Michigan Banana 
or Custard Apple 
The Michigan Banana or Paw Paw is a small hand¬ 
some tree about 20 feet in height, with large purple 
flowers, which are very beautiful and fragrant, and 
large dark green foliage which makes it a handsome 
tree for the park or lawn. Produces large yellow 
fruits which have the flavor of the banana and are 
very delicious. These fruits also resemble the ba¬ 
nana, being somewhat shorter and thicker. The 
trees are very hardy and can be grown in all sections 
of the United States. Should be planted in every 
lawn and garden. 2 to 3-foot trees, 75c each; 3 for 
$2.00; 5 for $3.00; or 10 or more at 50c each, post¬

WALNUTS 
Walnuts are becoming more popular each year with bakers, candj r 
makers and ice cream manufacturers. They will grow in nearly all 
sections of the United States. They will thrive with little or no atten¬ 
tion and if planted along fence rows, take up very little of your tillable 
land. While Walnut seedlings produce satisfactory results, we rec¬ 
ommend planting grafted trees where early bearing and quality are 
desired. We have selected two of the best varieties to offer to our 
customers this season. 
BUTTERNUT 
(White Walnut) 
The nuts are large, long, oily and nutri¬ 
tious. A lofty, spreading tree, valued as a 
shade tree and for its beautiful wood as well 
as for its nuts. 2 to 3 feet, 50c each, post¬ 
paid. By express, not prepaid, 4 to 6 feet, 
80c; 6 to 8 feet, $1.30. 
Native Black Walnut 
THOMAS. The nut is very large, thin shell, has a very fine flavor and cracks out 
almost 90% whole halves and quarters. Grows much faster than the seedling trees 
and usually begins to bear a few nuts the second year after transplanting. 3 to 4-ft. 
trees, by express, not prepaid, $2.25 each. 
OHIO. Medium in size, thin shell, good bearer and fine quality. Wonderful crack¬ 
ing quality. In most cases the meats can be removed in whole halves. 4 to 6-ft. 
trees, by express, not prepaid, $2.50 each. 
Hardy English Walnut 
Our English Walnut trees are hardy, will stand more cold than peaches, and will 
produce good crops of nuts which are in every way equal to the California product. 
There is very little labor connected with the harvesting of English Walnuts—simply 
gather the nuts from the ground when they fall. No shucking—simply pick them up 
and put them in sacks and they are ready for use. No other work connected 
with harvesting. These trees have been thoroughly tested. We can recom¬ 
mend them for planting in Michigan, New York and other Northern and 
Eastern States as well as in the South and West. The English Walnut equals 
the maple as a shade tree. 18 to 24 inches, $1.00 each, postpaid. By express, 
not prepaid, 3 to 4 feet, $1.50; 4 to 6 feet, $1.75. 
Japanese Walnut 
Of the finer imported Walnuts the Japanese is the species best adapted by its 
hardy, vigorous habit for general culture in our country. It grows with great 
vigor, assuming a handsome shape without pruning, and has withstood a tem¬ 
perature of 21 degrees below zero without injury. Its nuts are considerably 
larger than the common hickory-nut, and are borne in clusters of fifteen to 
twenty. The shell is a little thicker than that of the English Walnut, which it 
resembles in a general way. The kernels are meaty and of rich, delicate flavor. 
It is a handsome shade tree. 2 to 3 feet, 85c each, postpaid. By express, not 
prepaid, 4 to 6 feet, $1.25; 6 to 8 feet, $1.50. 
Hazel Nuts for the North 
The Rush Hazel is the best variety we have found for the North. The nuts 
are of fair size, excellent quality, very productive and free from insect pests. 
Instead of growing in bush form, as most Hazels, this variety develops into a 
very ornamental tree, about 18 feet high, with drooping habits Makes a fine 
ornamental specimen for the lawn. 18 to 24-inch stock, $1.50 each, postpaid. 
A native tree of large size and majestic 
form. The most valuable of all trees for its 
timber, bringing the very highest price in 
market. The tree is a fairly rapid grower, 
makes a good shade tree, and the large, oily 
nuts are of fine flavor and marketable at a 
fair price. 2 to 3 feet, 50c each, postpaid. 
By express, not prepaid, 4 to 6 feet, 80c 
6 to 8 feet, $1.30; 8 to 10 feet, $1.75.
