WALNUTS 
Тһе best soil for Walnuts is a strong clay, rich and somewhat stony; hence, many aeres of Jand which are difficult to culti- 
vate for ordinary crops are available for Walnuts. Never plant these trees in pipe-clay or undrained soil.

The most desirable variety of this class. Tree of low growth;

Juglans Cordiformis. Differs from the Juglans Sieboldi- 
ana in form of nuts, which are broad, pointed and flattened. 
Nuts medium size, shell thinner than Sieboldiana, and if 
cracked longitudinally the kernel can be removed entire; 
the meat is of good quality. Tree a very vigorous grower: 
attains a great height and has a magnificent head. A very 
valuable acquisition; perfectly hardy. We consider this the 
best of the Japan Walnuts. Destined to become a valuable 
nut for market. 
Juglans Sieboldiana. A native of the mountains of Japan. 
Extremely hardy und vigorous grower. Of symmetrical and 
beautiful form. Three-year-old trees in our nursery have 
produced nuts; wonderfully productive. Nuts produced in 
clusters of from 12 to 20 nuts each. Shell thicker than that 
of the English Walnut, but not so thick as that of the Black. 
Meat is sweet and of the best quality. The tree has an abun- 
dance of fibrous roots, and transplants readily. 
Can supply Walnuts in immense quantities. Price per 1,000 will be given on application

CULTURE —Blackberries thrive on almost any soil, but the 
most desirable is a strong loam, retentive of moisture, tending 
toward clay rather than sand, but soil must be well drained at 
all times. Fertilizers containing a good proportion of potash 
are the most desirable; too much humus or nitrogen will in- 
duce a rank growth of wood at the expense of the fruit. Asa 
preventive for rust, spray with copper sulphate solution during 
the fall and winter, and with Bordeaux (4-6-50) during the 
spring and summer. The rows should be 6 to 8 feet apart and 
the plants from 3 to 4 feet in the row, according to the charae- 
ter of the soil. If desired to eultivate both ways, set the plants 
in eheeks 6 to 7 feet each way. Ав soon as the fruiting season 
is past remove the old canes; these should be burned at once, 
The young canes should be clipped off when they reach the 
height of about 2 feet; this will eause them to branch and they 
will become self-supporting. Apply fertilizer during the late 
winter and give shallow and constant cultivation. 
Agawam. Fruit of fair size, jet-black, sweet, tender and 
melting to the core. Productive. Late.

One of the most popular sorts. Early. 
Mersereau. A most valuable variety. Fruit of immense

lar market sort. 75 cts. for 10, $3.50 per 100. 
Wilson's Early. A fine, very large, early sort. Of excellent 
flavor; ripens finely. Very productive, and one of the best 
market sorts. Ripens end of May.

CULTURE.— Use short, stout stakes driven at the end of each 
row of canes, with across-piece 18 inches long nailed to each 
stake 2% to 3 feet from the ground. On the top, near each end 
of these cross-pieces, drive a stout nail slanting toward the 
stake upon which to catch a wire. Two lines of No, 14 galvan- 
ized wire, one on each side of the row, are fastened to one of 
the end stakes and run on the ground between the rows to the 
other end stake. These wires are now drawn as taut as pos- 
sible and securely fastened to the other end of the row. The 
wire on each side is now raised, pressing the canes inward, and 
caught on the nails, thus holding all the canes closely together 
in the row. 
Austin’s Improved. After trying this variety for several 
years, we pronounce it, with confidence, the best Dewberry 
for this climate. Fruit very large, subacid, vinous, but of 
second quality. Enormous bearer. The most productive 
marret variety we have ever grown, as it is 8 to 10 days 
ahead of any other. Strong and vigorous grower and stands 
our hottest summers perfectly. Free from rust. Twenty-five 
2-year plants produced forty quarts of immense berries.
