Dear Sir: 
t 
<n response to your valued inquiry for Grafted Nut Trees, I em en- 
olosing iy Price List and other information regarding these trees. 
Grafted Biack Walnut trees are among our fastest growers, as well 
es the yourgest to come into bearing among edible tree crops. 
Many varieties start to bear as early as the second and third year 
after planting and it is always best to plant several varieties 
f or good polienation. These trees are among our hardiest trees 
and are acaptable tc a very wide range. I am often asked which 
varieties are the best, but this is a hard question to answer 
as we Go not all nave the same opinion. Study the record shect 
and make your selection. They are all Boor or they would not 
kave teen approved and named, 
These named improved varieties have been discovered by aererent 
people dn differcnt parts of the United States and have proved to 
have outstanding merits as compared with our native or wild ones. 
They are young bearing, excellent crackers, having high kernel 
percentage with sweet and light colored kernels of superior qual= 
ity. They arc also among our longest lived trees. They produce 
an annual crop of one of mans! best foods, senled in a tight pack- 
age that never spoils and with never a worm in the nuts. 
Valuc of nut meats in the dict as given by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, 
of Battle Ureek; Michigan are as follows: 1# of Black Walnut 
meats issecual to 4# of Beef; 63# Beef Ribs; 54 Veal; 444 Mut- 
ton; &# Ham? 10 Chicken Broilers: 1344 Oysters; Of Rees and pape 
Milk. 
My Nut Trees are propagated, sold, carefully hand dug, and pack- 
ed for shipment. by myself. They have a strong root system, and 
have proved to transplant very satisfactorily. I am very parti- 
cular in obtaining my graft wood, to be sure they are true to Name a 
Nut. Tree Nurseries are few and the demand for trees is growing 
by leaps and bounds; and in the past I have shipped Nut Trees 
to. all parts of the Unitea States, without ONE complaint, but 
considerable repeat orders and complimentary letters, as shown 
on the reverse sides My suggestion is that if you sare in the 
market for Nut Trees, get your order booked as soon as possible 
while the varieties and sizes are still to be had. L«ter you will 
have less to choose from, as wcll as completely sold out, result- 
ing. in-one year's time icost. which will never return. 
Yours: very truly,
