Nut medium size, roundish; shell medium soft. Tree shaggy grower, blooms late; abundantly, a popular commercial sort. This variety is splendid for borders, tree bears well when planted alone. I. X. L. A strong upright grower; nut large, generally single kernals; but perfect, hulls easily, no machine needed; bleaching unneces- sary in many districts. A widely grown vari- ety. NONPARIEL. Of a weeping habit of growth, smaller foliage than the I. X. L., but still forms a beautiful tree. The nut is large, long and narrow, kernel of excellent quality, bears heavy and regularly. NE PLUS ULTRA. Nut large and long; generally single kernels; fine flavor, hulls readily, regular and heavy bearer; tree of strongest growth. An old standard sort. TEXAS PROLIFIC. Closely resembles Drake's Seedling. Kernel very plump and of medium size, soft shell. Valuable to plant with other varieties for pollenation, most vigorous grower. As a regular and sure cropper has no equal. CHESTNUTS This nut tree does best when planted on river bottom land. 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
