IMPROVED BLACK WALNUTS: All varieties of black walnut listed 
by us are bearers of the highest quality nuts. These varieties have been 
tested and found perfectly hardy and practically immune to diseases. 
Our grafted trees grow on all kinds of soils and locations with good 
success. The demand for black walnut kernels is gaining much favor in 
recent years. Black walnut orchards are a safe and paying investment, 
especially for those who have idle land. 
POILLION—A new black walnut discovered by the Michigan State Col- 
lege. The tree is of Michigan origin and should prove hardy for our north- 
ern range. The nuts are nearly as large as our well known Thomas 
which they closely resemble. 
When I tested the sample nuts sent to me last February by Prof. H. A. 
Cardinell, recearch assistant in hort’culture, I was much surprised at the 
ease with which these walnuts vielded their kernels. Without the use of 
a pick most meats came out in whole halves while a few of the meats 
could be secured in twin-halves. A thinner shelled nut than Thomas. 
THOMAS. Tree is of Pennsylvania origin. It 
is the most rapid grower of them all. Nuts 
are larger than any other propagated black 
walnut. Yet they are remarkably thin 
shelled and the light colored kernels come 
out nicely. Thomas is a heavy bearing va- 
riety, ideal for the commercial producer. 

ABSCODA SHAGB ARK 
HICKORY — Located by 
miyse f while out gathering 
hickory nuts. during the 
fall of 34. It makes a fine 
growth and bears early ; 
when grafted upon the 
northern pecan root as I 
grow them. The nuts are 
medium in size, rather : 
round, lightly ribbed and : 
snow white. Meats come 
out read ly without a pick, 
yielding halves and twin- 
halves. Be sure to give this 
fine shagbark a. trial if 
you have room for a tree.
