NUTS 
. BLACK WALNUTS 
Black Walnuts like deep rich soil, They grow rapidly when established. 
For orchard planting they should be spaced 60-80 ft. apart. Better crops are 
assured if two or more varieties are planted, unless there is wild pollen pro- 
duced near by. 
\ THOMAS. Is the best Known variety and succeeds over 2-3 
a wide territory. The tree grows rapidly and bears 3-4 ft. AAS 
young. The nut is large, hulls out easily, and eas- 4-5 
ily cracks out in halves and quarters. 
~ SPARROW. We have just a few plants of this walnut. 3 
It is a good variety to include with your Thomas 4- 
plantings for trial. 
HICKORIES 
The hickories are the most difficult group of nuts to propagate and trans- 
plant, but once well established are very persistent. They will do well on 
any soil providing it has good drainage. All the hickories listed are of the 
shagbark group, unless stated otherwise.
