My mode for planting them is to plow
and fit my ground as for potatoes. Mark
off the ground and plant the potatoes, and
then put tho nuts between— i. e., between
the hills one way. They will generrTv
appear as soon as tho potatoes; but T have
known them to lie in the ground the fir.-i
season and oorfte up the next spring. 1
always made my row foifr feet apart when
; I plant potatoes with walnuts. If the nuts
j grow well they will be rather thick; but
: they can he tended with potatoes for two,
years, and transplant so as to make them
! of the required distance apart,
i 'The enquirer will see that the use of
j the ground will not be wholly lost by thi
j manner of planting. If they are planted
in drills, it would be quite a job to tiaus
plant them; for it requries considerable
spading round the roots to get them up
right, as thev have a strong lap root.
I always plant them where I want them
Ito grow, and then enlarge rnv patch by
transplanting. I think that they do a«
well transplanted, yet it saves a great
! deal of labor to get as near as you can to
the spot where you want them. The
black walnut is a very good tree to grow,
although it grows very slowly in cornpari
