HARDY NUT-TREES 
There are good nuts to be grown in the north, 
Chestnuts from seed are young, heavy bearers. 
The grafted Walnuts are hardier and also bear 
heavily and young. These two together are the 
most practical nuts for the north. 
PLANTING and CARE 
The first two years mulch well with hay or straw. 
Water if drought comes. Keep all side buds from 
developing in useless low branches (below 6 feet) 
Do not plant deeper than they were in nursery. 
Grafted Black Walnuts (Zone IV) 
One of our most beautiful native trees, growing 
well in any fertile well drained soil. The grafted 
sorts bear their first nuts commonly in the third 
to fifth year. 
Thomas is a rapid-growing tree. The meat is attrac- 
tive and tasty, falls out easily in halves.
