ill tilt* following tibiil.ited record were put in from May 20th to July 

 2()tli .•ind were well "mixed tojrether" in the hope of giving better 

 opportunity for cross pollcnization, a few of every variety except the 

 Hales being put in every day. The Hales were all put in late in July. 

 I have grafted many other varieties of fruits and nuts but a record ot 

 the hickorv onlv is shown below:

The last two series of the Hales made 100% start also but bugs killed 

 three grafts. 



U. W. T. means a tree from which all the lower limbs were cut back 

 to about a foot or eighteen inches and grafted, a few top limbs having 

 been left intact. 



T. W. T. means a tree from which the top had been cut, the lower 

 linib.s and stub having been grafted, although a few of the lower limbs 

 were not sawed off. 



A study of the above record is interesting. All of my stocks arc of 

 tlie mockernut type, varying from three-fourths to two inches in di- 

 ameter, except a few trees to which I refer speciall}' as T.W.T. and 

 U. W. T. It will be noted that the Weiker and the Vest made the 

 poorest catches. It could not have been due entirely to weather con-
