6 MICHIGAN NUT NURSERY 


_ AMERICAN HAZELS: Grow ‘n nearly all parts of the country along 
fence rows and in wood lots. They are very hardy, but are not, as a rule, 
very good producers. The nuts are sometimes small and poorly filled. 
_ We are propagating a hybrid variety of American hazel that is a won- 
derful addition to any nut orchard. 
RUSH TREE HAZEL: Is a fast growing tree that reaches 
the size oi a peacn tree. Unlke the wild hazel, this forin 
does not stool out much at the base and is thus less 
troublesome. The plants bear very young; often the same 
year transplanted. Nuts are nearly as large as the filberts 
and they are always full of meats. The Rush is very hardy 
alld produces an abundance of stam/nate bloom that in- 
sures the annual heavy production of well filled nuts. No 
other pollinators needed. 

ENGLISH WALNUTS: Seedling trees grow here quite well, but as men- 
tioned in a previous paragraph, are not sufficently hardy to carry the 
staminate bloom through the cold winters. We have discontinued all va- 
rieties heretofore listed and wsh to introduce our new exceptionally 
hardy varieties. Grafted on black walnut roots. 
BROADVIEW ENGLISH 
WALNUT 
Originated near West 
Bank, British Columbia 
where wenter’ tempera- 
tures reach 35 _ below 
zero. The mother tree be- 
gan bearing at an early 
age and is said to be a 
heavy annual bearing 
tree. The Nuts are large 
as the California walnuts 
and fully as good qual- 
ity. They have thin shel’s 
and the meats come out 
freely. Flavor is excel- 
lent. See Illustration. Or- 
der when you see our 
prices quoted on_ price 
sheet. 

BRESLAU (Eng. type walnut). 
From north central Germany 
Where it grew at 52 degrees N. 
latitude. The or ginal tree in this 
country is growing near Halsey, 
Jregon. The Breslau produces a 
very large nut on rather slender 
stems. From past reports on 
this nut I decided it should be 
more widely disseminated 
through the northern range 
where it m’ght prove to be a 
pollinator for the hardy Broad- 
view. My supply of grafts of 
Breslau is limited so order early.
