MICHIGAN EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETINS. 169 



former resident of Allegan county, nuts of a large, thin-shelled pecan, 

 from Texas, were received last fall, and planted last spring, a few of which 

 vegetated, and will be planted permanently if they can be brought safely 

 through the coming winter. 



From the same source we are just now in receipt of a few nuts of Stuart 

 pecan, of very large size, which variety is so highly valued that the nuts 

 are selling for $1.50 per pound for seed. These are bedded in damp sand 

 to be planted next spring. 



ENGLISH WALNUT, OR MADERIA NVT-Jualatis regia. 



The two trees of this came through the last winter uninjured, but 

 neither has made a vigorous growth the past season. 



Two trees of the dwarf variety, prmjjarturiens, have safely passed 

 through the past two winters, and are making more or less growth. 



Whether either of the above will be found adapted to the climate of 

 Michigan, is a matter for grave doubt. 



japan" walnut— jM.(3fJans Seiboldi. 



Trees of this walnut planted in 1890 remain perfectly sound, and are 

 growing very vigorously. The same is also true of two additional trees 

 planted last spring. 



A.LiULO'H'D^—Amygdalus communis. 



A single tree was received from Missouri, labeled " Snelling Almond," 

 doubtless of the hardy class of hard-shelled varieties. This was planted 

 last spring, and has made very satisfactory growth. 



Two trees, labeled " Soft-Shelled Almond," were also received from the 

 Agricultural College, and planted out last spring. One of them was 

 apparently dead at the root when received, and failed to grow. The other 

 has made satisfactory growth. 



FILBERT AND HAZLENUT -Cor?/?r«. 



Plants of the Kentish Cob Filbert were received from the Agricultural 

 College, and planted last spring, and are now in good condition. 



Plants of an unnamed hazlenut were received from the Division of 

 Pomology at Washington, which were temporarily planted last spring and 

 are now bedded in cellar, preparatory to permanent planting next spring. 



Plants of an unnamed hazlenut, indigenous at Puget Sound, are just 

 received from the Division of Pomology at Washington, and have been 

 bedded in damp earth in cellar, to be planted out next spring. 



FIGS— i^'tcMS carica. 



Cuttings of Brunswick Fig were received last spring from H. E. Van- 

 Deman, Pomologist of the National Division of Pomology, which were 

 duly planted, and have now become plants from two to three feet in height, 

 some of them already bearing fruits, nearly or quite half grown. These 

 have now been bedded in earth in cellar, to be replanted next spring.
