  and 
  of 
  excellent 
  quality. 
  Hazels 
  form 
  a 
  source 
  of 
  income 
  for 
  some 
  

   localities 
  like 
  the 
  wheat 
  or 
  corn 
  in 
  other 
  parts 
  of 
  the 
  world, 
  or 
  the 
  

   olive, 
  as 
  Dr. 
  Smith 
  told 
  us 
  last 
  night. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Holden: 
  Do 
  they 
  get 
  these 
  trees 
  from 
  seedlings? 
  

  

  Dr. 
  Morris: 
  Yes, 
  so 
  far 
  as 
  I 
  know. 
  The 
  nuts 
  are 
  called 
  

   Constantinople 
  nuts. 
  

  

  A 
  Member 
  : 
  What 
  kind 
  is 
  it 
  that 
  blooms 
  in 
  the 
  fall? 
  

  

  Dr. 
  Morris: 
  I 
  don't 
  know 
  any 
  but 
  the 
  witch 
  hazel 
  which 
  

   blooms 
  in 
  the 
  fall; 
  has 
  a 
  small 
  yellow 
  flower, 
  but 
  is 
  not 
  a 
  true 
  hazel. 
  

   Catkins 
  form 
  upon 
  all 
  hazels 
  in 
  the 
  fall, 
  but 
  these 
  do 
  not 
  really 
  

   blossom 
  until 
  springtime. 
  

  

  A 
  Member: 
  I 
  would 
  like 
  to 
  ask 
  if 
  the 
  Byzantine 
  hazel 
  is 
  at- 
  

   tacked 
  by 
  blight 
  as 
  are 
  the 
  others? 
  

  

  Dr. 
  Morris: 
  No; 
  none 
  of 
  my 
  trees 
  have 
  been 
  attacked 
  by 
  

   blight 
  at 
  all 
  as 
  yet. 
  

  

  W. 
  C. 
  Reed: 
  What 
  method 
  of 
  budding 
  do 
  you 
  find 
  most 
  

   successful? 
  

  

  Dr. 
  Morris: 
  I 
  have 
  usually 
  used 
  the 
  ring 
  budding. 
  It 
  is 
  not 
  

   very 
  difficult.- 
  

  

  Professor 
  Hedrick: 
  Are 
  there 
  any 
  East 
  Asia 
  hazels 
  that 
  thrive 
  

   in 
  this 
  country? 
  

  

  Dr. 
  Morris: 
  There 
  are 
  specimens 
  in 
  the 
  park 
  here 
  at 
  Rochester 
  

   that 
  you 
  will 
  see 
  this 
  afternoon. 
  

  

  Professor 
  Hedrick: 
  Our 
  experience 
  with 
  Asiatic 
  hazels 
  is 
  

   Tery 
  satisfactory. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  McGlennon: 
  A 
  friend 
  of 
  mine 
  here 
  has 
  some 
  specimens 
  

   that 
  he 
  would 
  like 
  to 
  present. 
  

  

  Dr. 
  Smith 
  : 
  We 
  will 
  ask 
  Mr. 
  Vollertsen 
  to 
  describe 
  the 
  specimens 
  

   himself. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Vollertsen: 
  They 
  are 
  from 
  a 
  private 
  place 
  of 
  G. 
  H. 
  

   Perkins 
  on 
  East 
  Avenue. 
  They 
  have 
  never 
  failed 
  a 
  year 
  since 
  1886. 
  

   Unfortunately 
  we 
  have 
  no 
  name 
  for 
  them, 
  except 
  that 
  this 
  one 
  was 
  

   always 
  called 
  John 
  Jones. 
  It 
  has 
  certainly 
  proved 
  a 
  good 
  strong 
  

   hardy 
  variety. 
  

  

  Then 
  we 
  have 
  another 
  one, 
  a 
  long 
  one, 
  which 
  has 
  never 
  been 
  

   named, 
  and 
  I 
  am 
  not 
  able 
  to 
  say 
  exactly 
  what 
  it 
  is. 
  Last 
  year 
  they 
  

   were 
  exceptionally 
  well 
  filled. 
  This 
  year 
  there 
  are 
  not 
  quite 
  so 
  

   many 
  on 
  them, 
  although 
  a 
  goodly 
  number. 
  They 
  have 
  never 
  failed 
  

   a 
  single 
  year. 
  

  

  I 
  have 
  one 
  little 
  variety 
  which 
  was 
  given 
  me 
  by 
  Dr. 
  Mann, 
  on 
  

   Alexander 
  Street. 
  The 
  limbs 
  are 
  practically 
  hanging 
  down 
  with 
  

   the 
  nuts. 
  They 
  are 
  ready 
  for 
  market 
  now, 
  falling 
  out.
