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.
