WILTZ MAYETTE. 
An extra fine diamond 
brand quality nut and 
fortunately a very 
hardy and reliable tree. 
Because it vegetates 
late it is less apt to be 
injured by frost than 
other English walnuts. 
The shell is thin, nut 
smooth and kernel 
large, light colored and 
of fine flavor. 
ALPINE. The orig¬ 
inal tree stood in Lan¬ 
caster. Shell slightly 
rough. Doing fine here 
in bearing and hardi¬ 
ness of tree. 
SPRAY 
Because of the ten¬ 
der leaves of the Eng¬ 
lish walnut they are 
subject to attack of 
Leaf Hoppers and bac¬ 
terial blight. In iso¬ 
lated sections it will not 
be necessary to spray 
trees, but if you have 
trouble getting your 
English walnuts started 
because of avoidable 
pests we feel it is 
worthwhile to have this 
information immediate¬ 
ly. For bacterial blight 
or leaf spot use Bordeaux. This can be bought already mixed in small quan¬ 
tities. For leaf hoppers or other leaf sucking insects use 40 per cent nico¬ 
tine solution at the rate of 1 tsp. to 1 gallon of spray mixture. For leaf 
eating insects use Arsenate of Lead at the rate of V 2 oz. to one gallon of spray 
mixture. We usually use the Bordeaux mixture as our base spray and add 
the poisons when necessary. Never spray trees in the heat of the day. It is 
best to delay spray operations after the temperature has reached 85 degrees. 
IMPROVED ROOT SYSTEMS 
Although conditions here are very favorable for both root and top 
development, we greatly improve the root system by an improved method 
of transplanting the young trees. Such trees have more compact and larger 
root systems. Transplantings add considerably to the cost of the trees but 
this is necessary if the trees are to be transplanted successfully by the pur¬ 
chaser later on.
