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 special- 
ists 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 5th year of life 
(about 8 ft.) approximately 1/, bushel can be 
expected. Chestnuts bear even in 2nd year in 
nursery! 
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 first 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.
