HARDY NUT-TREES 
There are good nuts ta 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. 
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.
