HiiRDY NORTHERI^ NUT TREES 
More than 60 years qgo Mr. E. A. Riehl began growing nut trees in an exper¬ 
imental way. Whenever hd heard of a nut of superitr size and quality, he pro¬ 
cured nuts or scions to cj^.rn/ on his work of improving the nuts of our northern 
states and testing the hardiness and productiveness oi the orees. Since tao.t time 
many others have become interested in the work. There can jbe no finer avocc.ti'''n 
for a professional or business man than a grove of hardy nut trees; arid every 
farm vr^uld be enhanced i4 value by a few nut trees grouped neo.r the ovildings or 
grov/ing in fence corners jor other little unused plots of ground. Wo have found 
our nut trees so interesting as well as profitable, that we decided to help others 
to do likewise. We have established a small nursery entirely devoted to the pri-• 
pagation of nut trees. Every year we graft a few trees of each of the most 
premising of the new varieties discovered by the U. S. Do-partment of Agriculture 
and the Northern Nut Growers’ Association. We send, herewith, a list of the avail¬ 
able trees in the nursery this season. They vary in size from one year whips that 
were grafted last April to three year old, branched trees. Beco.use there are so 
many varieties and so few of each kind, we find it more convenient to price all 
Sizes alike. Purchasers are asked to state their preference, and orders will be 
^ filled with trees nearest the size wanted*
