This is a Royal Burbank walnut brought from California, in 

 1911. It stood in a yard in Brooklyn until 1917. It did not grow 

 well there but since we have brought it out here it is growing and 

 bearing, as you see. It is a hybrid of the California black and the 

 Eastern black. The nut itself has not much value. The leaves are 

 rather smaller than others. It would not compare with the propagated 

 varieties. It is only considered as a rapid growing tree. 



Here is a row of Beaver seedlings. This one is a typical shagbark. 

 This one is like a bitternut. Every once in a while you will find a tall 

 one with buds like the old tree. Thej^ are all Beaver seedlings from 

 nuts gathered at the same time from the same tree. 



Here are chinkapin seedlings grown out of doors. I simply threw 

 them on the ground and covered them with leaves. 



Here is a dead Japanese walnut tree. It died of a fungus, melan- 

 conium. You can see the fungus all the way down the trunk. It is a 

 weak fungus and sometimes if the tree is nourished properly it will 

 disajDpear. 



This is a Lancaster heartnut. And so is this. One is much more 

 prolific than the other. Both grafted on Japanese stock. It is bearing 

 pretty well. It was put out in 1918. 



Here is a Kentucky hickory. It had about 24 nuts, but they have 

 fallen off. 



This is a ^loneymaker jjecan. It is growing finely. I bought this 

 tree from J. B. Wight, of Cairo, Ga. I also have a Burkett from 

 Texas. 



There is a Paragon chestnut which has escaped the blight. Fungus 

 is beginning on the end of the branch, however. 



Two years ago we had a whole row of these Boone chestnuts. This 

 is the only one left. They were all in bearing then and a good many 

 quarts of chestnuts were gathered. Some of them died in 1922 and 

 more in 1923. 



From here up, the trees are hickory (Hales) on pecans. They are 

 ten years from the graft, and planted here from Monticello, Fla., two 

 years ago. 23 out of the 24 trees living. 



There are 12 varieties of Japanese persimmons, bought from 

 Texas. This one shows winter-killing but will apparently live. (Hay- 

 akuma persimmon). 



Here is a Jap. persimmon (Kawakami). It has not borne yet.
