CIRCASSIAN WALNUT, KING OF NUT TREES—a paper shell Persian or English Wal- 
nut (Juglans Regia). This tree grows in many parts of the world; the hardiest is found in 
Russia, Poland and Northern Carpathian Mountains where winter temperatures at times 
drop to more than 40 degrees below zero. It is from these parts that the original stock was 
brought to Canada some years ago. Cions and seeds were from selected trees, known to be 
over 300 years old, 150 ft. high with a spread of more than 80 feet. The trees have a battle- 
ship gray colored skin, leaves large, glossy and beautifully scented. In Europe the leaves are 
used as an insecticide. Nuts vary from that of the California English Walnut to three 
times this size. Nuts fall free of hull. For many years this tree has been a heavy producer 
in Canada and thousands are now growing in most of the Northern States. This stock 
. should bear the first or second year after becoming established. 5-6 ft. $7. transplants $8.50 
CHINESE SWEET CHESTNUT (Castanea Mollissima) blight resistant. From the Tientsin 
district northern China. For two weeks of early summer this tree is a riot of yellow blos- 
soms. Grows fast. Nut resembles our native sweet chestnut in size and flavor which the 
blight has killed throughout the country. The blossom, foliage and fruit of this tree make 
it worthy of a place on any property. Holds its dried and brown leaves during winter. Tree 
grows 40 to 60 ft. Not self-pollinating therefore more than one must be planted, preferably 
3 or more. Special grafted, should bear first or second year.............:00 alicepnO, Ew et Bp

JAPANESE HEARTNUT—QUEEN OF NUT TREES (Juglans Cordiformus) hybrid. Morris 
says of this tree: “It grows thriftily and bears precociously and heavily. In rich soil the 
leaves are sometimes a yard in length. When the tree is in blossom with catkins of male 
flowers five or six inches in length and brilliant red spikes of female flowers amidst the 
foliage we have a very beautiful object in the landscape. The nuts grow in clusters of ten 
or more, both nut and kernel are heart shaped, large, easily opened, flavor butternut.”
