Excerpt from Nuts for Profit: A Treatise on the Propagation and Cultivation of Nut-Bearing Trees Adapted to Successful Culture in the United States, With Extracts From Leading Authorities

In presenting this pamphlet, the object has been to, in a measure, gratify the cravings of the horticultural public on the subject of Nut Culture as the demand for this knowledge, through the great numbers of letters continually received, is evidence of the increasing interest manifested in this fascinating and profitable industry.

While I will not attempt to treat the entire list of Nuts that might be grown in the United States, I will confine myself to those most familiar in our markets and that can be produced at a profit.

As the cultivation of edible Nuts for commercial purposes in this country is yet in its infancy, and the literature on the subject very limited, and as Nuts, like pomaceous fruits, do not succeed equally well in all sections, I have drawn from the writings of the best authorities, as I have found them in the magazines and periodicals, which, together with my own observations, will give the experiences from various sections of the United States, and may be the better adapted to the localities and conditions of all.
