ENGLISH WALNUTS

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT PLANTING, CULTIVATING AND HARVESTING THIS MOST DELICIOUS OF NUTS

(Compiled by Walter Fox Allen)

(Copyright 1912)

Foreword.

Realizing the tremendous interest that is now being directed by owners of country estates everywhere to the culture of the Persian or English Walnut, I have compiled this little book with the idea of supplying the instruction needed on the planting, cultivation and harvesting of this most delicious of all nuts.

I have gathered the material herein presented from a large number of trustworthy sources, using only such portions of each as would seem to be of prime importance to the intending grower.

I am indebted to the United States Department of Agriculture and to numerous cultivators of the nut in all sections of the country.

I have aimed at accuracy and brevity—and hope the following pages will furnish just that practical information which I have felt has long been desired.
