Mr. Bixby: Top worked hickories are very rapidly coming into 

 bearing. I have heard of them coming into bearing one year after 

 to23 worked, and often in the third year. The best record of a 

 transplanted hickory, I think, is tlie hickorv of Mr. Rush's, which you 

 will probably see at ^Nlr. Jones' tomorrow. That Weiker bore 13 

 years after transplanting. 



Mr. Jones: I think it bore 10 j^ears after transplanting. 



Mr. Bixby: Top worked hickories bear much earlier. I have in 



my yard a tree that bore a few nuts last year which was set out in 



1917, so you see that was eight years. It depends a good deal upon 

 the variety. Black walnuts bear very early. 



The Secretary: I believe that we can promise the membershij-) 

 that we will iniblish the latest list that ^Ir. Bixby can get ready for us. 



Mr. Jones: What liave you to say about the Ten Eyck? 



Mr. NEiLaoN: We planted one at Vineland and it took four years 

 to bear. 



Mr. Bixby: It has the thinnest shell of any black walnut we have 

 tested, and I regard it as of great promise. 



The President: Dr. Galloway is unable to be present and his 

 paper will be read bv the Secretary.
