THE 
This variety is rare 
in this country for the 
reason that it is a 
“Sport” or extreme 
variation of the com¬ 
mon Japan walnut, jug- 
lans sieboldiana, and 
almost invariably re¬ 
verts to that type of 
species from seed. Ow¬ 
ing to the extra crack¬ 
ing quality of the nut, 
the rapid and luxuriant 
growth, and early and 
prolific bearing of the 
tree, the Heartnut is 
one of our most valu¬ 
able nut bearing trees. 
Those looking for a nut 
tree that will equal the 
poplars, maples and 
willows in extreme 
rapid growth will want 
to plant the Heartnut. 
The tree has large, 
almost tropical-looking 
foliage. The nut is 
heart-shaped, smooth, 
brown in color and is 
of excellent quality 
having a flavor closely 
resembling our but¬ 
ternut. The nuts are 
borne in clusters of 
from five to fifteen nuts.
