PECANS 
Virginia is located in the northern end of the Pecan growing section 
and its culture is not recommended here or north of Virginia as a 
commercial crop, but almost every home owner desires a few trees 
for supplying family requirements, possibly using same for shade and 
ornamental effect. Of course, our customers south of Virginia plant 
Pecans for both commercial and home use. From numerous named 
varieties we attempt to offer only selected ones satisfactory in the 
area we serve. 

At one time the wild, native nuts in 
an assortment of varieties, could be 
harvested in almost all timbered sec- 
tions of the East, but this is no longer 
possible. The American Sweet Chest- 
nut was wiped out by the Chestnut 
blight. The American Shellbark Hick- 
ory Nut has been cut for wood and 
even the American Black Walnut, one 
SCHLEY. Medium to large; thin shell. Kernel full, plump. Nutty, of the most valuable timber trees— 
rich flavor. Good grower. 3-4 ft. $3.50 each, $19.50 per 6, $36.00 has been practically eliminated as a

STUART. Possibly the best known and most extensively planted of nuts it is necessary to cultivate them 
all Pecans because of its adaptability to a wide range of culture. Can just as we are now cultivating fruits 
be grown in the deep South and as far North as any of the South- and other farm crops. 
ern varieties. As the Mayhan becomes better known, it is gaining 
rapidly on Stuart in popularity. 3-4 ft. $3.50 each, $19.50 per 6, 
$36.00 per doz.; 4-5 ft. $4.25 each, $24.00 per 6, $45.00 per doz. 
PAPERSHELL. Medium to large, thin shell, nuts of good quality. 
One of the most satisfactory for this area. Also makes a beautiful 
shade tree. Why not plant a combination tree producing both 
nuts and shade? 2-3 ft. $2.25 each, $12.50 per 6, $22.50 per doz.; 
3-4 ft. $3.00 each, $16.50 per 6, $30.00 per doz.; 4—5 ft. $3.50 each, 
$19.50 per 6, $36.00 per doz. 
MAYHAN PECAN 
New, giant, thin-shell, early bearing Pecan. It is too much to ex- 
pect one variety to possess all the good qualities and none of the 
bad ones, but we do believe the Maynan comes as near meeting all 
requirements as any known variety. The nut is the largest and 
the shell the thinnest of all Pecans we have tested. We have 
observed 4 to 5 ft. trees bearing the second year after being trans- 
planted, but we would not have you expect all to bear that young. 
A pecan is doing good to begin bearing 5 to 6 years after transplant- 
ing. We offer this new, large early bearing thin shell Pecan in 
following sizes: 
S=4 ft o.ncaeewweees $4.00 each, $22.50 per 6, $42.00 per doz.

Chinese 
BLIGHT RESISTANT CHESTNUT 
LARGE, SWEET CHESTNUTS ARE AGAIN A REALITY 
A number of years ago the Chestnut blight destroyed our Native 
American Chestnuts. The U.S. Dept. of Agriculture—after many tests— 
introduced a type of Chinese Chestnut not only blight-resistant, but an 
early-bearer of large, good quality nuts. Trees start bearing when very 
young, often in 2 to 5 years, and succeed anywhere the American Sweet 
Chestnut formerly grew; in fact, they can be grown over a wider area and 
may be grown wherever Pe aches thrive. We recommend planting in a 
well-drained, sunny location. Plant the Chinese Chestnut for attractive 
home ground shade trees and also reap a harvest of delicious, sweet nuts.

Barcelona Filbert 
FILBERT (HAZELNUT) In recent years 
much attention 
has been given this hardy, valuable nut 
which grows into a small, shrub-like tree 
seldom attaining a height of more than 15ft. 
We offer both the Native American and 
the much improved European Filbert. 
Both are adapted to a wide range of soil 
and climate and are being cultivated in 
most parts of the United States; com- 
mercially grown in Washington and 
Oregon. 
Native Americam. The family favorite 
Vilbert. Attractive bush, yielding abun- 
dant crops of tasty, round nuts. Young 
bearer. 3-4 ft. »2. 50 each, $13.50 _per 6; 
4-5 ft. $3.50 each, $19.50 per 6; 5-6 ft. 
Bearing Size, $4.50 each. 
Barcelona. Improved, large English Fil- 
bert. The most extensively planted com- 
mercial variety. Should be planted with 
another variety, providing for cross pol- 
lination. 3-4 ft. $3.50 each, $19.50 per 6; 
4—5 ft. $4.00 each, $22.50 per 6. 
CHINQUAPIN (Castanea pumila). A 
junior member of the Chest- 
nut family. Makes a small, shrub-like tree 
maturing at 25 to 30 ft. Begins bearing 
early—often first year after transplanting. 
De slicious nuts 1 in. in diameter are borne 
singly in chestnut-like burrs, ripening in 
September. Surely you have a place on the 
lawn, in the garden or orchard for some of 
these interesting, ornamental, as well as fruitful little trees. Just think of the 
fun the children can have harvesting Chinquapins! 18-24 in. Bearing size, 
$1.75 each, 3 for $5.00, $17.50 per doz.; 2—3 ft. $2.50 each, 3 for $7.00, $25.00 
BLACK WALNUT Of course, every planter is familiar with the Native Black 
Walnut, but not all are aware of its possibilities. As a timber 
proposition, Black Walnut culture is extremely profitable, especially when 
planted on pasture land, as the Black Walnut does not interfere with the grass, 
which thrives under the trees, and when established, the trees afford shade for 
Livestock. Produces nuts which are now in great demand and grows into valu- 
able timber. We offer root pruned, transplanted trees as follows: 2-3 ft. 
$1.20 each, $12.00 per doz., $80.00 De 100; 3-4 ft. $1.75 eac h, $17.50 per doz., 
$120.00 per 100; 4—6 ft. $2.50 each, $25.00 per doz.; 6-8 ft. 
oo per doz.; 1 yr. 12-15 in. $2.25 per 10, 

ae each, $33. 00 
THOMAS IMPROVED BLACK WALNUT = «re is variation in Wal- 
nuts as in fruits. Only 
by grafting or budding can a variety or special strain be reproduced abso- 
lutely true. Thomas is a selected strain of Black Walnut, with large kernel, 
thin shell and early bearing habits. 3-4 ft. $3.50 each, $37.50 per doz. 
ENGLISH WALNUT A familiar nut in the stores, but it is not generally 
known that the English Walnut can be grown to per- 
fection here in Virginia and other Eastern States. It could mean to the Middle 
Atlantic area what the Pecans mean to the deep South. Two trees on a farm 
here in the Shenandoah Valley have for the past 20 years more than paid taxes 
on the entire farm, besides supplying the family. English Walnut trees require 
no more space and care than Apples, begin bearing just as early. It is not 
unusual for a tree to produce $40.00 worth of nuts per season. 3 yr., 2-3 ft. 
$3.00 each, $33.00 per doz.; 3 yr., 3-4 ft. $3.75 each, $42.00 per doz.; 1 yr., 
18-24 in., $1.25 each, $12.50 per doz., $85.00 per 100.
