All Our Nut Trees, with the exception of 
Hickory and Chestnut, Are Grafted on 
Native Black Walnut Stock 
: which assures you of hardy trees that will 
adjust themselves to almost any soil condition. In 
order that these trees will have proper roots to 
promote rapid growth and early productivity, we 
scientifically develop a strong and vigorous root 
system. A small tree with heavy roots will attain 
greater height in a shorter time, than a newly-set- 
out tree which is taller, but lacks sufficient root 
fibres. 
PLANTING GUIDE 
When trees are received unpack them with care. 
Immediately heel them in the ground. As soon as 
possible dig the holes where the trees are to be 
planted. This hole must be large enough to spread 
all the roots out. Plant nut trees as deep as they 
were in the nursery. A dirt line will indicate where 
on the bark. If they are set a little deeper no harm 
is done, but do not set them shallow. The best 
fertilizer is well-rotted cow manure mixed with one 
good handful of agricultural lime for each tree. Mix 
this into the soil you use for planting the tree. Put 
a layer of this mixture into the hole; spread the roots 
on this and continue to fill the hole until top level 
is reached. While putting soil in, firm it around the 
tree and finish up by building a saucer-shaped ring 
around the tree for water. 
Nut trees need water and good air circulation. 
Choose a high elevation if possible and do not fear 
cold weather. It will not harm them. Any place you 
would consider proper for a peach orchard will be 
ideal for nut trees also. Spring is the favorite plant- 
ing time.
