CORSICANA WALNUT NURSERY 
CORSICANA, TEXAS 
Thill-Shell Black Walnut —The King of Trees 
Yield big pieces of luscious rich meat—will often crack out in complete halves. Can be cracked with ordina ry screw pecan cracker. 
This tiee comes into commercial production earlier than Pecans—and seldom ever fails a crop—at this date I know nothing with a better future. 
Improved Black Walnut— America’s Fastest Growing and Most Expensive Hardwood 
y'- Commerce Repott More than I /2 billion feet of lumber is used yearly in American homes for furniture, 3 5 per cent 
being Walnut. Mahogany is second widi 25 per cent. Designers agree that Walnut is almost an ideal wood for furniture because it 
combines beauty, strength, and durability. Records show that it was used in King Solomon’s temple. Walnut ornaments have been found 
in the caves of Tennessee Mound Builders. Burls (abnormal growth where the grain is very irregular) are highly figured and used where 
beauty of pattern is desired. Even the stumps are in big demand. Walnut timber is very expensive and growing increasingly scarce. The 
Government reports there is one-fourth to one-third less standing Walnut than in 1920, Although it is America’s fastest growing hard- 
wood, the yearly cut is greater than the new growth.

TEXAS FOREST SERVICE REPORT 
There certainly seems to be a big demand for walnuts, both shelled and unshelled. In fact, it is almost impossible 
to obtain them on the market. Black walnut is unique in that it retains its flavor when cooked and keeps tasty 
and attractive while other nuts lose flavor. As far as we are able to determine, black walnut meat is higher than 
English walnuts, almonds, pecans, etc.” (Meats sold at $1.60 per pound, 1936.) 
The soil fertility requirements of walnuts are not as great as that required for i 
work report. 
U. S. GOVERNMENT REPORT 
Black walnuts may be profitably planted in unused, or waste places, fence corners, fence rows, along drives, in the 
yard and in orchards. 
Black Walnuts grow well in the North, South, East, and the West. My trees are growing in Pennsylvania, Indiana, 
Illinois, Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, Virginia, Alabama, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, New York, 
North Carolina, South Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Elonda, Iowa, Oregon, Minnesota, and many other states 
of the Union. This tree puts out well after most trees have full summer appearance—thus getting by late freezes. 
Its hardiness is due to its ability to bud late. We furnish many of these trees to Northern nurseries—so they must 
be satisfactory in the North. 
OKLAHOMA REPORT 
My trees bore the third year and for seven consecutive years have never had a crop failure. A few nuts were gath¬ 
ered the second year, with the fourth and fifth year returns being sufficient to pay the general upkeep of the 
orchard, and a steady increase in returns thereafter. They are satisfactory and I am adding to my ten acres. 
OUR SUPERIOR ROOT SYSTEM MAKES THE DIFFERENCE — TREES ARE DUG BY HAND AND 
SHIPPED FRESH, WELL PACKED TO KEEP 10 TO 15 DAYS 
For about $10.00 per acre a walnut orchard can be set that could make an indepndent living for you, your chil¬ 
dren and grandchildren. They can be set in the yard, in small plots, or in large orchards. T/jey grow money each 
year, increasing in nut and timber production 100 years and more. If set now they should produce their first crop 
in 2 to 3 years. 
Black Walnut trees do well in Denver, also on irrigated farms, and I have seen them in the foothills at 5,500 ft.

kinds of soils and with proper care and attention they will do well for you. We cannot guarantee them to live or 
continue growth after they leave our place. Eiowever, our reports from many scattered sections are very favorable, 
some saying they are doing better for them than at our own place, and they are doing fine for us.

Plainview, Tex.is, 1936.—I did not think it possible, but six of 
the 44 trees I have bore the first year, and although set during 
freezing weather in February, they all made good growth. I expect 
to get all the nuts 1 need for home use the second year.
