J. F. JONES NURSERIES, LANCASTER, PA. 
ARE GRAFTED NUT TREES APPRECIATED? 
It is only in recent years that people in the northern states have awakened 
to the advantages offered in grafted nut trees. Now, with thousands of grafted 
trees bearing generally over the country with proof of their superiority, the de¬ 
creasing demand for seedlings will soon discourage the cultivation of these 
seedling trees and they will be discontinued, just as happened with the pecan 
in the south and the English walnut in the west—when only a few years ago 
only seedling trees were advocated and planted. 
Being familiar with the industry as the first extensive propagator of 
these trees, both north and south, the late J. F. Jones was largely responsible 
for the rapid development of the pecan and black walnut in large budded or 
grafted orchards. 
Even after grafted or budded trees were available in quantity many people 
planted seedling trees after extravagant claims from seedling nurserymen as 
they fought for defense of their trade. For these seedlings, costing so little 
to propagate in comparison with the grafted or budded stock, were then a 
very profitable business.
