_ plete line of plums, each one the best 
_ of its kind. All are budded on hardy 
plum seedlings—not on peach. (Be- 
: ware of southern plum trees for the 
. northwest because many of them are 
_ budded on peach stock.) All Gurney 
_ Plums are extra hardy. They include 
7 of the hardy Hansen plums: Waneta, 
_ Opata, Oka, Sapa, Kaga, South Dakota 
and Tecumseh. Mt. Royal is of Cana- 
dian origination. Underwood and Su- 
_ perior are Minnesota varieties. 
Set 18 ft. apart. 130 to the acre. 
amd don’t forget that they not only 
Risince a lot of delicious fruit but 
make beautiful decorative trees for 
_ the yard.

“Northwest’s 
Guueys Better NUT TREES 
Grow Them for Shade—Beauty—Food—Firewood—Lumber 
Here is the finest selection of nut trees 
you will find. All good varieties that will 
do well for you. Most of us don’t grow 
enough of them, probably because we just 
don’t think of it. Nut trees should be 
grown for more than nuts. Most of them 
make good shade trees and also produce 
fine lumber, fence posts, or firewood. And 
all of them are attractive trees that you'll 
be proud to have on the place. 
THOMAS BLACK WALNUT 
The Thin-Shelled Walnut 
A4130—The Thomas Black Walnut has 
much more meat and much less shell than 
the ordinary Black Walnut found in 
our woods. Giant nuts have kernels 
much larger, better flavored and 
easier to get out of shell. Grows 
fast and bears young. Mature tree 
will produce 15 to 40 bushels. Per- 
fectly hardy anywhere that ordinary 
Black Walnuts will grow. Plant 40 
to 50 ft. apart, 2 to 3 inches deeper 
than the tree stood in the nursery.

GRAFTED PECANS 
The secret of getting grafted Pecan trees to live is to dig 
them with a long root. We do. Which is also why we have to 
ship them express. Pecans. are heavy bearers of valuable nuts 
—will pay your taxes. Plant at least 35 feet apart. There are 
a considerable number of these Pecan varieties growing and 
bearing in southern Iowa. Would recommend caution in plant- 
ing north of that latitude,
