Plant 35 to 50 feet apart in pastures. You will get just as much grass or 
more and a ton or two of grain equivalent per acre. The open top of their feath- 
ery foliage lets light through to the grass. Tennessee experiment station reports 
that such open shading INCREASED GRASS YIELD. That sounds a little like a 
miracle, but there’s a reason. 
The tree has sprawling habits and the trees you buy may be crooked, but 
I have seen them straighten and the promise of harvests is excellent. 
1 6 SUPERTRANS APPLE. I have an apple that no other nursery known to 
us Offers. It is of Russian origin, much like the yellow transparent in 
every respect, except that the flavor is milder and better for eating out of hand, 
and the apple is not so hard. Therefore, a home variety. Every family needs 
one or two. 
17 OAKS. We have a fine lot. Ask for our special tree list. I am astonish- 
ed at the speed of their growth. 
18 HIGHBUSH BLUEBERRY. The arrival of this new crop is the horticul- 
cultural sensation of the decade. I have 3 varieties. They will give you a 
succession of berries for 5 or 6 weeks beginning in June in the climate of central 
New Jersey and later as one goes north. Be sure to read our blueberry leaflet and 
try the Blueberry Kings Packet. All right for southern Maine, New Hampshire 
and southern Wisconsin and down to southern North Carolina and west to the 
Mississippi. To lessen risk, we ship blueberry bushes only in the spring. 
OUR TREES ARE FOR THE NORTH 
Persimmon seed from Northern Missouri and Kansas are grafted with cions 
of persimmons that have done well in Iowa. Some of our Chinese persimmon 
varieties were imported personally from the extreme northern range of Chinese 
persimmons. 
The climates of Peiping, China, and Omaha, Nebraska, are almost identical as 
to average temperatures for July and average temperatures for January. 
Our Chinese persimmons and our chestnuts came from the vicinity of 
Peiping, some of the persimmons from further west. 
This should not, however, be taken as a statement that our Chinese per- 
simmons will thrive in Omaha, Nebraska. I doubt it. There may be quirks in 
the climate, such as spring thaws or warm November days followed by freezes 
that make a difference. It should be clearly understood that the Chinese per- 
simmons are grown in climate almost like that of Philadelphia but somewhat 
more severe, and they are thriving in southeastern Pennsylvania with reports 
of success from 39 degrees north in changeable Indiana, and that any who plant 
are experimenting. They bear early. 
The chestnuts are doing well in Connecticut, Massachusetts and Oklahoma. 
Here and there somebody gets them in a frost pocket and they die, while a man 
on higher ground 200 miles farther north has them thriving. 

OUR SEEDLING DEPARTMENT 
We have some seedling English walnuts. Seed from a northern Oregon or- 
chard. Well worth trying. Also the Thomas Black Walnut seedlings. 
J apanese Walnut. A handsome tree, rapid grower, very hard to graft, bears 
heart-shaped nuts in clusters and strings. 
An unusual line of Chinese chestnut seedlings. 
EARLY PLANTING AND FALL PLANTING 
Early planting is desirable and be sure that there are no air pockets beneath 
the roots and that the earth makes close contact with the roots. That lets ab-
