J. F. JONES NURSERIES, LANCASTER, PA. 
STABLER. Originated in Maryland. 
One of the finest black walnuts and the best 
of all in cracking quality. The kernels can 
easily be removed in halves and this variety 
runs quite a few one-lobed nuts which fall 
from the shell in one piece. Slow growing. 
Kernel medium to dark in color, sweet and 
mealy 
THOMAS. Originated with the 
late Jos. Thomas, King-of-Prussia, Pa. 
One of the finest black walnuts yet 
found. Nut large, kernels large, light 
colored and of very good quality. The 
tree is a fast grower and adapts itself 
to a wide range of soils and climates. 
TEN EYCK. Originated at So. Plainfield, N. J. The nut is medium to 
large and has a very thin shell. The kernel is full and plump and of fine 
quality. The tree is a good upright grower and bears heavily here. 
ELMER MEYERS. This is a new variety. Nut very thin shelled and 
excellent cracker. Kernel medium in color. Very excellent tree under local 
conditions. Those who have seen the nuts here and have seen them cracked 
want trees of this variety. 
WHEN TO PLANT 
Our hardy Pennsylvania grown trees may be planted successfully in the 
fall, winter or early spring, depending on where the planting is to be made. 
North of Pennsylvania it is usually best to plant in the early spring except 
in favored sections where the climate is comparable to our own. In climates 
like our own the trees can be planted during the fall or spring months. Winter 
is the time for planting in the south. Southern orders should be received 
not later than December first, because after that time our digging conditions 
are very uncertain. If we have the order on hand we can dig the trees and 
plant them indoors before our ground freezes too deep to work. We prefer to 
dig each order as near to the time of shipment as possible. We have facilities 
here to keep several carloads of trees in excellent condition until they are 
shipped, but we use this storage for nut trees only in the preparation and 
handling of the order. We put no nut trees in storage to keep indefinitely 
during the winter for our retail trade.
