Yet many good specimens may be seen at different points throughout the state growing in soils varying from sandy to loamy, and even heavy clay. The one main requisite being plenty of moisture with sub- soil that will permit free root penetration. Considerable difficulty in starting the young tree is experienced, particularly in the inter- ior valleys—due mainly to the excessive heat, as the tree is quite subject to sunburn the first year or two after planting. Being a late bloomer no danger from frost is encountered. Trees should be planted from forty to fifty feet apart each way. After the head of the tree is formed little pruning will be necessary except to remove the branches that may A GOOD EUREKA WALNUT THE WALNUT VARIETIES AND DESCRIPTIONS We know of no other nut tree that will yield such abundant crops and at so little effort or expense as the walnut. While it prefers rather loamy, deep, rich soils and responds quickly to good and thorough cultivation, it has been known to furnish excelent crops when planted under adverse conditions and attended with much neglect. We graft our walnuts on California black walnut root which renders them adapbable to a very wide range of soils and at the same time promotes a strong, robust growth. Commercial plantings should be set from forty to fifty feet apart each way, for the trees are very large when fully grown. The holes should be not less than three feet deep and two feet in diameter. There is more or less difference of opin- ion with regard to pruning the walnut tree. But there is one thing certain regardless of the height of the tree when planted it should be cut back to three and one-half feet from the ground and a system of pruning carried on which will pro
