HARDY NORTHERN NUT TREES 
More than 60 years ago Mr. E. A. Riehl began growing nut trees in an exper¬ 
imental way. Whenever he heard of a nut of superior size and quality, he pro¬ 
cured nuts or scions to carry on his work of improving the nuts of our northern 
states and testing the hardiness and productiveness of the trees. Since that time 
many others have become interested in the work. There can be no finer avocation 
for a professional or business man than a grove of hardy nut trees; and every 
farm would be enhanced in value by a few nut trees grouped near the buildings or 
growing in fence comers or other little unused plots of ground. We have found 
our nut trees so interesting as well as profitable, that we decided to help others 
to do likewise. We have established a small nursery entirely devoted to the pro¬ 
pagation of nut trees. Every year we graft a few trees of each of the most 
promising of the new varieties discovered by the U. S. Department of Agriculture 
and the Northern Nut Growers* Association. We send herewith a list of the avail¬ 
able trees in the nursery this season. They vary in size from one year whips that 
were grafted last April to three year old, branched trees. Because there are so 
many varieties and so few of each kind, we find it more convenient to price all 
sizes alike. Purchasers are asked to state their preference, and orders will be 
filled with trees nearest the size 
wanted .
