There are many hundreds of varieties of northern nut trees, the following have been found most suitable and popu- 
lar and should give a tree planter a good start or further add to his collection. 
The walnut Juglans Regia) is the oldest fruit known. It is at least 10,000 years old. 
CIRCASSIAN WALNUT, KING OF NUT TREES—a paper shell Persian or English Walnut (JJuglans Regia). This 
tree grows in many parts of the world; the hardiest is found in Russia, Poland and Northern Carpathian moun- 
tains where winter temperatures at times drop to more than 40 degrees below zero. It was from these countries 
that the original stock was brought to Canada some 20 years ago and since propagated in our nursery here in 
Michigan. The trees have a battleship gray colored skin, leaves large, glossy and nicely scented. Nuts vary in 
size from that of the California English walnut to three times this size. Nuts fall free of hull. In Canada this va- 
riety has been a heavy producer and thousands are now growing in many of the northern states. Becomes a large 
tree. Growth rapid. Early bearing. Strong vigorous.

CHINESE SWEET CHESTNUT (Castanea Mollissima) blight resistant from the Tientsin district northern China. For 
two weeks of early summer this tree is a riot of yellow blossoms. Grows fast. Nut is larger and just as sweet as our 
native sweet chestnut which the blight has killed throughout the country. The blossom, foliage and fruit of this tree 
make it worthy of a place on any property. Hold their golden brown dried leaves during winter. Tree grows 20 to 
35 feet. Not selfpollinating, therefore more than one must be planted to produce nuts, preferably three or more. 
The late Mr. C. A. Reed, Asst. Pomologist U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, Beltsville, Md., stated that the parent chestnut 
trees of our nursery stock were of pure strain, heavy consistent bearers of large, highest quality sweet nuts. The 
trees we now offer are three years old and many are now bearing in the nursery rows. Sturdy stock.
