400. RisiEN, E. E. Sovereign pecan. Amer. Nut Jour. 12 : 44. 1920. — The variety was 

 first named "Texas prolific" and later received its present name because of its high quality. 

 The nut is large, oblong, generally symmetrical, bright red to reddish brown in color, and has 

 a plump kernel of fine quality. — E. L. Overholser.

402. Sevier, H. Almond growers' problem. Amer. Nut Jour. 12 : 30. 1920. — The prob- 

 lem is the development of varieties blooming late enough to escape frost. At present the 

 only important variety which blooms late is the Drake, and even this one is not late enough 

 to escape all frosts. — E. L. Overholser.

404. Stickey, H. p. Varieties of pecans for Georgia. Amer. Nut Jour. 12: 12. 1920. — 

 The varieties Alley, Moneymaker, Moore, Pabst, Stuart, Schley, and Teche are recom- 

 mended on the basis of results obtained at the Georgia Agric. Exp. Sta. since 1908. Trees 

 should be planted preferably 50-60 feet apart. — E. L. Overholser. 



405. Taylor, R. H. The nut industry in the U. S. from a practical standpoint. Amer. 

 Nut Jour. 12: 37-38. 1920. — At present commercial culture of the almond is limited largely 

 to California, which produces 99 per cent of the total crop. Commercial production of wal- 

 nuts in the U. S. A. is at present largely confined to the Pacific coast, in fact largely to Cali- 

 fornia, which at present produces 96 per cent of the domestic product. Pecans, however, are 

 best produced in the southern states. — E. L. Overholser. 



406. Weldon, G. p. An old peach under a new name, — Ontario. Monthly Bull. Dept. 

 Agric. California 9:357-362. 1920. — The name Ontario has been substituted for Southern 

 Tuscan. It is quite distinct from the northern variety, Tuskena. The Ontario is round 

 rather flat variety, its leaf serration is more marked, a more regular bearer, has a smaller 

 and more roundish pit with shallow convolutions, and is of much better quality than the 

 Tuskena. — E. L. Overholser .

410. Wylie, D. C. Heavy walnut planting. Amer. Nut Jour. 12:77. 1920. — Shortage 

 of nursery stock is attributed to abnormal conditions created during the war, and to the 

 attempt of the* producer to meet a large increased demand. The northern black walnut 

 {Juglans hindsii) is considered the best stock for grafting. The author outlines the geo- 

 graphical distribution of the new walnut plantations. — E. L. Overholser.
