WHICH NUT TREE SHALL I PLANT ? 
Nut trees are handsome by nature, prized as 
lovely ornamentals and desirable shade trees. 
Require little care — just a chance to grow. 
Probably the best, most sturdy nut tree for 
zones 4 through 9 is the Black Walnut. Hardy and 
disease free—a truly magnificent tree. Because 
of the toxic effect of the tree roots, plant shallow 
plants—such as violets, Vinca minor, or lawn 
grasses—beneath it. Pecans in new hardy 
varieties can now be

northern climates. Though the nuts are somewhat 
smaller than the southern varieties, they are ex- 
tremely delicious and flavorful. 
If you have less space—perhaps you can add 
Nut Trees to your garden, lawn or back yard— 
Hazelnuts (Filberts) or Chestnuts would ade- 
quately meet your requirements. Filbert bushes 
may be planted with other shrubs—the hand- 
some foliage is particularly outstanding in the 
fall. But it is best to plant several Filbert bushes 
to insure proper pollination. 
91 NC 6899—CuInESE CHESTNUT. (Castanea mol- 
lissima). Chinese variety introduced in the U.S. 
for its wonderful resistance to the blight which 
ravaged native American Chestnut trees. 
Handsome spreading shade tree. Chinese 
Chestnuts are sweet and delicious and shell out 
easily. Attractive catkin blossoms make tree de- 
sirable for its ornamental value. Plant in well 
drained soil in sunny location. Hardy.
