SCHAFER—The Hardy Bukowinan Walnut 
(Plant patent No. 





494) 
SCHAFER WALNUT 
(Plant patent No. 494) 
For untold centuries the so-called “English” or 
“Persian” walnuts (Juglans Regia) have grown 
in most parts of Europe and Asia to latitudes as 
far north as 55 degrees and to altitudes of 6,000 
feet. Their northern spread is 6,000 miles from 
Copenhagen to Manchukuo. Poland, the Carpath- 
ian mountains and the Russian Ukraine have many 
fine trees. Just where these came from we are not 
sure but very likely the Magyars brought them with 
them from what is now Manchukuo in the 9th 
century or in previous invasions. 
Trees from these cold areas must, of necessity, 
grow fast in the spring and early summer and must 
mature their crop and wood. early in the fall. All 
_ cold-country walnuts (from north China, Russia or 
Poland) seem to have these characteristics, in con- 
trast to the ones brought to this country from 
France, Italy or southern Germany. It is unfortunate 
that we did not have good introductions from the 
cold sections earlier. 
The Schafer Walnut comes from the northern 
edge of the Carpathian mountains near Bukowina, 
latitude 48 degrees north, longitude 26 degrees 
east, about 60 miles south-west from Cernauti. This 
is at considerable altitude with winter temperatures 
dropping to 40 or 50 degrees below zero. A very 
severe climate. Winter and summer isotherms 
would indicate temperatures like northern Mon- 
tana. The ground freezes deeply. 
The original Schafer Walnut tree, grown from 
seed brought from Bukowina, was planted in its 
present location near Yakima, Washington, about 
1926. It’s spread is now over 60 feet and annual 
production several hundred pounds. 
From history and performance we consider this 
tree equal in hardiness to the American Black Wal- 
nut. Ripens a month earlier than the blacks. Dor- 
mancy begins about the same time as the Black 
walnut. However, the Schafer walnut starts earlier 
in the spring. In certain sections, subject to late 
freezes following warm spring weather, this early 
starting might be objectionable. However, even 
though new growth is nipped back by a freeze, 
the trees seem to be uninjured. In cases observed 
they have put out new growth and raised nuts just 
the same. 
Tree—Rapid grower, tall and spreading. 
Nuts—Large. Thin-shelled. Quality excellent. 
Very full-meated. 
Bearing—Bears young, annually and abundantly. 
Quality—Excellent. Considered by many as su- 
perior to Franquette. 
The valuable Circassian Walnut timber used in 
furniture manufacture is from the walnut trees of 
this type. Most of this lumber has come from the 
Caucasus Mountain region lying between the Black 
and Caspian seas. 
We estimate a yearly return of from 100 to 300 
lbs. of nuts per tree at ten years of age. Plant 50 
to 60 feet apart. Interplant with Wahlbert peaches. 
Besides being a profitable orchard tree the Scha-

BETTER and HAR DIER VARIETIES of FRUIT and NUT TREES 

fer Walnut is most desirable as an ornamental. Their 
rich, rather glossy foliage and symmetry of growth 
adapts them to almost any type of planting. A 
combination of beauty, pleasure and profit. 
SCHAFER WALNUT trees are worthy of plant- 
ing on the best of orchard land, on the grounds of 
the finest home or country estate. A few of them 
will pay a lot of taxes, more of them will become 
a business and all of them will be a source of much 
pride and. satisfaction. 
We have been very gratified at the wide interest 
shown in the SCHAFER WALNUT and our trees 
growing in most of the States and _ several 
places in Canada. Our only difficulty seems to be 
to grow enough trees. Eventually we hope to have 
enough to meet the demand. In the meantime 
early orders will help us all. Walnuts seem to trans- 
plant better in the spring of the year so we prefer 
the spring season for delivery. 
SCHAFER WALNUT TREES (grafted) 
(plant patent #494) 
2 to 5 foot trees $5.00 each. 
Larger sizes $7.50 to $10.00 each.

For orchard planting we recommend only grafted 
trees. For home use, or for experiment, seedlings 
are very satisfactory. While the nuts do not neces- 
sarily take after the parent to a great extent, all we 
have seen so far have been good usable nuts. They 
seem to possess the same characteristics of hardi- 
ness as the parent. 
Schafer seedlings $4.00 each.

SETTING WALNUTS 
It is advisable to put a heavy stake on the south- 
west side of walnut trees when planting. This 
protects the stem from the hot sun, holds tree 
erect, and saves many accidents. Keep the ground 
surface mulched and when watering be sure water 
goes down to the depth of the roots.

DEARSMRes ad Usiiiae: 
The original Schafer Walnut tree together with a 
few seedlings from the tree are the only English 
Walnuts that survived the winter freezes in the Ya- 
kima Valley. It is located in a “frost pocket” but 
has never failed to produce a good crop. The trees 
make a rapid growth and the quality of the nut is 
excellent; it has a high percentage of meat inside a 
thin shell. 
Yours truly,

NOTE: Mr. Polenske owns and operates an 
orchard near the original Schafer tree. He is a 
trained and experienced horticulturist.
