they prefer rich, fertile, well-drained soils. If soil is poor, it should be fertilized heavily if bes 
results are to be had. The vines bear the second year after planting and yield the most delicious of 
fruits.

its hardiness, so much cannot be said of any other variety of tree. The English Walnut is being
