LENGTH OF SEASON FOR CROPS— 
Most nut trees need 150 growing days between spring and fall frosts to properly fill out the nuts.

PLANTING DISTANCE— 
Nut trees should not be planted closer than 30 ft., much farther is better. Filbertnuts as a hedge, 6 ft., other- 
wise 15 ft. Hazelnut bushes as a hedge, 3-4 ft., as clumps, 4-6 ft. 
The many orders received by us each year from our customers, friends and neighbors, testify to the virility of 
our stock and the careful way it is dug and packed for shipment. Help and all packing material is scarce yet we 
are still able to maintain our high standard of service without advancing prices. They are practically the same 
now as in the past 8 years. 
We were unable to fill all orders last spring due to the lateness received. Business will be heavier this fall and 
we ask that you send your order early. 

Prices include packing, express and 25% duty for Canadian stock from Toronto, Ont., to Hillsdale, 
Mich., and repacking, whence trees are f. 0. b. Terms—50% with order, balance c. 0. d. Orders ac- 
cepted until October 10th. 

To those who have not received our catalogue before, wish to state that we purchased 80 acres in Hillsdale 
County, Michigan, a short time ago, to farm and plant nut trees and that our nurseries are not located here. Re- 
packing and transhipping is done from this address. 
NUT TREE SEED 
We expect to have the following seed available this fall and winter for planting next spring. Prices will be sent 
on request after first of December. 
1. Circassian English walnut No. 2. 7. Giant Hickory 
2. Pecan, Northern, thin shell 8. Butternut, select variety 
3. Hazel (hybrids) a bush 9. Tree Hazel (Asiatic) 
4. Filberts, named varieties Fruit 
5. Jap. walnuts 1. Persimmon 
6. Jap. Heartnut 2. Paw Paw 
Nut tree seed must be stratified before planting. The simplest method is to place the seed on ground and cover 
with a good layer of either straw, grass, leaves or an old piece of carpet. Wet this well and allow to freeze. 
Do not disturb until last week of April when seed should be planted. English walnuts are kept indoors all 
winter and soaked five days in water prior to planting the first of May.
