Herbs and Garden Roots 
In Colonial Days the average American home considered its Herb Garden just 
as important and essential as the Vegetable Garden, but the Herb Garden has grad- 
ually been neglected, and until recently, almost forgotten—the housewife depend- 
ing on the grocery store shelves for food seasonings and extracts, many of which 
were imported from foreign countries. The war suddenly cut off the source of 
supply, reviving American interest in Herb and Vegetable Gardening. A supply of 
choice herbs in the home enables the housewife to convert into wholesome dishes 
many foods which otherwise would not be consumed. It is not only economy to 
grow Herbs for the table, but convenient and a source of satisfaction. 
CHIVES. Mild, Onion-like flavor. Used for soups and salads. 
HORSERADISH. Well known, popular seasoning for meats and used as a relish. 
Grates fine and tender. 
PEPPERMINT. Leaves and tender tops used for cooling drinks and for flavoring. 
SPEARMINT. Used chiefly for iced drinks and juleps. 
SAGE. An old-time Herb which is still much in demand for seasoning meats. 
Also a very popular commercial crop. 
TARRAGON. Used in salads and in making vinegar. 
fruit cups. 
THYME. Seasoning plant and also a lovely ground cover frequently planted in 
the rock garden or perennial border. 
WATERCRESS. Spicy leaves used for flavoring sandwiches and salads. Also 
affords one of the best Winter and early Spring cooking greens. Plant in small 
streams or pools.

25c. each, $2.50 per dozen, $18.00 per 100 
NUT TREES 
At one time the wild, native nuts, in an assortment of varieties, could be har- 
vested in almost all timbered sections of the East, but this is no longer possible. 
The American Sweet Chestnut was wiped out by the Chestnut blight. The American 
Shellbark Hickory Nut has been cut for wood and even the American Black Walnut 
—which is one of the most valuable timber trees—has been practically eliminated 
as anative tree. So if we are to enjoy native nuts, it is necessary to cultivate them, 
just as we are now cultivating fruits and farm crops. 
BLACK WALNUT. Of course, every planter is familiar with the Native Black 
Walnut. However, not all are familiar with the possibilities that the culture of 
the Black Walnut offers. As a timber proposition, Black Walnut culture is ex- 
tremely profitable, especially when planted: on land where it can be left to grow 
and at the same time used as pasture, as the Black Walnut does not interfere with 
the grass, which thrives under the trees, and when established, the trees make 
good shade for livestock, which does not injure them. We offer root pruned, 
transplanted trees as follows: 2-3 ft. 75c. each, $7.50 per doz., $60.00 per 100; 3-4 
ft. $1.00 each, $10.00 per doz., $75.00 per 100; 4-6 ft. $1.50 each, $15.00 per doz.; 
6-8 ft. $2.00 each, $20.00 per doz.; 8-10 ft., $3.00 each, $30.00 per doz. 
Delicious in jello and 
$3.00 each, $30.00 per doz.

$18.00 per doz.; 3-4 ft. 
52.50 each.

Rhubarb 
RHUBARB 
It would be difficult to 
conceive a garden vegeta- 
ble offering more food 
value for the cost and ef- 
fort than Rhubarb, which 
prefers a deep, fertile soil, 
but requires very little at- 
tention. Produces delicious 
food in the early Spring 
when garden vegetables are 
scarce. We offer the Vic- 
toria, which has enormous 
long stalks of cherry red 
color; very tender. Plant 
3 to 4 feet apart in rows or 
‘beds. No. 1 roots, 30c. 
each, $3.00 per doz., 
$20.00 per 100

BLACK WALNUT, THOMAS IMPROVED. Grafted. Large, thin shell, early bearing strain. 3-4 ft. 
* BLIGHT RESISTANT CHINESE CHESTNUT. Most remarkable thing about this Chinese strain of 
blight resistant Chestnut is its early bearing qualities. 3-4 ft. trees often bear full 
crops in the nursery row. The nuts closely resemble the Native American Sweet 
Chestnut, which is a thing of the past. Hardy, prolific bearer. 2-3 ft. $2.00 
) each, $20.00 per doz.; 3-4 ft. $2.50 each, $25.00 per doz. 
. ENGLISH WALNUT. As a commercial crop proposition, the English Walnut ranks 
at the top, being one of the nuts which can be profitably grown commercially in 
this section. Further description is not necessary as the English Walnuts we offer 
are the same as the Pacific Coast grown found in local grocery stores. They ap- 
parently thrive just as well here as in any other section where they are a profitable 
commercial crop. Now being planted in this area both commercially and for home 
use. We offer the Virginia Thin Shell variety. 18-24 in. $1.20 each, $12.00 per doz.;
