GILBERT L. SMITH & SONS NURSERY 
SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR 1955--56 
Our trees are small this year due to the “fact ‘that the stoeks grow 
slowly in our new location. However livability should be good and 
when the trees are planted in good soil, growth should be satis- 
factory.

HICKORIES 
We have no hickory trees for sale this year as we had no stocks 
available for grafting last spring. Expect to have some next year. 
Prices for above species of trees are found on the last page of our 
catalogue. 
\GHINESE CHESTNUTS 
We have a very good strain of Ohinese chestnuts. They are winter 
hardy, bear good crops of good size nuts of good quality, and are 
very blight resistant. Out of more than forty twenty year old 
trees only one shows any sign of blight.

SEED NUTS 
\ 
CRATH CARPATHIAN STRAIN OF PERSIAN WALNUTS 
Seed nuts are again available of our Crath Carpathians. All from 
good varieties, including many of our best Varieties. We were not 
able to get nuts of all of our varieties this year because of the 
ravages of squirrels. They take the nuts before they are ripe. 
We have received good reports from the seednuts we have sent out 
in the past. Germination has been good. 
Growing of Crath Carpathians from seed nuts is practical as one is 
practically sure of securing trees which will bear good nuts. Out 
of more than fifty seedlings we grew from seed, only one was worth- 
less. All of the others would be worth propagating if it was not 
for the fact that some varieties are better than others and only 
the best varieties should be propagated by budding or grafting. 
Price of nuts is $.10 each or $1.00 per dozen. Postpaid. Instructions 
for care of nuts and planting will be sent with each lot of nuts.
