Excerpt from Nut Culture in the United States: Embracing Native and Introduced Species The advocates of the nursery period of long duration claim for their method (1) greater ease and less expense of cultivation of young trees in the nursery row than in the orchard; (2) less liability to injury of the trees during such cultivation by ordinary farm help; (3) increased facility of cropping the contemplated orchard site without the presence of small trees, and the consequent increased profit from such cropping; (4) a more uniform stand of orchard growth when the plantation first comes into bearing.
