Here is ;i M.icC .illi^ttr pecan; originated from between the Wabash 

 and Ohio liivt-rs. 



Those are Thomas black walnuts; tliey have been out five years, 

 and ha\ f not yet borne. 



This is a Ten Eyck; it has made good growth this year and is a 

 heavy bearer. Tin's is a McCoy black walnut. This tree is bearing 

 heavily this year, and bore one nut last year. It is about five or six 

 rears from the nursery. The parent tree is from near Rockport, Ind., 

 -and is a very large one. 



Here is an Ohio; it came from Mr. Jones. I think. Tliese trees 

 are bearing heavily; they have been set out 5 or 6 years. 



These trees are Lancaster heartnuts. They will probably bear 

 heavily one year and less the next. 



(Here catkins and nuts were found on the same branch, and a 

 photograph was made). 



Mr. Reei>: There will probably not be any Lancaster here next 

 sjn-ing; the late growth has devitalized the tree. 



Here is a California black walnut but it has not grown verv sue- 

 cess fully. 



Here is a Stranger heartnut from South Carolina, bearing. 



Here is an O'Connor hybrid walnut on black walnut. The whole 

 tree is 3^ feet high ; splendid growth for one year. The parent tree 

 is in ^laryland, about two miles from Mr. Littlepage's place. 



Here is a Lancaster heartnut which has borne every year, without 

 a stop; you see it is planted in a chicken yard.
