GUARANTEE 
We guarantee all trees sent out to be of the size 
and quality specified, but we cannot possibly guarantee 
positive results with our trees after they leave our hands. 
If we would guarantee to replace trees that did not grow 
for some reason or other the trees would generally be 
neglected for this very reason. The prices of the trees 
would have to be advanced to take care of this loss of 
careless planting and neglect. We are careful to see that 
all trees sent out are well grown, true to label and in 
condition to grow, but since we have no influence over conditions surround¬ 
ing the trees or over their planting and care after they leave our hands, we 
cannot assume responsibility for any losses resulting from failure to make 
the trees grow for any reason. If customers receive trees from us which 
are not satisfactory in every way they should advise us at once; we can 
then make a satisfactory adjustment.

YIELDS AND PROFIT 
We are often asked how much certain trees will bear in a given time 
and the amount in money a person can realize for the crop. No one can 
tell what any certain tree or trees will bear at a given age, because condi¬ 
tions are too varied, but we can estimate the crop in a general way. Good 
budded or grafted trees of good bearing varieties of nut trees when properly 
planted and cared for until the trees are well established will begin bearing 
about as early as the apple and should produce profitable crops as soon 
as the trees are large enough to carry good crops of nuts. On rich land this 
should be about as early as the apple. 
It is conservatively estimated that if one plant 1000 good grafted trees 
of the black walnut and give the trees proper care until established they will 
return a net profit of $3,000. at 10 to 12 years of age. If the nuts are cracked
