Georgia nut, kernel, and cross-section. 



22. GEORGIA. — Size large, li/4 x 1 inches: form round ovate, compressed; 

 dark grayish brown, copiously splashed with dark grayish purple; base round; 

 apex abrupt; shell rather thick, brittle; cracking quality medium; kernel 

 broad, light brown, plump; sutures wide, uuretentive; texture open, spongy; 

 flavor sweet ; quality very good. 



The Georgia was originated by Mr. G. M. Bacon of Dewitt. Georgia. This 

 variety is a very early bearer, but is so subject to scab that it has practically 

 been discarded. 



23. LOUISIANA. — Size medium, 1% x % inches; form oblong cylindrical; 

 color grayish brown, marked with purplish brown near apex ; base roundish ; 

 apex pointed; shell rather thick; cracks out well; kernel plump; sutures wide 

 and shallow ; texture solid ; flavor sweet ; quality very good. 



This variety is, with us, a vigorous, spreading grower, with willowy twigs 

 and narrow, light-colored foliage. The trees bore nuts the fourth year from 

 setting. 



24. CAPITAL. — Professor Hume describes this variety as follows: "Size 

 medium to large, 1% x % inches; ovate oblong, compressed with well-marked 

 sutures: color light brown, streaked and splashed with purplish brown mark- 

 ings from center to apex ; base rounded, blunt-tipped ; ai^ex abruptly short- 

 pointed, nippled ; shell brittle, of medium thickness ; partitions of medium 

 thickness; cracking quality very good; kernel plump, filling the shell, brown- 

 ish yellow in color; primary sutures broad and fairly deep, secondary ones 

 well defined, running almost the length of the kernel ; texture rather open ; 

 flavor good ; quality good." 



Though apparently hardy here, the variety has not been a satisfactory 

 grower. 



25. MAGNUM. — Professor Hume reports this variety as being of medium 

 size, ovate in form, with thin shell ; kernel plump, sweet : quality very good. 



In our test orchards it is a spreading grower, but is neither hardy nor 

 vigorous. It is reported as being subject to scab. 



26. DALZELL. — Size large, 2x% inches; form cylindrical, flattened; color 

 dull grayish brown; nuich marked with narrow si)lashes of purplish brown; 

 base roundish : apex abruiitly pointed, quadrangular ; shell rather thick, brittle; 

 cracking quality fair; kernel long and narrow; sutures deep; kernel light 

 brown ; texture firm ; flavor sweet ; quality very good. 



The Dalzell originated near Gainesville, Florida. With us it is a vigorous 

 upright grower, with heavy, broad foliage. It is a little tender here. 



27. MONARCH. — Size large. 2 x 'it inches: form ovate, sloping to both base 

 and apex; color dull grayish brown, splashed with purple; base and apex 

 pointed; shell rather thick; does not crack out well; kernel often poorly filled; 

 sutures shallow, unreteiitive; textiu'e dry, firm; (luality good. 



The Monarch was originated at Dewitt, Georgia, by Sir. G. M. Bacon. This
