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.
