- Hardy Nut Trees - 
Perfectly Hardy in Our Northern States—Large Size and Heavy Yielding Varieties 
PLEASE NOTE 
Many varieties of our Hardy Nut Trees will 
not be for sale again until after the War. Con- 
siderable labor is involved in the growing, care 
and digging of these Hardy Northern varieties. 
We hope to have a larger list next year and with 
increasing quantities thereafter.

Chinese Chestnut 
Introduced by the U. S. tbh A: 
Dept. of Agriculture as the . er agere 
most blight resistant species. (ibe sf 

Nuts larger than the Ameri- 
can Chestnut and are equally 
sweet and good. The Chinese 
Chestnut is a coming com- 
mercial orchard tree—not a 
fast grower but bushy and 
low, making harvesting easy. 
Often bear when the trees are 
only 3 or 4 feet tall. Very 
ornamental trees. Plant sever- 
al trees for best pollenization.

Jones Hybrid 
Hazel Nut 
This new strain of Filbert 
combines the hardiness of the 
American Hazel with the re- 
liable fruiting quality of the Eu- 
not grafted varieties, 
3 to 4 ft. $1.50 each; 
4-5 ft. $2.00 each. 


Planting and Culture 
1. Dig holes wide and deep enough to set 
the trees several inches below the crown. 
ropean Filbert. The nuts are large 
and excellent quality. We. rec- 
ommend this Hybrid Hazel for 
those who want quick fruiting 
and plants that do not take up 
as much room. This year we offer 
first generation seedlings of the 
Jones variety. They are thrifty 
growing plants, hardy and pro- 
lific bearing plants. 

Thomas Walnut 
Thin Shelled — Excellent Crack- 
; ing Quality 
One of the finest of the new im- 
proved Black Walnuts. The indi- 
vidual nuts and kernels are large, 
light colored and of very good 
quality. The tree is a very fast 
grower and early bearing. All 
Black Walnut trees are valuable 
for both the nuts and timber. 
Heart Nut 
This variety is rare in 
this country in that it is 
an extreme variation of 
the common Japan walnut. 
Excellent cracking qual- 
ity and prolific bearing 
make it one of the most 
valuable nut trees. This 
nut is heart — shaped, 
smooth brown in color, ex- 
cellent quality and are 
produced in clusters of 
from five to fifteen nuts. 
Tree has very large almost 
tropical foliage, an ex- 
ceptionally rapid grower 
and fine ornamental value. 
This year our supply of 
Heartnut Trees is very 
fine ungrafted stock. The 
fruits will vary from the 
true Heartnut type to the 
round Oriental type. 
2. Plant when soil is mellow (not wet) and 
firm the loose dirt well around the roots. 
3. A gallon of moist peat moss mixed with 
the dirt around the roots is good insurance 
and will stimulate growth. 
4, When planting trim off about one-third 
of the previous season’s growth. : 
5. Mulching around the trees with loose 
strawy manure is beneficial... Spade in this 
mulch each Spring.
