THOMAS BLACK WALNUT 
N1 When the long cold evenings of winter come, what 
a pleasure it is to crack some Black Walnuts to eat or 
for fudge, or for mother. She can use them in so many 
different ways and what a delicious flavor they add. 
Everybody likes Black Walnuts, but the common 
Black Walnut is small and it is hard to get out the 
meats. 
Now you can have an improved grafted Black Wal- 
nut, which is giant size with kernels much larger, bet- 
ter flavor and much easier to get out. Thomas is fast 
growing and produces very large nuts. It is the great- 
est nut tree of the country. You should plant it be- 
cause— 
1. It bears very young, often second year after plant- 
ing. A mature tree will produce 15 to 40 bushels of 
giant size nuts which sell for $4.00 or more per bushel. 
2. The nuts are immense size as pictured above. They 
‘crack easily so the meats come out in halves and quar- 
ters. A bushel of nuts cracks out 10 to 12 pounds of 
meats. 
3. The nuts are delicious flavor and because they are 
so large and plump and come out in halves and quar- 
ters they sell for 75c or more a pound. 
4. It will grow in almost every state in America. It is 
not particular as to soil but of course will do best in 
rich soil with plenty of moisture. 
5. Plant a tree or two for your own use. If you have 
room, plant more for profit. You can easily sell the 
big nuts at high prices. Plant 50 feet apart and 2 or 3 
inches deeper than they stood in the nursery. 
6. In time the tree will grow large and walnut logs are 
becoming scarce. If you wished you could sell the trees 
for lumber at a good price. We doubt, though, if you 
would do this because the nut crop is so valuable. 
These are grafted trees and grow rapidly.

The Thomas Black Walnut, Actual Size 
MYERS BLACK WALNUT 
N2 This new variety is very highly recommended. 
Mr. Hirschi who is a practical, experienced horticul- 
turist and one of the best qualified nut experts in 
America, considers it the best he has ever fruited. It 
bears young. The nuts are not as large as Thomas but 
the shell is thinner so that a bushel of Myers cracks 
out as much and perhaps a little more than the 
Thomas. The quality is especially rich. 
While Thomas is now the most widely planted variety 
we believe that as Myers becomes better known that it 
will equal or surpass Thomas. It is making a remark- 
able record. Especially on thinner ground, Myers is 
better. These are grafted trees and start bearing young. 
‘N5 Mintle—This new variety originated in Iowa. It is about the 
same size as Myers. It also is thin-shelled, easily cracked, the 
meats coming out in quarters. Very high quality light colored 
meats. Should do extra well especially on good ground. These 
grafted trees bear young.

Thomas, Mintle and Myers are all self-fertile but we be- 
lieve that planting several varieties so they can cross- 
pollinize will increase the yield. 

THOMAS WALNUT SEEDLINGS 
N4 These are young trees grown from the nuts of the Thomas 
Black Walnut. They are far better than trees grown from the 
ordinary black walnut. Half or more of these trees will produce 
nuts almost as large as the Thomas. If you have room, plant a 
grove of these. You will get excellent nuts which sell at good prices 
and the trees will grow into a valuable grove. Every farm has 
room somewhere for some of these. They will soon grow into 
money.
