Dear Sir: 
In response to your valued inquiry for Grafted Nut Trees, I am en- 
closing my Price List and other information regarding these trees. 
Grafted Black Walnut trees are among our fastest growers, as well 
as the youngest to come into bearing among edible tree crops. 
Many varieties start to bear as early as the second and third year 
after planting and it is always best to plant several varieties 
f or good pollenation. These trees are among our hardiest trees 
and are adaptable to a very wide rangee I am often asked which 
varieties are the best, but this is a hard question to answer 
as we do not ail have the same opinion... Study the record shect 
and make your selection. They arc all good or ‘they would not 
have been approved and named. 
These named improved varieties have been discovered by different 
people in difforcnt parts of the United Statcs and have proved to 
have outscancing merits as compared with our native or wild ones. 
Thev are young bearing, excellent crackers, having high kernel 
perscertage with sweet and light colored kernels of superior qual- 
ity. They arc also among our longest lived trees. They produce 
an annual crop of one of mans! best foods, senled in a tight pack- 
age thet never spoils and with never a worm in the nuts. 
Value of nut meats in the diet as given by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, 
of Battle Creek, Michigan are as follows: l1# of Black Walnut 
meats issequal to 4# of Becf; 63# Beef Ribs; 54 Veal; 444 Mut- 
ton; 8# Ham; 10 Chicken Broilers: 133# Oysters; 5# Eggs and 9s# 
Milk. . 
My Nut Trees are propagated, sold, carefully hand dug, and pack- 
ed for shipment by myself. They have a strong root system, and 
have proved to transplant very satisfactorily. I .am very parti- 
cular in obtaining my graft wood, to be sure they are true to name, 
Nut Tree Nurseries are few and the demand for trees is growing 
ty ieaps and bounds, and in the past I have shipped Nut Trees 
to all parte of the United States, without ONE complaint, but 
considerable repeat orders.and complimentary letters, as shown 
on the reverse side. My suggestion is that if you sare in the 
market for Nut Trees, get your order booked as soon as possible 
while the varieties and sizes are still to be had. Later you will 
have less to choose from, as well as completely sold out, result- 
ing in-one_year's time lost, which will never return. 
Yours very truly,
