Hybrid Watnuts 
In Mr. Burbank’'s 
catalogue of 1894, a 
picture was given of the 
first nuts ever borne by 
the Paradox walnut, his 
celebrated hybrid between 
the Persian walnut and the 
California black walnut, 
“These nuts,’’ he said, “as 
would be expected, arc a 
complete combination of 
the two species in every 
respect; one was tested, 
the others planted, and 
variations are now in or-- 
der.” The variations ap- 
peared in due course, as 
this picture, showing the 
fruit of later genera- 
tions, amply testifies.
