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 $1.25 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. 
5. 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.

HARDY 
ENGLISH 
WALNUTS 
\ { e 
‘Carpathian 
N 30 You know what the popular English Walnuts are which 
are grown on the west coast. These Carpathian English 
Walnuts are just like them, thin-shelled, fine flavor but the’ 
Carpathians are far hardier. They will live and bear in all but 
the most extreme cold states like Minnesota, Dakotas, etc. 
Our trees are propagated by grafting from a selected tree 
which started bearing young, heavily, regularly and has 
proven hardy. They develop into quite large specimen trees, 
magnificent in the lawn or back yard. They generally start 
bearing young. You get a handsome shade tree and the excel- 
lent nuts besides. Grow quite rapidly.

Blight Resistant 
Large, Sweet Nuts 
Bear Very Young 
Vy 17 These Chinese Chestnuts 
y come from Mr. Hirschi, one 
of America’s best known Nut 
Tree Specialists. They are 
seedling trees from selected par- 
ents which he has found to be 
superior. They start bearing 
very young, the larger sizes 
bear generally just a year or 
two after planting. The nuts 
are large, sweet, fine flavor. 
They develop into rather large, 
handsome trees, attractive enough to plant in your lawn as a shade 
tree. They are entirely hardy with us but we do not recommend 
planting them where temperature regularly falls to more than 15 
below zero. Yields will be larger if you plant two trees so they can 
cross-pollenize.

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. 
It is a quick acting fertilizer, stimulating growth.
