Nut Trees for Profit and Shade 
Hardy Pecan 
Nut trees will provide an abundance of shade and produce large crops of nuts. There 
is room on nearly every city lot for one or more nut trees, and almost every farm con¬ 
tains land which should be planted to nuts. Nuts in many cases pay better than farm 
crops or fruit. 
Nut trees are sent by e.xpress, not prepaid, at the prices given. All but the Pecans 
can be delivered by parcel post for an additional 25c per tree. 
^kiNACA The Chinese Sweet Chestnut (Casta- 
wnincoc; WnCOTnUr Moiissima) is one of the finest 
trees you can plant, both for nuts and as an ornamental lawn si>ecimen. They are blight 
resistant and produce enormous crops of very large sweet nuts. They are not particular 
as to soil requirements, but respond freely if fed and well cared for. Plant two trees for 
pollination. 1^4 to 2 feet, 80c each; 3 for $2.10. 
HaZeB Nuts for the North The Rush Hazel is the best variety 
■ I'lMBa IWI lll<C IBB have found for the North. The 
nuts are of fair size, excellent quality, very productive and free from insect pests. In¬ 
stead of growing in bush form, as most Hazels, tliis variety develops into a very orna¬ 
mental tree, about 18 feet high, with drooping habits. Makes a fine ornamental specimen 
for the lawn. 18 to 24-inch, $1.10 eacli; 3 for $3.00. 
Hardy Northern Pecans 
Northern grown Pecans are just as hardy as the 
hickories and should not be confused with Southern 
grown stock. Our trees are Michigan grown and have 
withstood a temperature of 17 to 20 degrees below zero 
without injury. They are ideal for shade trees as they 
are practically immune to insects and do not shed their 
leaves until late in the fall. 5 to 8 ft. high, $1.65 each; 
3 for $4.50. Too large for parcel post shipment. 
Black Walnuts 
Walnuts are becoming more popular each year with 
bakers, candy makers and ice cream manufacturers. 
They will grow in nearly all sections of the United 
States. They will thrive with little or no attention and 
if planted along fence rows, take up very little of your 
tillable land. While the Native Black Walnut produces 
satisfactory results, we recommend planting grafted 
named varieties where early bearing and quality are 
desired. Of all the grafted varieties now on the mar¬ 
ket, w'e are offering only the Thomas, it being far supe¬ 
rior to any other. 
THOMAS. The nut is very large, thin shell, has a 
very fine flavor and cracks out almost 90% whole halves 
and quarters. Grows much faster than the seedling 
trees and usually begins to bear a few nuts the second 
year after transplanting. 3 to 4-ft. trees, $1.75 each; 
3 for $4.50. 
NATIVE BLACK WALNUT. A tree of large size and 
majestic form. The mo.st valuable of all trees for its 
timber, bringing the very highest price in market. The 
tree is a fairly rapid grower, makes a good shade tree, 
and the large, oily nuts are of fine flavor and market¬ 
able at a fair price. 3 to 4 feet, 80c each; 3 for $2.00. 
Hardy English Walnut 
Our English Walnut trees are hardy, will stand more 
cold than peaches, and will produce good crops of nuts 
which are equal to the California product. There is 
very little labor connected with the harvesting of English 
Walnuts—simply gather the nuts from the ground when 
they fall. No shucking—simply pick them up and put 
them in sacks and they are ready for u.se. No other 
work connected with harvesting. The.se trees have been 
thoroughly tested. We can recommend them for plant¬ 
ing in Michigan, New York and other Northern and 
Eastern States as well as in the South and West. The 
English Walnut equals the maple as a shade tree. 2 to 
3 feet, $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50. 
English Walnut Seed 
Here is an inexijensive opportunity to start an English 
Walnut grove. Walnuts will grow readily from "seed, but 
to be certain of having Irardy trees be sure to plant 
only Northern grown seed. We offer stratified, Michigan 
grown English Walnuts at 3 for 25c; or 75c per dozen, 
postpaid. 
Japanese Walnut 
Of the finer imported Walnuts the Japanese is the 
species best adapted by its hardy, vigorous habit for 
general culture in our country. It grows witli great 
vigor, assuming a handsome shape without pruning, and 
has withstood a temperature of 21 degrees below zero 
without injury. Its nuts are considerably larger than 
the common hickory-nut, and are borne in clusters of 
fifteen to twenty. The shell is a little thicker than that 
of the English Walnut, which it resembles in a general 
way. The kernels are meaty and of rich, delicate flavor. 
It is a handsome .shade tree. 3 to 4 feet, 80c each; 
3 for $2.00. 
Thomas Walnut 
Hardy English Walnut 
BUTTERNUT 
(White Walnut) 
The nuts are large, long, oily and nutritious. A 
lofty, spreading tree, valued as a shade tree and 
for its beautiful wood as well as for its nuts. 3 to 
4 feet, 80c each ; 3 for $2.00. 
Notice 
All nut trees, except Pecans, can be delivered by parcel post if 25c per tree is added to prices given.

After years of 
plant breeding, 
scientists have succeeded in crossing the white Cali¬

ties and have given us Golden Muscat. The berries 
are golden yellow in color, large and meaty, with very 
few seeds which separate easily from the pulp. The

large seeded varieties for table use. It is of the Concord tyiie, but 
slightly smaller, blue black in color, and possesses the same fine 
flavor found in the Concord Grape. $1.25 each; 3 or more at
