CULTURE 
OF NUT TREES 
Pecan and Walnuts: It is much 
better to have the holes dug before 
the trees arrive from the nursery. 
Regardless of whether the holes 
have been prepared or have to be 
dug, keep the root system covered 
with moist material until the trees 
are planted. Wolfe's Pecan Trees, 
machine-dug and whole rooted, will 
require a hole at least 40 inches 
deep and 30 to 36 inches in diam- 
eter. WOLFE has gone to a great 
expense to secure a Pecan root sys- 
tem that will LIVE. The tap root 
has been cut approximately 38 
inches below the ground and all of 
the lateral roots above the cut hav 
been preserved. Dig the holes large 
enough to receive the roots without 
bending and deep enough to set 
the trees 2 inches deeper than they 
stood in the nursery row. This 
depth can be determined by closely 
examining the bark. The bark that 
was below the ground will look 
dark; that which was above the 
ground will be a grayish color. The 
off-set on the trunk and the paint 
mark used for labelling should not 
be mistaken for the ground level. 
When you plant your Pecan or 
Walnut trees fill the space around 
the roots with only fertile top soil. 
DO NOT PUT FRESH MANURE 
OR COMMERCIAL FERTILIZER 
IN THE HOLE. Pack the soil 
around the roots to eliminate air 
spaces. Pour water in the hole as 
long as the ground will absorb it 
completely. When the soil is filled 
with water, do not water any more 
until the trees need moisture during 
the dry months. When trees are 
watered continuously, the soil be- 
comes mushy and oxygen is driven 
from around the roots. Such con- 
dition results in the trees failing to 
produce foliage in the spring, even 
though the bark remains green. If 
the roots cannot get oxygen, the 
trees will eventually die. 
After the trees have been set in a 
permanent location, wrap the trunk 
loosely with burlap or heavy paper. 
The height of the wrapping materi- 
al will depend on the size of the 
tree, but it should extend to and 
not above the first branch. The 
wrapping material will prevent 
borers from getting into the trunk 
and will also protect the trunk 
against sun scald. When the trees 
have developed enough top to 
shade the trunks during the hottest 
part of:the.day, the material may 
be removed.

TAN I-NASHI 
The most beautiful tree and fruit grown. Picture a tree 
with large, green, waxy leaves like a Magnolia just covered 
with large, orange-red Persimmons that make a dish fit 
for a king. The leaves turn all shades of beautiful colors 
during autumn and after they fall you really have a 
show of big fruit. We have never been able to grow 
enough trees to supply the demand. Persimmons will 
grow from the Gulf Coast and as far north as cotton. 
A long, bright orange Jap Persimmon that is seedless. 
Finest quality to be had. We have picked Tane-Nashi 
when snow covered the ground. What a beautiful sight! 
Persimmons with a white snow background! It is frost- 
resistant and widely adapted. Deliciously flavored. Plant

A very hardy variety with a most delicious flavor. Some- 
times seedless. Big red fruit literally cover the tree and 
hang until soft ripe. Our system of using fruit-buds 
causes Wolfe-grown trees to produce young and heavily.

thick cream, Eureka is a dish fit for a king. Eureka is
