 grown extensively, but indicates that it is rather a light bearer. 



The Glady is a very large nut of good quality, but the mar- 

 ket does not favor large nuts with rough shells. 



The Eureka, Concord, and Wiltz have been tried on a very

 bearing. 



There are many conflicting reports concerning the Wiltz, 

 but it is in the list which should be tried very sparingly. The 

 soft shell types, such as the Santa Barbara and the Santa Rose, 

 are not suited to the climatic conditions in Oregon. They are a 

 type of nuts which should be confined very largely to Southern 

 California. 



The French strains are seemingly the only ones that it is 

 safe for us to plant extensively. 



It is too early to be able to state just what the yields and 

 profits from English walnut growing in Oregon will be. We 

 know there is a tree in Northern California that has produced 

 712 pounds of nuts in a single year, and it is not uncommon to 

 hear of trees producing more than 200 pounds of nuts. These
