Abstract: Reduction Continued in Many VarietiesUse This Sheet When Ordering Your Nut Trees and Mail Order to Downingtown, Pa.This nursery is National headquarters for scientific information on northern nut culture. Specimen Tree List on RequestAfter many years of scientific research and practical experimenting, I present to the public, the best species and varieties for any given section.Being the only commercial nut tree nursery doing intensive research and checking on performance of varieties, I am the first to eliminate old varieties and to introduce new ones.It is no small thing to plant a variety that was thought to be good and learn later it is inferior, neither is it good business to plant and then learn there are better new varieties to be had at the John W. Hershey Nursery.The difference in cost between my trees and others is your warranty for getting better stock and against loss in transplanting.Remember, "The Hershey Way is the Safe Way." * Many people do not know what is meant by "The Hershey Way."It is the proper handling and caring for our trees while growing and shipping that gives you the best possible tree for your money.One of the out-standing features is the method of wax dipping all stock, sealing up the vitality of the tree from the time it is dug! until it starts to grow.With this method losses in nut tree planting fade out of the picture, whereas with the unwaxed method ten to twenty per cent losses are nearly always the rule.
