A STRIKING CONTRAST IN 

 SEEDLINGS 



Here are two seedling hybrid wal- 

 nuts of the same age, grown from nuts 

 of the same tree, and having had pre- 

 cisely the same care. They are second- 

 generation hybrids, hence the wide 

 variation in size and vigor of growth. 

 One of these plants will grow into a 

 gigantic tree; the other will remain 

 dwarfed always. Obviously there are 

 fine opportunities for selection among 

 the seedlings of the hybrid walnuts. 

 The larger tree grew to six feet above 

 the ground the smaller one only one 

 and one-fourth inch.
