but one. Let us send yours that way.

and altitude of your place and let us do the best we can on fitting She variety

‘ As company for my old age I am building up a collection of varieties of 
.  Shagbarks and hickory hybrids on my Blue Ridge mountainside. I now have 
about 70 varieties. They are interesting company. My human friends get busy, 
they get old and bald, they go to the great beyond. The trees keep green and 
—s« grow greater and greater as the years roll by—very interesting company. 
During the last 25 years the Northern Nut Growers Association has been ad- 
_vertising and offering prizes for the best Hickory nuts. Nearly a hundred va- 
-rieties have been thought good enough to name and give a trial. Mr. Willard 
Bixby, of Baldwin, N. Y., had most of these as some of his several hundred va- 
_-rieties of nut trees. After his lamented death this priceless arboretum was dis- 
-_ persed. I got cions of most of the Hickories for my old-age collection and to test 
out for the benefit of the public. I CAN SPARE A TREE OR TWO OF A FEW 
_. VARIETIES. Chestnuts, walnuts, honey locust and pecans are also on the list. 
- This is an opportunity for experimenters that is not likely to happen again 
soon. Write for our Special Tree List.
