The Thomas Black Walnut, Actual Size 
“THOMAS BLACK WALNUT 
N1 When the long cold evenings of winter come, what 
a pleasure it is to crack some Black Walnuts to eat or 
for fudge, or for mother. She can use them in so many 
different ways and what a delicious flavor they add. 
Everybody likes Black Walnuts, but the common Black 
Walnut is small and it is hard to get out the meats. 
Now you can have the Thomas grafted Black Walnut, 
which is giant size with kernels much larger, better flavor 
and much easier to get out. Thomas is fast growing and 
produces very large nuts. It is the greatest nut tree of the 
country. You should plant it because— 
1. It bears very young, often second year after plant- 
ing. A mature tree will produce 15 to 40 bushels of giant 
size nuts which sell for $4.00 or more per bushel. 
2. The nuts are immense size as pictured above. They 
crack easily so the meats come out in halves and quarters. 
A bushel of nuts cracks out 10 to 12 pounds of meats. 
3. The nuts are delicious flavor and because they are so 
large and plump and come out in halves and quarters they 
sell for 75c or more a pound. 
4. It will grow in almost every state in America. It is not 
particular as to soil but of course will do best in rich soil 
with plenty of moisture. 
§. Plant a tree or two for your own use. If you have 
room, plant more for profit. You can easily sell the big 
nuts at high prices. Plant 50 feet apart and 2 or 3 inches 
deeper than they stood in the nursery. 
6. In time the tree will grow large and walnut logs are 
becoming scarce. If you wished you could sell the trees for 
lumber at a good price. We doubt, though, if you would 
do this because the nut crop is so valuable. These are 
grafted trees and grow rapidly.

WALNUTS < 
Carpathian 
“N15 You know what the popular English Walnuts are which are grown | 
on the west coast. These Hardy English Walnuts are like them, not 
quite as large, thin-shelled and excellent flavor. They are hardy, and 
will live and bear in all but the most extreme cold states such as Min- 
nesota, Dakotas, Northern Iowa, etc. Our trees are from selected trees 
in western New York which bear regularly and have proven especially 
hardy. They develop into quite large specimen trees, magnificent as a 
lawn tree and besides bear their wonderful nuts. They generally start 
bearing young.

Newly planted Walnut and Chestnut trees are slow to start. After . 
digging hole, fill it with water, twice is better than once, to thoroughly 
soak the sub-soil. After planting, water again. Then if weather is dry, 
water every 2 weeks. When you water, do it thoroughly. The moisture 
must get down to the roots. A good plan is to take away the soil from 
around the tree, making a basin 4 inches deep and 18 inches across. 
Fill this several times. After water has soaked down, put back 
dry soil filling the basin. We have found that using Ra-Pid-Gro (page 
7) when planting and several times during the summer is beneficial.
