SCHAFER—The Hardy Bukowinan Walnut 
(Plant patent No. 494) 
SCHAFER WALNUT 
(Plant patent No. 494) 
For untold centuries the so-called “English” or 
“Persian” walnuts (Juglans Regia) have grown 
in most parts of Europe and Asia to latitudes as 
far north as 55 degrees and to altitudes of 6,000 
feet. Their northern spread is 6,000 miles from 
Copenhagen to Manchukuo. Poland, the Carpath- 
lan mountains and the Russian Ukraine have many 
fine trees. Just where these came from we are not 
sure but very likely the Magyars brought them with 
them from what is now Manchukuo in the 9th 
century or in previous invasions. 
Trees from these cold areas must, of necessity, 
grow fast in the spring and early summer and must 
mature their crop and wood. early in the fall. All 
cold-country walnuts (from north China, Russia or 
Poland) seem to have these characteristics, in con- 
trast to the ones brought to this country from 
France, Italy or southern Germany. It is unfortunate 
that we did not have good introductions from the 
cold sections earlier. 
The Schafer Walnut comes from the northern 
edge of the Carpathian mountains near Bukowina, 
latitude 48 degrees north, longitude 26 degrees 
east. This is at considerable altitude with winter 
temperatures dropping to 40 or 50 degrees below 
zero. A very severe climate. Winter and sum- 
mer isotherms would indicate temperatures like 
northern Montana. The ground freezes deeply.

BETTER and HAR DIERVWARIETIES of FRUIT and NUT TREES 

Saray cn capa re A Ieper emO 
pees 
The original tree is growing at the farm home 
of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Schafer near Yakima, Wash. 
The seed was brought from Bukowina by Mrs. 
Schafer. The tree has stood in its present location 
about 16 years. It now has a 50’ spread and pro- 
duces 300 or more pounds annually. 
ts a 
Tree—Rapid grower, tall and spreading. 
Nuts—Large. Thin-shelled. Quality excellent. 
Very full-meated. 
Bearing—Bears young, annually and abundantly. 
Quality—Excellent. Considered by many as su- 
perior to Franquette. 
From history and performance we consider this 
tree equal in hardiness to the American Black Wal- 
nut. Kipens a month earlier than the blacks. Dor- 
mancy begins about the same as blacks but the 
Schafer starts earlier in the spring. 
The valuable Circassian Walnut timber used in 
furniture manufacure is from the walnut trees of 
this district and on into the Caucasians. 
We estimate a yearly return of from 100 to 300 
Ibs. of nuts per tree at ten years of age. Plant 50 
to 60 feet apart. Interplant with Wahlbert peaches. 
Besides being a profitable orchard tree the Scha- 
fer Walnut is most desirable as an ornamental. Their 
rich, verdant foliage is most pleasurable to see. A 
combination of beauty, pleasure and profit. 
SCHAFER WALNUT trees are worthy of plant- 
ing on the best of orchard land, on the grounds of 
the finest home or country estate. A few of them 
hee iG DSeenek te will pay..glot of taxes. more of them» will. become“. oh my. gulietinse 
a business and all of them will be a source of much 
pride and satisfaction. 
We have been very gratified at the wide interest 
shown in the SCHAFER Walnut and have trees 
growing in over half of the States and several 
places in Canada. Our only difficulty seems to be 
to grow enough trees. Eventually we hope to have 
enough to meet the demand. In the meantime 
early orders will help us all. Walnuts seem to trans- 
plant better in the spring of the year so we prefer 
the spring season for delivery.

Unless otherwise ordered trees are cut back 
about 24 and the cuts waxed, ready for planting. 
So far we have had no surplus cion wood. Besides 
there are many factors that enter into successful 
walnut grafting. For these reasons we have not 
offered any cion wood for sale. 

In our quest for better varieties we have examined 
many seedlings and bud sports and are testing the 
ones that show genuine promise. Whether in fruits 
or men, “there is always room at the top.” If you 
have something outstanding write us about it.

The original Schafer Walnut tree together with a 
few seedlings from the tree are the only English 
Walnuts that survived the winter freezes in the Ya- 
kima Valley. It is located in a “frost pocket” but 
has never failed to produce a good crop. The trees 
make a rapid growth and the quality of the nut is 
excellent; it has a high percentage of meat inside a 
thin shell. 
Yours truly, 
Aw De POLENSKE 

NOTE: Mr. Polenske owns and operates an 
orchard near the original Schafer tree. He was 
formerly County Agent of Asotin County, Wash- 
ington, 

A Word As To The Future: 
Agriculture may well turn to tree-crops, crops 
that rival corn in food per acre, tree-crops that 
harvest themselves, that supply timber, wind-breaks, 
bird and squirrel havens, flood-controls, soil con- 
servation, and a net return all in one breath. Ask 
us about it,
