THOMAS 
Walnut Trees 
For the past few years we have been leaving 
the Thomas Walnut out of our catalog, not be- 
cause we did not like it, but we just had failed 
to grow any trees. This year we have them in 
sizes up to four to five foot. They are a big black 
walnut, very prolific in bearing quality and good 
for eating and to use. Can be shelled as good as 
the English Walnut, shell just little harder. Try 
them, they are fine. Make a good shade,

“Texas Almond 
Some people have the mistaken idea that the Al- 
mond is a nut tree but they are budded and grafted 
onto peach roots and will grow and do good any- 
where peaches will. So plant an Almond and let 
your kids be surprised as to where they come from. 
3-4 foot $1.50; 4-5 foot $2.50 
~ Chinese Pistachio 
This plant is often called a nut tree 
and is related to the Pistachio of com- 
merce. We will not be able to get any 
more seed from China and offer only a 
few of these trees. The tree is one of 
the strongest growing trees known. It is 
a very attractvie tree and has crotches 
like no other plant. In the fall when the 
weather begins to get cold the leaves 
become a flaming red and a large tree 
is a thing of beauty.

Successful Planting and 
Care of Stock on Arrival 
When you order your trees we pack them to 
ship as quickly as we can during shipping season 
and according to your instructions. We try to not 
ship any out that will encounter severe cold before 
arriving, however, it is impossible for us to always 
get them to you before a blizzard arrives. In case 
your trees do freeze enroute do not unwrap them 
but store and let them gradually thaw out as they 
would naturally if in the ground. They are packed 
to stand lots of cold. If they reach you in normal 
weather they are packed to keep for several days 
but get them out as quickly as you can never let 
your trees dry out. If you do not have your ground 
ready for planting heel them in a trench and keep 
watered. 
The ground where you are planting your trees 
should be carefully prepared by deep plowing and 
firming down with a disc and harrow, The holes 
for planting must be large enough to accommodate 
the roots freely, without cramping or bending. All 
broken or bruised root or limbs should be cut off 
so as to leave the end smooth and sound, All trees 
should be planted two or three inches deeper than 
they stood in the nursery row packing the soil 
firmly about the roots by tramping with your feet. 
Never’ put manure or fertilizer so as to come 
into contact with the roots or body of any plant 
or tree newly set. 
Be sure to give good cultivation as fruit trees 
are just like any other crop planted on land, they 
have to have good care to pay dividends.
