- NUT SAMPLES. In the past,the sending out of sample nuts has 
helped many to decide which varieties of..nut. trees they prefer. 
Therefore we plan to continue this service and expect to have sample 
nuts available of several varieties, Many are not ripe at time of 
writting this and weather conditions may prevent proper development 
so that some varicties,of which .we expees tn have samoles may not 
be availaole, Also of some varieties our supoly wili be limited and 
we wild be able to supply samples of such only 4s long as the suoply 
Taste. 
We chavge 10¢ for sample of each variety,but we issue a credit 
sligz with cech Lot of sample nuts,which can be applied at full vaine 
ion any ruture- order for nut trees, Thus we furnish samples free to 
those wo buy trees from us, Following the description of each variety 
we will indicate if we can supply sample. 
We may also include free,saniples of some other varieties of 
which we do not have trees. this year, An indication from you that 
you would want a tree of some particular variety would help guide us_ 
as se Luba of these new varieties to start trees for future delivery. 
te you think prices of nut trees are rather high,remember that 
you are getting a shade tree as well as a food producing tree. Also 
the: expense and difficulties of grafting or budding nut trees is far 
greater than that of most of the fruit trees.
