Recently a new and justifiable interest has 
sprung up in the matter of Nut trees as valuable 
ornamentals in landscaping. For the benefit of 
those who are not well acquainted with nut trees, 
| want to say that they have a majestic beauty 
peculiar to themselves. The foliage which is 
generally of a lighter green than other trees gives 
a somewhat tropical effect when used as landscape 
material. 
The nut tree produces a fruit with a definite 
marketable and edible value. You can choose 
your favorite nut tree and enjoy its beauty as 
part of your landscaping and then in the fall 
also enjoy its fruit. 
The Carpathian Walnut which makes a 
magnificent shade tree with its broad flat leaves 
has a very interesting history. It originated on 
the cold sub-zero slopes of the Carpathian Moun- 
tains in the Ukraine region and was introduced 
into this country and Canada less than a decade 
ago. Here it has already made many friends. 
The nut of this tree is akin to the California 
English walnut and its lumber is of surprising 
value. 
Another choice might be the Black Walnut, 
a native, which is a large growing specimen and 
makes excellent shade. There are perhaps a 
dozen named varieties of the Black Walnut — 
all fine ornamental trees that produce a thin 
shelled nut. 
Heart-nut trees are rapid growing. Their 
form is low, broad top and tropical in effect 
while the nut retains the flavor of the Butter-nut. 
The Hickory-nut tree does not need a lengthy 
introduction as most everyone in this country is 
familiar with it. In recent years some very fine 
thin-shelled varieties have been grafted.
