size, and should be planted 50 to 60 feet apart 
each way in orchard planting, requiring but few 
trees per acre, making the planting cost no more 
than for fruit trees. 
When the head of a nut tree is once formed, 
no more pruning is necessary and as they are 
not bothered by insects, so common to fruit trees, 
spraying is not required. 
Nuts do not have to be gathered as soon as 
ripe. Harvesting may be delayed to suit the con- 
venience of the gatherer. Nuts are not perish- 
ab‘e and may be kept during winter without pro- 
tection from cold, they may also be p!aced in 
cold storage and kept fresh during the follow- 
ing summer.
