WENATCHEE MOORPARK — One of the 
leading commercial varieties of Eastern Wash¬ 
ington. 
NECTARINES 
The nectarine tree looks like a peach tree 
and the pit is like a peach pit. The skin, how¬ 
ever, is smooth, like that of a plum. The flesh 
is rich and smooth and has a flavor all its 
own. A most delicious fruit that is little known 
here, but which will thrive wherever the peach 
thrives. Every home planting should have a 
nectarine tree.

Simoni. Large cinnabar-red; flesh yellow with 
pineapple and banana flavor. Early July. 10c 
extra. 
Almost every farm contains land that should 
be planted to nut trees adapted to the soil. 
Nuts in many cases pay better than farm crops 
or fruits, while most kinds are making a 
growth of valuable timber that will of itself 
pay a large per cent on the investment. 
NUT TREES 
Our Specialty—Walnuts and Filberts 
We grow thousands of these yearly and you 
may be assured of getting the best that experi¬ 
ence and skill can produce. For best results, 
do not plant much deeper than two or three 
inches to what they grew in nursery; grafts 
should be above ground. Our trees are pur¬ 
posely grafted a little high as experience has 
demonstrated this to be best. 
FRANQUETTE WALNUT (grafted on black) 
—This variety is grown to the exclusion of all 
other varieties in the Northwest, is very large, 
long, coming to a sharp point, shell is hard 
but thin enough to hull easily and above all 
seals well, eliminating loss by molding; has 
proven to be a vigorous grower, young and 
prolific bearer, making a beautiful as well as 
profitable shade tree and has nearly eliminated 
the sale of all other trees used for shade before
