THE ENGLISH WALNUT (juglans regia) 
Our trees are budded or grafted on the native black walnut root stock. 
Trees propagated this way seem to ripen up their wood growth earlier in the 
fall and are thus hardier. While the English walnut can be grown with more 
or less success in the eastern, middle and southern states our opinion is that its 
cultural range will follow that of the sweet cherry. Given good care the trees 
bear early. Trees require a neutral to alkaline soil. 
WILTZ MAYETTE. 
An extra fine diamond 
brand quality nut and 
fortunately a very 
hardy and reliable tree. 
Because it vegetates 
late it is less apt to be 
injured by frost than 
other English walnuts. 
The shell is thin, nut 
smooth and kernel 
large, light colored and 
of fine flavor. 
ALPINE. The orig¬ 
inal tree stood in Lan¬ 
caster. Shell slightly 
rough. Doing fine here 
in bearing and hardi¬ 
ness of tree. Blos¬ 
soms with black wal¬ 
nuts. 
PAYNE. This is an 
excellent variety. Blos¬ 
soms about with Al¬ 
pine. Nut about size of 
Mayette. 3 ^ ear English ANalnut In Our Nursery
