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.

HIRSCHI HARDY PECAN 
Hardy, Thin Shelled, High Quality, Bears Young and Heavily 
N 40’ Hirschi Pecan is a new variety found near Kansas City by 
Mr. A. G Hirschi, the eminent authority on Nuts, specializing on 
Walnuts and Pecans. Unlike most Pecans, the Hirschi starts bearing 
very young, bears regularly and heavily. The nuts are good size, very 
thin shelled and crack easily into full halves. The quality is very high, 
having the rich full flavor of the native pecan. 
We have it growing at Hamburg but it will be several years before we 
know exactly how far north it can be grown. We know that it lives, 
bears and matures its nuts fully near Kansas City. We do not advise 
planting the Hirschi farther north than Hamburg until we learn more. 
The tree with its rich green foliage, perfect form, is attractive enough 
to plant in your front yard. 
We believe this is the best hardy, high quality, thin-shell Pecan. Mr. 
Hirschi informs us that it not only extends the Pecan area hundreds 
of miles farther north, but that tests have shown it to be remarkably | 
successful in the regular Pecan sections of the south. So few trees are 
available that we will sell only 1 tree to a customer as we want to get 
them distributed as widely as possible.

ps CHINESE 
“) CHESTNUTS 
Blight Resistant 
Large, Sweet Nuts 
Beur Very Young 
N17 These Chinese Chestnuts 
are seedling trees from selected 
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, Pecan and Chestnut frees are slow to start. After 
digging hole, fill it with water, twice is betfer 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 if 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.
