Nut trees are the longest lived of al food: pros 
ducing trees, and once established réquirée lets 
care and attention than fruit trees, as fhtey/do 
not need to be sprayed and after the head ofthe 
tree is once formed little or no pruning is neces- 
sary. 
Budded or grafted trees bear early. An or- 
chard of them in a few years should com=2 into 
proiitable bearing, and will last for a century or 
more. Plant only budded or grafted trees of 
Hardy Northern varieties. 
Planting a nut orcnhaid is not a Speculation, if 
the right kind of trees are planted, but an in- 
vestment one that will in a few years pay in- 
creasing annual dividends, not only t> the plant- 
er but to future generations as well. It is just 
as much a mistake to buy the cheapest nut trees 
you can buy as it is the cheapest article of cloth- 
Ing. 
There are thousands of aczes of land in each 
state, not produzing enough to pay the taxes, 
that would return handsome profits if planted to 
nut treas, 
As nut trees live so long and attain such a 
great cize they should be planted very wide apart, 
so they may be grown on land that is to be an- 
nually cultivated to’ grain crops, and interfere 
very little with cultivation. 
Nut tree planting should not be confined to 
orchards, they may be grawn almost anywhere 
a tree is wanted, they make beautiful shade, and 
a few of them planted around th> home serve 
the twofold purpose of shade and food. 
Nuts are not perishable, and may be kept 
throughout the year without special care, neith- 
er do they have to be gathered promptly as do 
peaches or apples.
