The Hardy Pecan is a splendid and beautiful shade 
tree which will reward you with bushels of delicious

mune to insects. In Michigan’ it has withstood tem- 
peratures well below zero. Nuts of good size and ex-

Black Walnuts 
Walnuts are becoming more popular each year with 
bakers, candy makers and ice cream manufacturers. 
They will grow in nearly all sections of the United 
States. They will thrive with little or no attention and - 
if planted along fence rows, take up very little of your 
tillable land. While the Native Black Walnut produces 
satisfactory results, we recommend grafted trees of the 
Thomas where early bearing and quality are desired. 
THOMAS. The nut is very large, thin shell, has a 
very fine flavor and cracks out almost 90% whole halves 
and quarters. Grows much faster than the seedling 
trees and usually begins to bear a few nuts the second 
year after transplanting. 38 to 4-ft. trees, $2.50 each;

FEDERAL SALES TAX 
Should a Federal Sales Tax be imposed after this 
catalog is printed, it will be necessary to add the 
amount of such taxes to all orders: 
Hardy English Walnut 
Our English Walnut trees will stand more cold than” 
peaches, and will produce good crops of nuts which are 
equal to the California’ product. There is very little’ 
labor connected with the harvesting of English Walnuts 
—simply gather the nuts from the ground when they 
fall. No shucking—simply pick them up and put them 
in sacks and they are ready for use. We can recom- 
mend our hardy trees for planting in Michigan, New 
York and other Northern and Eastern States as well as 
in the South and West. The English Walnut is a fine 
shade tree. 2 to 3 feet, $2.00 each; 3 Tor $5.00. Parcel 
post, 20c each extra. 
Japanese Walnut 
Of the finer imported Walnuts the Japanese is the 
species best adapted. by its hardy, vigorous habit for 
general culture in our country. It grows with great 
vigor, assuming a handsome shape without pruning, and 
has withstood a temperature of 21 degrees below zero 
without injury. Its nuts are considerably larger than 
the common hickory-nut, and are borne in clusters of 
fifteen to twenty. The shell isa little thicker than that 
of the English° Walnut, which it resembles in a generdl 
way. The kernels are meaty and of rich, delicate flavor. 
It is a handsome shade tree. 3 to 4 feet, $1.00 each; 
3 for $2.50. Parcel post 25¢ each extra. 

Owing to quarantines, the different varieties of Walnuts cannot be shipped to California or Arizona; Japanese Walnuts cannot be sent to Utah ; 
Pecans cannot be sent to California, Arizona or Utah; Chestnuts to California, Idaho, Oregon or Washington ; or Grapes to Arizona.
