Ohio Black Walnut 
THE BLACK WALNUT, juglans nigra 
The picture on the cover is a large black walnut growing on the 
lawn of a New England homestead. 
The black walnut grows naturally from Canada to Florida and from 
Maine to the Great Divide, and on about all kinds of soils and locations. 
The climate of Colorado is especially trying on trees, but the black wal- 
nut is doing well there. 
The black walnut is one of our principle forest trees in the U. S. and 
will thrive with little or no attention as do other trees of the same type. 
When planting the trees for nut production they should be given plenty 
of room and they naturally respond the best to proper care and atten- 
tion. We heartily recommend planting this tree. The varieties we are 
growing are thin shelled, easily cracked and are of excellent flavor. 
OHIO. This variety is from Northern Ohio. The tree makes the 
most symmetrical and upright tree of the lot. The nut is medium to 
large, shell thin, kernel full, light of color and of the best quality. The 
earliest bearing tree in our nursery.
