Dear Sir: 
Ineresponse ato your. valued inquiry for Grafted Nut Trees, I am .en- 
closing my Price List and other information regarding these tress. 
Grafted Black Walnut trees are among. our fastest growers, as well 
ge the youngest. to) conc unto bearing among edible tree crops. 
Meany Varieticog stantetobcar as: carly as the second and. third year 
Biel planting, anodvit is always best to plant several varieties 
for good pollenation., These trecs are among our handiest trees 
andiare adaptable to a very wide range. I am often asked which 
VEOrvetios are wno best, bus. this isavchard question to answer 
25 woe do not’ all have the ‘same opinion, . Study the record sheet 
and make your selection. They are all good or they would not 
have becn approved and named. 
Mnese namcd improved varieties have been discovered by, different 
Veorlewinidlitercnt parts of the United States and have proved: to 
have outstanding mcrits as compared with our native or wild onos. 
They are young bearing, excellent crackers, having high kernel 
percentage with sweet and light colored kernels of Superior qual- 
iey es iey aroraraoeemons. our longest lived. treocs. They produce 
an annual crop of one of mans best foods, sealed in a tight pack- 
aco cab ncverr spoils) andpwithencver a worm, in the nuts. 
Values of nut moats in the dict as given by Dr. John Harvey Kellogs, 
Olppatilolcreck iichigan are\as follora: #.Of Black Walnut

ton; 34 Ham; 10 Chicken Broilers; 133+ Oysters; 5# Eggs and 93+! 
Milk. 
My Nut Trees are propagated, sold, carefully hand dug, and pack- 
ed for shipment by myself. They have a strong root system, and 
have. proved to transplant very satisfactorily. I am very parti- 
cular in} obtaining my graft wood, to be surc they are true to name. 
Nut Treé Nurserics are few. and the demand for trecs is growing 
by leaps and bounds, and in the past I have shipped Nut Treés 
to all) parts ofthe’ United States, without ONE conplaint,; but 
considerable repeat orders and complimintary letters, as shown 
On the, reverse side. My suggestion is that if. you are in: the 
markets tor Nut Irees;2ot your order booked as soon as.‘posaiblo 
woile the varictics: and’ sizoés' are still to: be had. Later you will 
have less to choose from, as well as, completly sold out, result-
