PLANT NUT TREES.

They Prove the Better of All and
are More Popular.
Nut growing is receiving attention in
some parts of this Peninsula. 1t has been
found by experience says the Chronicle
that the Japanese chestnut and the English
walnut will thrive and produce well in the
vicinity of Milford. On w. p Corsa's farm
near Shawnee, large tree produces Eng
lish walnuts to perfection, and several
others not SO old are scattered among our
farmers. On DR.. Rays farm at the John
son Mills" the japanese chestnut has been
experimental with. He has 100 of these
trees which are very promising, that bore
several burs last season. He is setting $50
more this spring. DR.. Ray is also planting
out an assortment of Persian, English and
Japan walnuts and about fifty pecan, hazel
and other nuts. He will have apout six
acres in nut bearing trees. In California
the nut groves are more profitable than the
fruit orchards, and if Delaware can pro-
duce nut bearing trees with profit, it will be
a new field of profit. We would advise
every farmer to plant dozen or more nut
bearing trees as an experiment.
