grafts of two varieties which are from trees from scion wood sent 
by the Rev. Crath to Prof. Neilson in the winter of 1930. 
BROADVIEW ENGLISH WALNUT 
This variety originated from a nut brought over from Russia 
and planted in British Columbia. The original tree has withstood 
temperatures of—25° F. and a grafted tree of this variety, grown by 
Mr. Carl Walker of Cleveland Heights, Ohio, where the minimum 
temperature during the winter of 1933-34 was—26° F., showed only 
slight injury which did not seriously damage the tree. This nut is 
of good size, thin shell and as good or better than the best of the 
California English Walnut. 
THE HICKORY 
Probably no nut holds as high a place in the affections of those 
who have gathered wild nuts and cracked them by the fireside as 
the Shagbark hickory except possibly the American Chestnut 
which is now practically extinct. 
THE SHAGBARK HICKORY (Carya ovata ) 
A good ornamental, while its leaves do not color as well as 
some of the other hickories yet its stately upright growth, with 
its shaggy bark is an indispensable part of our landscape. 
THE HICKORY HYBRIDS 
While they should not supercede the Shagbark as an orna¬ 
mental they do supplement it, while in stately upright growth 
they strongly resemble the Shagbark. They are more rapid in 
growth and the foliage colors somewhat better in the Fall. But 
they lack that shaggy bark which is so well associated with the 
hickory. 
While we have more than 90 different named varieties of 
hickories and hickory hybrids growing in one test orchard we are 
at present propagating for sale only a few of the very best varieties 
which we are sure will mature their crop in this climate and the 
nuts crack well, many of the kernels coming out in whole halves. 
THE BLACKWALNUT (Juglans nigra) 
While the black walnut is probably of least value of any of 
the nut trees as an ornamental it does make a good roadside tree 
and the superior varieties which we have to offer furnish large 
crops of valuable nuts. These superior varieties crack well, a large 
percentage of the kernels coming out in whole quarters. As with 
the hickories, while we have a good many named varieties of black 
walnuts growing in our test plantings, we offer for sale in the 
northeast only those varieties which we are sure will mature their 
crop in this climate. We inclose with this booklet a list of trees 
which we have for sale this year. The black walnut tree produces 
very valuable lumber.
