22. Torrev luit pine from southern California. Nut is large, and' 

 has a fine flavor. I get my seeds from Bartner Brothers. Pines do not 

 do so well near cities. The suliahites in the air are picked up by the 

 pines and this kills them. This particular pine is a surprise to all 

 botanists who have seen it; it is native in California and is one of the 

 disappearing pines. I have liad five of them and I raised them all 

 from seed. 



23. Chinese hazel. Grafted on common hazel and outgrowing it, 

 The Chinese hazel makes a tree from 80 to 100 feet in height. This is 

 the first year this tree has borne. It is grafted on common stock, 

 and is beginning to bear earlier than it would have done on its own 

 roots. 



2-i. Butternut parthenogens. Some are large and some small but 

 all are grown under the same conditions. That one was defoliated by 

 the canker worm and then by the tent caterpillar and this is the 

 fourth set of leaves it lias ))ut forth this year. 



2.5. Hybrid wilnut (Siebold x butternut) four years old. 



26. Grafted American walnut. Peanut variety. Only one chubby 

 half of kernel to each shell. The scions were sent here from Washing- 

 ton, D. C. 



27. Mediate shagbark grafts (Cook variety). Grafted July 10 

 in midst of great drought. Compare this with the trees you will see 

 farther on in the walk, grafted near the end of the drought. I do not 

 have much trouble with the plain splice graft and I expect it to start 

 ten days after I put it in. 



Here is the way I treat a borer, although 1 have two or three ways 

 of doing this. First J find a hole on the tree, like this one. Then I 

 follow down to where the borers work. I cut that part away, inject 

 chloroform and fill up the opening with common kitchen soap. 



28. American Chestnut. Merribrooke variety, root-grafted on 

 Japanese chestnut. I grafted that very low, below the ground. It 

 is the best chestnut I have among several thousands that I planted. 

 This tree was one of the first to go down with the blight, but I have 

 grafted on other scions and have kept it going ever since. 



29. Dresher chestnut (European origin) grafted on .Japanese 

 chestnut. The graft is about three years old. It his borne since the 

 first year. There are several nuts on it now. 



(Now we must be careful of the sharp stubs in the woods. These 

 are newly cut brush paths, and all guests wearing low shoes should 

 step carefully). 



30. Stanley shellbark hickory, grafted on pignut hickory. ]\Ir. 

 Jones introduced this hickory. 



31. Kentucky shagbark grafted on shagbark stock, with bark slot 

 graft. I let anotlier twig grow from the same lead for nourishment. 

 I put in three grafts here two of which are dead. I do not quite ap- 

 prove of that method. I prefer now to go up to the small branches and 

 then si^lice-graft on small branches.
