Miller's Hardy Nut Trees for Home Planting 
Selected Varieties that Bear Early 
THOMAS BLACK—World’s Heaviest Producer. Our grafted Thomas black 
walnuts are best to plant. Why? They are thin shelled, meats come from the shell 
in quarters and halves. The trees are rapid growers and produce big crops early. 
Often bear the third year. The big plump meats have the true walnut flavor and 
easily sell for 75c per pound. Plant a few trees for your own use. If you have 
room, plant more for profit. Don’t forget that the walnut is one of our most beauti- 
ful shade trees and also very valuable for lumber.

CHINESE CHESTNUT—A hardy blight 
resistant tree that the U. S. Dept. of Agri- 
culture introduced here from China to take 
the place of our native American chestnuts 
destroyed by chestnut blight. Chinese 
chestnuts average larger than our native 
varieties and actually are better in quality. 
They grow quite rapidly in a spreading 
form and produce nuts in about three to 
four years. Trees should receive clean culti- 
vation until August Ist or use heavy mulch 
treatment. Use no fertilizer the first year. 
Subsequent years, fertilize, cultivate or 
mulch as for fruit trees. Two or more trees 
required to produce nuts. Spring planting 
best. Plant a few trees this spring. The 
nuts are really delicious and the trees 
ornamental. 
Prepaid: 2 to 3 ft. $1.85 each 
3 for $5.25, 10 for $15.00

CARPATHIAN WALNUT (Circassian walnut). At last we 
can offer a paper shell Persian or English walnut that is com- 
pletely hardy. 
Rev. Paul C. Crath, engaged in missionary work in the Car- 
pathian Mountain highlands, noted these hardy English walnuts 
growing in this severe climate, where winter temperatures go to 
40-50 below zero. He was greatly impressed with the huge 
size of some of the trees which had lived for more than a 
century in this rigorous climate. One tree belonging to a 
doctor there produced 1300 pounds of nuts in one season. 
Reb. Crath knew that these trees would be a valuable addition 
to nut culture in the colder regions of the U. S. and Canada. 
He carefully selected nuts from about 50 of the finest trees to 
bring back to his home near Toronto, Ontario. This was some 
20 years ago and the fruits of his labor are now available to 
all. Trees from these nuts have now fruited regularly and have 
proven perfectly adapted to our cold northern climate. The 
trees that we offer are from this original hardy productive 
strain. 
Nuts vary in size from that of the California English walnut to 
three times this size. Nuts fall free from hull. The tree is an 
early producer of superior quality nuts. Even if they did not 
bear delicious nuts, they would be invaluable for lawn and 
landscape planting for their ornamental value alone. The 
light colored bark and dark green tropical-looking foliage 
give beauty and distinction to any setting. Trees often live 
to be over 200 years old and grow to 75-125 feet. Our trees 
are self-fertile so that one tree planted alone will produce nuts.
