Sifford Black Walnut Japanese Heartnut 
AMERICAN BLACK WALNUT 
Juglans nigra 
The American Black Walnut is Amer¬ 
ica’s finest timber tree, producing the fin¬ 
est of cabinet wood. A striking lawn tree, 
it is one of the few under which grass 
thrives. As a fruit tree, its nuts are without 
a rival for flavoring cakes, ice cream and 
confectionary. 
During a search covering a number 
of years we have discovered a number of 
black walnuts that score as high or higher 
than the older named varieties. Of these 
we offer the following: 
SIFFORD, from the mountains of 
Virginia, we consider the best black wal¬ 
nut we have ever seen. The thin-shelled 
nuts are large, running 19 to the pound. 
The kernel runs 31 % ; the average common 
nut runs 15% kernel. It hulls out clean 
and cracks exceptionally well. 
PINECREST, from the mountains of 
Central Pennsylvania, is very similar in 
size, shape and cracking quality to the Sif¬ 
ford. The kernel percentage is 29%. New 
growth matures early, with thick, sturdy 
twigs. We strongly recommend it for more 
northern areas. 
THE JAPANESE HEARTNUT 
Juglans Sieboldiana cordiformis 
The HEARTNUT is a sport of the Jap¬ 
anese walnut. The tree is of spreading 
habit, with leaves much like the butternut. 
The heart-shaped nuts, which grow in 
abundant clusters, taste much like the 
English walnut, tho milder. We offer the 
Walters, a large, hardy variety from Brit- 
TshXolumbia.
