THIN-SHELL BLACK WALNUTS 
Kin g of Nuts & Timber---America’s Fastest Growin ¢ Hardwood 

U. S. GOVERNMENT REPORT—“In favorable locations north of the pecan limit, it is doubtful if any other tree specie will give value in food, timber supply, 
shade, and ornamental effect equal to the Black Walnut. This tree has been successfully transplanted in some part of nearly every state.” 

BESIDES THE VALUABLE NUTS, TIMBER AND STUMPS, MANY IMPORTANT COMMERCIAL USES HAVE BEEN FOUND 
FOR GROUND WALNUT SHELLS. Only 2.4-Oz. Black Walnuts equal 20-Oz. Milk, which replacement requires 4.8-Oz. Hickory Nuts or 
5.6-Oz. Pecans

edible nuts, produce useful timber, and are resistant to 
destructive fungi and insect pests. The use of kernels

This Walnut is adapted to widely diversified climates and soils. The kernels are highly prized, in big demand. You can be one of 
the first with this Improved Walnut. It has a great commercial future, both for timber and for nuts. This Walnut originated in the 
North and does well in parts of Southern Canada. It stands very cold weather—it has stood below zero in Texas, and much below 
in Iowa, Minnesota and other places where we ship many trees. My largest sales are to northern nurseries, where we get goed re-

to last of April. 
OKLAHOMA REPORT: “The Walnut comes into 
production earlier than the Pecan. There are vast acres 
upon which the Pecan will not succeed, but where the 
Walnut could be expected to develop quite satisfac- 
torily. Walnuts do fine on good Pecan soil, but will 
do well on land not so fertile.” 
IOWA REPORT: These fast maturing trees produced 
fine here. From 65 to 80 per cent of the meats come 
out whole, and trees two to three years old produce 
clusters of nuts. Walnuts grow faster and bear earlier 
than apples.” 
TENNESSEE REPORT: “A Walnut tree in Tennessee 
scaled 1150 board feet and brought $164.84.” 
The Walnut is Easily Transplanted, 
Grows Fast, Bears Early, and 
Produces Large Crops. 
If the Native Walnut will grow in your 
section—IT HIS TREE WILL GROW! 

“A Walnut Tree in my yard brought $85.00 for timber 
and many limbs were left me for stove wood.”—Smith 
County, Texas. 
“The ten little trees gotten from you are all living and 
making fine growth. They are only a few months old, 
but one of them is bearing.”—Willard Parker, manager, 
R. L. (Lloyd) Wheelock Ranch, Corsicana, Texas. 
“The Walnut trees came in fine and are so nice. They 
are all you say for them and more.’”—Conroe, Texas. 
“Record of 4-5 ft. Walnuts: 1st year, 18 nuts; 2nd 
year, 19 nuts; 3rd year, 72 nuts. The tree grew about 
10 inches the first year, but over 34 feet each suc- 
ceeding year.” This is not unusual. 
PENNSYLVANIA: “These trees fully double ordinary 
Walnuts in growth.” 
MISSISSIPPI: “My little 4-5 foot tree bore 16 nuts 
the second year. It is bearing this year and making a 
fine, healthy growth.” 
MISSOURI: “The stumps of Walnut trees cut before 
1900 were sold 26 years later for more than the origi- 
nal trees brought.” 
OREGON: “Of two shipments to this state, all trees 
are living and doing nicely.” 
The Walnut is an ornamental shade tree, producing 
valuable nuts and timber. It often bears first year. 
“The Black Walnut and its varieties are more hardy 
than the different varieties of budded pecans.”—U. S. 
Department of Agriculture. 


Properly set and cared for, large trees grow fast 
and bear early. Trees 4 to 5 feet up often bear 
first year. Setting instructions are sent with all 
orders.

trees from us. 
Commercial Settings Should be Fifty 
Feet Apart and Up. Home Settings 
Of Trees may be Thirty Feet and Up. 
Fifty feet gives seventeen trees per acre, but with this 
valuable tree they may be twenty-five feet, giving sixty- 
eight to the acre and thinned later for timber. U. S. 
Government reports a large tree that has averaged 
$2.17 per year in timber growth. This is over 100 per- 
cent on cost of little trees. Do you know anything else 
as safe that can beat it? 
OAKLAND, ORE.: “A Walnut tree sold by M. L. Mc- 
Kinley for $25.00 was cut into $25,000.00 worth of 
veneer, which went into furniture for the state capitol.” 
ILLINOIS: “A Walnut tree has been reported in this 
state which measures 6 feet 6 inches across the stump.” 
Walnut timber is in greater demand than mahogany, 
and more valuable. Living life insurance for hundreds

“The little Walnuts are much faster growers than Pe- 
cans for us. They have been set two years and five 
have 101 large nuts. They certainly bear early and 
some will measure 10 feet tall.” 
Snyder, Texas
