summers growth. As a general rule about one lb. of fertilizer to each inch of 
caliper of the tree should be sufficient. If your soil conditions are such that 
you require special and specific information your County Agent may be able 
to help you or we shall be glad to answer further questions by mail. Calcium 
or lime can be added to soils for best walnut production where the soils are 
decidedly on the acid side. As overdoses of lime will throw other chemicals out 
of balance in the soil it is best to keep the balance of acidity and alkalinity 
as near to neutral as possible unless the tree or crop requires a decidedly acid 
or alkaline condition. Moderation in the addition of the various chemical ele¬ 
ments to your soil should be the practice unless, as stated before, you are 
definitely sure of a deficiency of certain elements. 
GUARANTEE 
We guarantee all trees sent out to be of the size 
and quality specified, but we cannot possibly guarantee 
positive results with our trees after they leave our hands. 
If we would guarantee to replace trees that did not grow 
for some reason or other the trees would generally be 
neglected for this very reason. The prices of the trees 
would have to be advanced to take care of this loss of 
careless planting and neglect. We are careful to see that 
all trees sent out are well grown, true to label and in 
condition to grow, but since we have no influence over conditions surround¬ 
ing the trees or over their planting and care after they leave our hands, we 
cannot assume responsibility for any losses resulting from failure to make 
the trees grow for any reason. If customers receive trees from us which 
are not satisfactory in every way they should advise us at once; we can then 
make a satisfactory adjustment.
