HARDY NUT-TREES 
A page of kinds that really bear nuts here in the 
north. The grafted trees are the result of years of 
experiment. All our nuts are grown by specialists 
and shipped separately from all other nursery 
stock—packing included in prices. 
Grafted trees bear young, more meat—30% of 
weight of grafted Walnut is meat, compared to 
15% of seedling Walnut. The Sth year of life 
(about 8 ft.) approximately 1/2 bushel can be ex- 
pected. Chestnuts bear even in 2nd year in 
nursery!

Black Walnuts 
One of our most beautiful native trees, growing well in 
any fertile well drained soil. The grafted sorts bear their 
‘ first nuts commonly in the third to fifth year. 
Stabler meat falls out easily in halves or one piece and 
is of a rich mellow flavor. A fine spreading specimen. 
Thomas is a rapid-growing tree. The meat is attractive 
and tasty, but does not crack as easily as the Stabler.

Planting and Care 
_Nut trees arrive crooked and heavily pruned, unlike 
ordinary trees. The large, poor root system cannot be 
shipped, therefore the top must be pruned to match. They 
will grow straight. 
The iirst two years mulch well with hay or straw. Water 
if drought comes. Keep all side buds from developing 
into useless low branches (below 7 feet). Do not plant 
deeper than they were in nursery. These trees, tops 
gaitially waxed, withstand very well transplanting in 
Autumn. The risk is increased perhaps 5% as compared 
to spring, but the quicker growth next year more than 
makes up for this. Mulch with salt hay, remove it in April. 
Black Walnut makes a majestic shade tree.
