THIN-SHELLED BLACK WALNUTS 
The thin-shelled varieties of American Black 
Walnuts are selections from the best of our native 
nuts. They have about twice the proportion of 
meat as the ordinary black walnuts. Most trees will 
bear the third year after planting. We list three 
of the best varieties. 
THOMAS—A large nut cracking out about 90% 
halves and quarters. MEAT—light-colored, mild 
flavored and very fine. TREE—tall, very rapid 
grower. The leading commercial variety. 
STABLER—Tree smaller and more spreading 
than Thomas. Nut very thin shelled. Many kern- 
els come out entire. Rich flavor. 
OHIO—A large nut with a very large hull. Con- 
sidered very ornamental. A consistent bearer. 
Grafted walnuts bear early, usually the third year 
after planting. Production increases rapidly. 
Meats in large pieces and of uniform quality are 
very much in demand at good prices. The in- 
dustry is new and growing. Few good nuts or 
quality meats of black walnuts are on the market. 
A grower in Lewiston, Idaho, sells his at 25c per 
Ib. in the shell. 
A windbreak or fence-row planting should be a 
splendid investment. Along creek banks or well 
drained bottoms they do wonderfully. 
There is a ready market for these good nuts. 
For permanent trees we suggest you plant 60 
feet apart or 12 trees per acre. Interplant with 
Wahlbert peaches, 96 trees per acre. Fence row 
planting may be closer. 
There is also a big possibility in growing Black 
Walnut timber. It is valuable. 
OTHER NUT VARIETIES 
FILBERTS— aN 
Filberts have withstood temperatures of —20 de- 
grees here and produced good crops. Barcelona 
seems to be the best variety for inland areas. Use 
Du Chilly and Daviana for pollenizers. Large trees 
at planting produce much quicker results. Com- 
mercially profitable in the Lewiston-Clarkston area. 
CHESTNUTS— 
Chinese, American and European varieties in 
both seedling and grafted trees. Chestnuts are 
hardy. They bear early, often the second year. 
Grafted trees produce fine nuts. Plant two varieties 
for pollenization. We prefer the Chinese varieties. 
ALMONDS— 
I. X. L.—Good soft-shelled nut. 
NONPAREIL—Good productive nut. 
Almonds are usually considered about as hardy 
as peach trees, which they resemble. Two varieties 
should be used. 
OUR NEW VARIETIES 
Occasional severe winters have fully demonstrated the need of hardier varieties 
of fruit and nut trees for the inland area lying west of the Rocky mountains. 
Our 
efforts and purposes have been to locate such trees, trees that bear quality crops— 
and BEAR THEM REGULARLY. 
We now offer two such varieties, the WAHL- 
BERT PEACH and the SCHAFER WALNUT. We are proud of them. 

WAHLBERT PEACH e 
High Colored, Yellow Perfect Freestone Has Not Failed in Eighteen Years.

WAHLBERT PEACH

This remarkable peach was discovered by A. W. 
Wahl, Clarkston, Wash. It first bore fruit in 1921

Trees grown from this original Wahlbert tree have 
shown the same characteristics of fruit and hardi- 
ness. Often WAHLBERT has been the ONLY 
VARIE LYS DEA sCRORERD) 
DESCRIPTION 
Tree—Large, vigorous, healthy. 
Season—Two weeks ahead of Elberta, a few days 
after Rochester. 
*Fruit— Very large, 3 by 3 inches. Round. Uni- 
form size and shape. Halves equal. Basé is round 
or slightly depressed. 
Color—"Rich, deep red shading to orange. 
Fuzz— Very short and fine. 
Skin—"“Medium tough. Holds to flesh. 
Flesh—"“Deep orange to yellgw. Very firm 
Meaty. Medium sweet. Sprightly. Excellent flavor.” 

*Quotation from description of Prof. O. M. Mor 
ris, horticulturist, Washington State College. 
Does not crack. 
Pit—Small. Red. Free. 
Habits—Sticks to tree remarkably well, long after 
fully ripe. NO LOSS FROM FALLING. 
Bearing—Annually and abundantly. Self fertile. 
Shipping—Very firm. Does not show bruises 
readily. Holds up over long period. Does not rot. 
Because of its EARLY, RICH COLORING 
(deep red and golden yellow), its SIZE and UNI- 
FORMITY, its PRODUCTIVITY and HARDI- 
NESS, its FIRMNESS and ‘FLAVOR we are 
convinced that the WAHLBERT is the most profit- 
able peach to grow. Its season is fine also; TWO 
WEEKS AHEAD OF ELBERTA. The tenacity 
with which the Wahlbert adhers to the tree means 
more profits in the basket, enables picking with a 
smaller crew. The Wahlbert has no astringency_ or — 
bitterness around the pit or skin. It is a good slicer. 
With its firmness, flavor, and rich, reddish juice this 
peach is much in demand for home canning. Also 
very promising as a commercial canner. 

—PLANT FOR FUTURE SECURITY— 


12, AX, Wa OIE: 
Lewiston, 
MR. LYNN TUTTLE; 
Clarkston, Wash., 
Dear Sir: 
During the first week of August, 1937, my atten- 
tion was called to a seedling peach tree on Clarkston 
Heights, and I was surprised to note, that while 
peaches in that district that year were practically a 
complete failure, that this tree was heavily loaded 
with large attractive fruit. I cut a peach open and 
found that it was a yellow freestone, and on samp- 
ling it found an excellent flavor.

I should judge, that this tree was fifteen or 
twenty years of age, and it did not appear to have 
received any special care, which made the size and 
quality of the fruit all the more surprising. 
In time of ripening, I would estimate that it 
would be about two or three days later than the 
Rochester. 
Last year we ordered 200 of these trees, which 
had been named the “Wahlbert,” and, I believe, it 
will prove to be one of the finest freestone peaches 
so far developed. 
leva, Weis
