liiU', midway between the IMaeeiitia and 

 tile FraiKiiiette. Tlic growtli is tliiifty, 

 although the tree ultimately does n<it 

 become very lai'ge. The nuts are har- 

 vested early in the fall. It is a good 

 bearer and conies into bearing earh. 

 Like all late vafieties, it is fairly im- 

 mune to blight. This variety seems well 

 adapted t<( hot sunny regions and light 

 dry soil. It is a very good variety, al- 

 though the nuts are small. 



Hureka. — This variety originated in a 

 seedling tree at Fullerton, (California, 

 from nuts obtained near the Meek 

 place near Haywards, California. The 

 desirable quality of this variety was 

 first appreciated by Fischer and Ware 

 of Ciarden drove. The nut is of large 

 size, decidedly elongated with parallel 

 sides, apex and base of equal breadth 

 or a little thicker at the apex, rather 

 rectangular or square in end view. It 

 has (luite a smooth surface and the 

 sutural ridges are not prominent. They 

 are very uniform and the nut is easily 

 distinguished from any other variety. 

 The shell is rather haril, medium thick, 

 heav\ and very well sealed. The meat 

 is white, plump and easily extracted 

 after cracking, avepaging -l.'i to M per 

 cent of total weight. While the shell is 

 extra heavy, the flavor is very good. 

 The growth is extremely vigorous and 

 rapid, making a large tree with heavy 

 and abundant foliage, and has a char- 

 terlstic of growing its nuts in and 

 under the leaves, thus protecting them 

 from the sun. In first looking at a tree 

 it would seem a poor bearer, but when 

 you get under the tree and look up 

 throu.yh the foliage you will find it 

 heavily loaded. This tree conies out in 

 the siiring. about the same time as the 

 Mayette, the buds beginning to swell 

 about April Kith. It harvests its nuts 

 early in the fall, before the Mayette and 

 considerably earlier than the F'ran- 

 (luette. It is an early and heavy 

 bearer, surpassing all other varieties in 

 this resoect. During my observations 

 it was the most blight resisting of any 

 of the walnuts, not onlv because it 

 comes out late in the sprin"', but I pre- 

 sume on account of its extreme vit'or 

 it actually resists the blight. The 

 Fureka has scarcelv a touch of blight. 

 I do not believe there is anv variety of 

 walnut that is not toucheil lightlv by it 

 imdei' the blight conditions. While the 

 late-blooming varieties are resistant in 

 dry localities, in moist districts and 

 under poor soil conditions they are 

 sometimes touched. The Fureka is nat- 

 urally free from perforation, probably 

 on account of its strong shell. It is also 

 free from sunburn on account of its 

 abundant foliage and thick husk, as 

 well as bearing the nuts under and 

 among its foliage. It comes nearer to 

 filling the requirements of an ideal wal- 

 nut than any of the other varieties. II 

 shoidd, however, be grown on heavy 

 soil with good moisture conditions. As 

 Ihe tree is such a vigorous grower and 

 heavy bearer, withoid sullicient mois- 

 ture and nutrition it woidd be impos- 

 sible for the tree to be sustained 

 and produce large crops of number 

 one nuts.
