Hardy Pecan 
Hardy Northern Pecans 
Northern grown Pecans are just as hardy as the 
hickories and should not be confused with Southern 
grown stock. Our trees are Michigan grown and have 
withstood a temperature of 17 to 20 degrees below zero 
without injury. They are ideal for shade trees as they 
are practically immune to insects and do not shed their 
leaves until late in the fall. 4 to 6 ft. high, $2.00 each; 
3 for $5.00. Parcel post, 25c each extra., 
Black Walnuts 
Walnuts are becoming more popular each year with 
bakers, candy makers and ice cream manufacturers. 
They will grow in nearly all sections of the United 
States. They will thrive with little or no attention and 
if planted along fence rows, take up very little of your 
tillable land. While the Native Black Walnut produces 
satisfactory results, we recommend grafted trees of the 
Thomas where early bearing and quality are desired. 
THOMAS. The nut is very large, thin shell, has a 
very fine flavor and cracks out almost 90% whole halves 
and quarters. Grows much faster than the seedling 
trees and usually begins to bear a few nuts the second 
year after transplanting. 3 to 4-ft. trees, $1.75 each; 
3 for $4.50. Parcel post, 25¢ each extra. 
NATIVE BLACK WALNUT. A tree of large size and 
majestic form. The most valuable of all trees for its 
timber, bringing the very highest price in market. A

Hardy English Walnut 
Our English Walnut trees will stand more cold than 
peaches, and will produce good crops of nuts which are 
equal to the California product, There is very little 
labor connected with the harvesting of English Walnuts 
—simply gather the nuts from the ground when they 
fall. No shucking—simply pick them up and put them 
in sacks and they are ready for use. We can recom- 
mend our hardy trees for planting in Michigan, New 
York and other Northern and Eastern States as well as 
in the South and West. The English Walnut is a fine 
shade tree. 2 to 3 feet, $1.25 each; 3 for $3.00. Parcel 
post, 20c each extra. 
English Walnut Seed 
Here is an inexpensive opportunity to start an English 
Walnut grove. Walnuts will grow readily from seed, but 
to be certain of having hardy trees be sure to plant 
only Northern grown seed. Stratified, Michigan grown 
English Walnuts, 6 for 35ce; 20 for $1.00, postpaid. 
Japanese Walnut 
Of the finer imported Walnuts the Japanese is the 
species best adapted by its hardy, vigorous habit for 
general culture in our country. It grows with great 
vigor, assuming a handsome shape without pruning, and 
has withstood a temperature of 21 degrees below zero 
without injury. Its nuts are considerably larger than 
the common hickory-nut, and are borne in clusters of 
fifteen to twenty. The shell is a little thicker than that 
of the English Walnut, which it resembles in a general 
way. The kernels are meaty and of rich, delicate flavor.

SEEDLESS CONCORD 
After years of experimentation and cross-breeding a perfectly hardy seedless 
Grape has been developed. The first of a new race of Grapes that should eventually 
replace the common large seeded varieties for table use. It is of the Concord type, 
but slightly smaller, blue black in 
color, and possesses the same fine 
flavor found in the Concord Grape. 
This grape was first introduced by 
us in 1939. This year we are able 
to offer these plants at only $1.00 
each; 3 for $2.50; 12 for $9.00.

scientists have succeeded in crossing 
the white California Muscat Grape 
with our hardy northern varieties 
and have given us Golden Muscat. 
The berries are golden yellow in ‘ ’

separate easily from the pulp. The bunches are §
