ON PAPER-SHELL WALNUTS 



experiments in which this hybrid is used as a 

 parent will lead to the development of altogether 

 new races of nuts that will have economic 

 importance. 



The entire matter of the development of com- 

 mercial nuts has only recently begun to attract the 

 attention of the orchardists. There is reason to 

 expect that the developments of the next few gen- 

 erations will be comparable to the progress of the 

 past century in the development of orchard fruits. 



The edible nuts are destined 

 to occupy a far more important 

 place in the dietary than they 

 have ever had before, at all 

 events in the temperate zone. 

 And the walnut is in the 

 van of the new movement.
