northern nut tree nursery stock. Due to conditions prevailing the past few years the number of varieties now have 
been greatly reduced. Nevertheless the following list should give a tree planter a good start or further add to his 
plantings.

countries that the original stock was brought to Canada some 20 years ago and since propagated in our nursery 
here in Michigan. The trees have a battleship gray colored skin, leaves large, glossy and nicely scented.
