Plants For Every Purpose 
Nut Trees 
Nut trees flourish in 
practically every State 
in the Union, but in late 
years the planting of 
Nut Trees has been 
sorely neglected, espe¬ 
cially in the Walnut va¬ 
rieties. You do not have 
to be a specialist to 
grow Walnut Trees for 
timber, as they will 
adapt themselves to 
practically any location, 
in the corner lot, in the 
back yard, along fences, 
all of these places are 
suitable for nut trees. 
When nut trees are i 
once established, you 
will have accomplished 
three things, adequate 
shade, nuts and if neces¬ 
sary good timber that will bring high prices. 
Nuts are not only ornamental, they are valuable for the 
nuts having high nutrition value. Tht trees make fine shade 
and of course you will have returns from the nuts you may 
sell at generally a good profit and have enough for your own 
use. 
ALMONDS 
Soft Shell. The well-known type grown commercially in 
California. Shell is very soft, meat is rich and sweet. 
Hard Shell. Not as much planted as the soft shell variety, 
however, the meat is rich and sweet and of good quality. 
BUTTERNUTS 
A type of nut that is used a great deal by manufacturers of 
candy and large bakeries ; the shell is very hard, the nuts ob¬ 
long shape, the meats very rich. We recommend planting 
butternuts where you wish good shade. The tree is long 
lived. 
/ FILBERTS (Hazel Nut) 
A variety of nut that is coming into prominence, these trees 
can be used as a hedge bearing when young. Nuts have a 
hard shell, the meats being very sweet. 
PECANS (Budded or Grafted) 
Care should be taken in the purchasing of Pecan Trees. 
It is disappointing when you buy a variety suitable for the 
section in which you live and when the tree comes into bearing 
have it be something else or probably only a seedling. Our 
Pecans are budded and grafted and care is taken to send out 
nothing but the best. 
Stuart. Large, averaging forty to fifty to the pound; shell 
moderately thin; cracking quality good; kernel bright, 
plump; flavor rich and good. Tree strong, upright, spread¬ 
ing grower and an abundant bearer. 
Schley. Medium to large, 1*4 to \% inches long; oblong, 
slightly flattened; shell thin; plump, rich flavor; good 
grower; one of the best. 
Moneymaker. Large, roundish, good. Tree a good grower 
and very productive; one of the earliest to come into bear¬ 
ing. There are many other well-known varieties, such as 
Russell, Bolton, Schley and others, but it seems to be the 
general opinion that there is nothing that will surpass 
Stuart, Van Deman and Moneymaker. 
WALNUTS 
American Black. The well-known variety of walnut; has a 
very hard shell; meat is very rich. This tree is highly 
prized for the valuable timber. A good tree to plant. 
English. The well-known walnut, easy to crack, meat is 
sweet and delicious. 
Japan. Shell harder than English, kernel sweet and good. 
Japan Walnut. English Walnut. 
Stuart Pecan. 
Pecans growing like this are profitable.
