BLACK WALNUTS—Zone IV (Bears in Zone V) 
North America has more and finer native nut trees than any 
other continent. This Black Walnut is naturally one of our 
most stately and beautiful native trees and produces one of the 
finest nuts in the world. It is hardy in Canada and in Florida, 
growing well in any fertile well drained soil. But the grafted 
sorts grow faster and the nuts thinner shelled, with plump 
meat that comes out readily. The flavor is unique and is not 
lost in cooking (this can be said of no other nut). The new 
grafted varieties bear their first nuts sometimes in the second 
year after planting and commonly in the third to fifth year if 
the tree is properly fertilized. There are several varieties: 
Stabler has the thinnest shell. The meat falls out easily in 
halves or one piece and is of a rich mellow flavor. The tree 
makes a fine spreading specimen with unusually ornamental 
foliage. 3 to 4 ft. and 6 to 7 ft. only. 
Thomas is a really rapid-growing tree, hardy and easy to 
grow. The meat is attractive and tasty, but does not crack as 
easily as the Stabler. All sizes.

ENGLISH WALNUT—Zone V 
If these be grafted on Black Walnut roots, the wood ripens 
much sooner than otherwise. Hence, such trees can stand much 
colder weather. 
Wiltz-Mayette is perhaps the best variety for all purposes. 
The English Walnut requires a lime soil and where this is not 
natural, it is imperative that lime or crushed limestone be 
plentifully added to the planting soil. The first crop may be 
expected in four years.

BLIGHT-RESISTANT CHESTNUTS 
Chinese Chestnut (Castanea mollissima). Larger than the 
American, of fine flavor, and sweet. It is inured to the 
Chestnut blight. For seedling prices see page 4. 
All Grafted Trees. Very much better nut-bearing. Bear about 
as soon as apples. We strongly recommend these.

HARDY PECANS 
The quality of the nuts in these varieties is in every way 
the equal of commercial Pecans. They will bear in three to 
five years. Mixed grafted varieties (differences are slight):

HYBRID HICKORIES 
Burlington (also called Marquardt). Resembles the pecan as 
to the nut. Delicious flavor. The tree is very easily grown, 
a rapid grower, and extremely hardy. Reliable early bearer. 
McCallister. Unique tree. Nearly as thin-shelled as any pecan, 
but its flavor is that of the delicious wild Shellbark Hickory. 
The nut is over 2 inches in length. Foliage resembling the 
pecan—a beautiful tree. Irregular bearer. 
All Hickories very scarce this year. Write us for prices or 
further information. 
CARE OF NUT TREES 
Nut trees have large root-systems. They must be pruned off. 
The tops, pruned to make up for the loss of roots. The first 
two years mulch well with hay or straw and water if drought 
comes. Keep all side buds from developing into useless low 
branches. Branches should not start below 7 feet. Do not 
plant deeper than they were in nursery. 
ACTUAL BEARING RECORDS: Trees do not bear well as far north as they will live. Roughly speaking, 
about one zone warmer; or, figured another way, they bear wherever Peaches will bear. 
Grafted trees are crooked 
when young. They will out¬ 
grow this in a few years and 
make straight trunks.

RIBES (Gooseberry, Currant) 
These shrubs act as hosts to the White 
Pine Blister Rust. The disease may 
spread half a mile. It does not harm 
Ribes, but kills White Pines. Yet it 
cannot thrive without Ribes. Zone II. 
All prefer heavy soils.
