(Juglans nigra) root. This tree is. The Plaeentia Walnut. Reduced one-third. a stronger, more vigorous grower, and adapts itself to a wide range of locations. It is said to have a decided influence on the soft-shell walnuts, causing them to grow more vigorously, bloom later, thus escaping the late frosts in the spring. In addition to this, grafted or budded trees will be found to be true to the parent tree. Indifferent suc- cess has been met with in grafting and budding the walnut thus far, so that the de- mand has always far exceeded the supply. Years of careful manipulation in this class of special work places us in a position to supply all varieties on demand. Much of the difficulty in getting walnuts to bear can be attributed to the male blos- soms maturing either before or after the female flowers are in the receptive stage. The walnut, pecan, and in fact, all the nut trees, outside of the almond, are mono- ecious or bisexual; that is, the flowers of both sexes although produced on the same tree, do not occur in the same flower. To overcome this trouble, when planting an or- chard, not more than two or three rows of a variety should be planted together, or the rows can even be alternated, and by follow- ing out this plan, it is almost a certainty that this barrenness can be overcome. Many of the French sorts being late bloomers, find congenial situations in many section
