwarded. When the trees are received do not al¬ 
low the roots to be exposed to the air and become dry, but keep them moist. By following these directions, 
the loss in transplanting wiH be exceedingly small and success be assured. 
WALNUTS 
The best soil for Walnuts is a strong clay, rich and somewhat stony; hence, many acres of land which 
are difficult to cultivate for ordinary crops are available for Walnuts. Never plant these trees in pipe-clay 
or undrained soil.

This tree is becoming very scarce. Many young 
groves arc now being planted for timber purposes. 
You will make no m stake in planting a few hundred

Juglans cordiformis. Differs 
from 
the Juglans 
sieboldiana in form of nuts, which are 
broad, pointed and flattened. Nuts medium 
size, shell thinner than Sieboldiana, and if 
cracked longitudinally the kernel can be 
removed entire; the meat is of good quality. 
Tree a very vigorous grower; attains a great 
height and has a magnificent head. A very 
valuable acquisition; perfectly hardy. We 
consider this the best of the Japan Walnuts. 
Destined to become a valuable nut for 
market. 
Juglans sieboldianna. A native of the moun¬ 
tains of Japan. Extremely hardy and 
vigorous grower. Of symmetrical and beau¬ 
tiful form. Three-year-old trees in our 
nursery have produced nuts; wonderfully 
productive. Nuts produced in clusters of 
from 12 to 20 nuts each. Shell thicker 
than that of the English Walnut, but not 
so thick as that of the black. Meat is 
sweet and of the best quality. The tree 
has an abundance of fibrous roots, and 
transplants readily. 
Can supply Walnuts in immense quantities. 
Price per 1,000 will be given on application.

CULTURE—Blackberries thrive on almost any soil, but 
the most desirable is a strong loam, retentive of mois¬ 
ture, tending toward clay rather than sand, but soil 
must be well drained at all times. Fertilzers contain¬ 
ing a good proportion of potash are the most desirable; 
too much humus or nitrogen will induce a rank growth 
of wood at the expense of the fruit. As a preventive 
for rust, spray with copper sulphate solution during 
the fall and winter, and with Bordeaux (4-6-50) dur¬ 
ing the spring and summer. The rows should be 6 
to 8 feet apart and the plants from 3 to 4 feet in the 
row, according to the character of the soiV If desired 
to cultivate both ways, set the plants in checks 6 
to 7 feet each way. As soon as the fruiting season 
is past remove the old canes; these should be burned 
at once. The young canes should be clipped off when 
they reach the height of about 2 feet; this will cause 
them to branch and they will become self-supporting. 
Apply fertilizer during the late winter and give shal¬ 
low and constant cultivation.
