HARDY NUTS 
Make Wonderful Shade Trees. 
Beautiful shade trees that produce an abundance of healthful nutritious food. Require 
no care, no spraying. Fully resistant to pests and blight. So easy—when nuts are ripe they 
fall to the ground. You gather a lifetime of pleasure and good eating. 
English Walnuts and Black Walnuts are self-fruitful. However, they will bear earlier 
and heavier if you plant two of either one. Plant them 30 ft. apart. Chinese Chestnuts require 
cross-pollination. Plant two or more of them 15 ft. apart. Two different varieties of Filbert 
Nuts are required for cross-pollination to insure satisfactory crops. Plant at least one each 
of Barcelona and DuChilly 6 ft. apart.
