THE FRANQUETTE, while originally a French variety, has become known in Oregon commercially as THE. ENGLISH WALNUT Being a late bloomer, it escapes the spring frosts. It is VERY -HARDY. This means that it requires little or no care. It is PROLIFIC. This means big crops and large incomes. It is FREE FROM DISEASE. This means no spraying. THE FRANQUETTE is a very large walnut, rather oblong, being pointed at apex and slightly flattened at the base. The shell is medium to thin, well sealed and thick enough to ship well. The quality is excellent, having a sweet, rich, nutty flavor. The kernel is plump, filling the shell. SUMMING UP: The Jacobs-Stine Company is planting the best variety of wal nut obtainable a walnut that will bring from 2 to 4 cents a pound more than the imported nuts. The same thing applies to every thing in connection with the Riverside Orchard Tracts.
