Until recently we have been able to supply our customers each season with practically every known variety of 
northern nut tree nursery stock. Due to conditions prevailing the past few years the number of varieties now have 
been greatly reduced. Nevertheless the following list should give a tree planter a good start or further add to his 
plantings. 
The walnut (Juglans Regia) is the oldest fruit known. It is at least 10,000 years old. 
CIRCASSIAN WALNUT, KING OF NUT TREES—a paper shell Persian or English Walnut (Juglans Regia). This 
tree grows in many parts of the world; the hardiest is found in Russia, Poland and Northern Carpathian moun- 
tains where winter temperatures at times drop to more than 40 degrees below zero. It was from these 
countries that the original stock was brought to Canada some 20 years ago and since propagated in our nursery 
here in Michigan. The trees have a battleship gray colored skin, leaves large, glossy and nicely scented. 
Nuts vary in size from that of the California English walnut to three times this size. Nuts fall free of hull. In 
Canada this variety has been a heavy producer and thousands are now growing in many of the northern states.
