SNYDER- The original tree grows né.r Newfield,N. Y. 400 208° Ng Liat. 
It was awarded first prize in the New York & New England contest 
of 1934. The nut is large,2l per’ pound,with cbout 26 percent kernel of 
good quality. Our graft of Snyder has so far been the heaviest 
pearer ‘of any offfour olack walnuts. Snyder and Sparrow ripen their 
nuts ths earliest of any of the black walnuts we have tested so far, 
ripens in normal years, the: last of September here, Reccommended by 
Dr, MacDanitels. in "Arnoldia". It is one of our four best varieties, 
We can supply sample. nut, see back page. We have very good trees 
both one and two year old grafts, at samé prices. 
While Snyder and Sparrow are both early varieties as to ripening 
of the nuts,they retain their leaves until they are cut by frost, 
This adds considerably to.their. ornamental value in the Fall.Many of 
our icter varieties will be nearly bare of leaves while these two 
cpt varieties appear to still, be in full leaf, 
SPARFOW- This is our pet variety of black walnut, we consider it 
better eg Thomas for this for noPth, and as good when grown farther 
south. the nut is not quite as large as Thomas but yields as much or 
more kornel per pound of nuts, In a) cases in which we have hud the 
flavor of kernel tested, Sparrow has been picked os better than Thomas, 
This variety originated neur Lomax, ILL. 40° 535! N, Late, while 
this is a rather southern origin,Spcarrow is one of our earliest 
varieties, ripening at the same time as Snyder and two weeks earlier 
thun Thomas. The tree id perfectly hardy here. The nuts appear to be 
quite small while on the tree as they have a thin husk,this tends to 
discourage the husk maggot. The husk comes off readily and the nuts 
husk out cleuner than any other variety we heve husked so far. Size 
of nut is 27 per pound with about 30% kernel,cracking clmost perfectly. 
We can supply « sample nut, see. back page. We have both one and two 
year old grafts of this varLety, at the same prices. 
SIAM OUGH= This variety originates. near Galesburg, Ill. 40 °gt N, Late 
It was awarded first prize in the Northern Nut Growers Assn. contest 
of 1926. Size of nut 25 per pound. It is in every way a very fine 
nut,one of the very best where it ean be grown successfully,it is 
too late for this far north, it has ripened properly here in only 
ome season (1944), Therefore we do not advise planting it north of 
41° N, Lat. or in other words, about a 180 day growing season. We 
can supply both one and two year old grafts at the same prices. 
TASTERTTE~ The original tree grows near Ithaca, N. ¥. 42°25! N. Lat. 
Nut rather small,3l per pound,but said to be of Gxcéitent cuclity, 
It has not fruited here as yot. Reccommended by Dr. MacDaniels in 
"Arnoldia", We.have only.two year old@ grafts of this varietr, 
THOMAS= This is. the oldest and most nearly standard of any of the 
black walnut verieties.,4t is the best standard by which to measure 
the other varieties, We have only one varicty which wo consider to 
be better (Sparrow), others may not agree with us in this. 
Originel tree grows near King of Prussia, Pa. 40° 5!N, Lat. a 
Nut is large, abeut 19,per pound.This is about cs late a'variety as 
we advise planting this fcr north. We can-supply sample nut. We have 
one and two year olf grafts of this variety,..
