I have bore the first year, and although set during 
freezing weather in February, they all made good 
growth. I expect to get all the nuts I need for home 
use the second year.”

OUR TREES GROW WELL IN NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, WEST 
Our trees are growing in Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois, Oklahoma, Missouri, Michigan, California, Colorado, 
Kansas, Virginia, Alabama, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, South 
Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Florida, lowa, Oregon, Minnesota, and many other states of the Union. This 
tree puts out well after most trees have full summer appearance—thus getting by late freezes. Its hardi- 

ness is due to its ability to bud late. We furnish many of these trees to Northern nurseries—so they must _

Texas Forest Service Report: “There certainly seems to be a big demand for Walnuts, both shelled and unshelled. In 
fact, it is almost impossible to obtain them on the market. Black Walnut is unique in that it retains its flavor when cooked 
and keeps tasty and attractive while other nuts lose flavor. As far as we are able to determine, Black Walnut meat is 
higher than English Walnuts, Almonds, Pecans, etc.” (Meat sold at $1.60 per pound, 1936.) 
Texas Co-Op Report: “The soil fertility requirements of Walnuts are not as great as that required for Pecans.” 
U. S. Government Report: “Black Walnuts may be profitably planted in unused or waste places, fence corners, fence 
rows, along drives, in the yard and in orchards.” 
OUR SUPERIOR ROOT SYSTEM MAKES THE DIFFERENCE 
Trees are dug by hand and Shipped Fresh, well packed to keep 10 to 15 days 
For about $10.00 per acre a Walnut orchard can be set that could make an independent living for you, your 
children and grandchildren. They can be set in the yard, in small plots, or in large orchards. They grow 
money each year, increasing in nut and timber production 100 years and more. If set now they should 
produce their first crop in two to three years. 
Oklahoma Report: “My trees bore the third year and for seven consecutive years 
nuts were gathered second year, with fourth and fifth year returns sufficient to pay ¢ 
increase in returns thereafter. They are satisfactory and I am adding to my ten acres. 
From Colorado Forester’s Office, Denver: “Black Walnut trees do well in Denver, also on irrigated farms, and I have 
seen them in the foothills at 5,500 feet.”

Improved Black Walnut—America’s Fastest Growing and Most Expensive Hardwood 
This tree comes into commercial production earlier than Pecans, and seldom fails a crop. At this date I know nothing with a better future. 
U. S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE REPORT 
‘More than one and a half billion feet of lumber is used yearly in American homes for 
furniture, 35 per cent being Walnut. Mahogany is second with 25 per cent. Designers 
agree that Walnut is almost an ideal wood for furniture because it combines beauty, 
strength, and durability. Records show that it was used in King Solomon’s Temple. Walnut 
ornaments have been found in the caves of Tennessee Mound Builders. Burls (abnormal 
erowth where the grain is very irregular) are highly figured and used where beauty of 
pattern is desired. Even the stumps are in big demand. Walnut timber is very expensive 
and growing increasingly scarce. The Government reports there is one-fourth to one-third 
less standing Walnut than in 1920. Although it is America’s fastest growing hardwood, 
the yearly cut is greater than the new growth.”
