results are to be had. The vines bear the second year after planting and yield the most delicious of 
fruits.

Walnut culture is attracting much attention at this time. The Black Walnut is native to every

said of the Black Walnut that it combines timber and nut value, beauty and shade, and, added to this 
its hardiness, so much cannot be said of any other variety of tree. The English Walnut is being 
introduced more and more and promises to become a most profitable crop in certain sections of the 
Southwest. The trees are. grown on native Black Walnut roots and are proving hardy over a 
wider section than they have heretofore been grown.
