JUGLANS CALIFORNICA. Jl C.LANS NiGRA. HYBRID WALNUT. 



Staminate Parent. I'istillate Parent. All Life Size. 



Hybrid Walnut— " ROYAL." ^ 



Juglans Nigra yc^ Juglaris Calif or yiica. 



Unlike the hybrid just mentioned, this one produces nuts in abundance and 

 of the largest size, as may be seen from the life-size photo-engravings. The quality, 

 also, is very much superior to that of either parent. The meat, which is very large, 

 and parts more readily from the shell, has none of the disagreeable strong taste of 

 the common American Black Walnut, and much more sweetness and character 

 than the California Black Walnut. 



In foliage, growth and general appearance the characteristics of both 

 parents are about equally combined in the hybrid. Bearing nuts when young, 

 and abundantly as it does, a promising new field is opened for producing still 

 other variations. 



The nuts germinate freely, and, though varying within certain limits, yet 

 reproduce the rapid growing parent hybrid form with only an occasional rever- 

 sion. Seedlings of the Royal will probably be hardy where the American Black 

 Walnut thrives. Not a tree or a nut of this new hybrid has ever been sent out 



before.

"His insignificant little farms — trifling patches of ground — which would invite the 

 scorn of the average horticulturist, are the central point of an eager observation proceeding 

 from every enlightened corner of the earth." — San Francisco Call. 



"The work is wonderful; it is marvelous. He has no specialty unless the entire vege- 

 table world may be expressed as such. The scientific methods which he follows, and the 

 results, are not excelled or even equaled. Many of our experiment stations expend large 

 appropriations with results that are valueless in comparison." — W. W. T., Detroit, Mich. 



"He stands easily at the head of the world's great experimentalists in plant life." — W. A. 

 B., Philadelphia, Pa. 



"No man of later years has done half as much to promote scientific agriculture. It 

 would be impossible for even the imaginative mind to attempt to estimate or describe the 

 changes which will be wrought in the world by horticulture in future years." — San Fran- 

 cisco Call. 



"It will be better for Burbank and better for humanity if we give him more encourage- 

 ment while he is with us and fewer monuments when he is gone." 



"M. Luther Burbank, de Santa Rosa, a expose en suite les moyens quil considere les 

 meilleurs, surtant par I'hybridation de certaines varieties, pour produire de nouveaux fruites 

 et de nouvelles fleurs." — Journal de la Societe Nationale d'Horticulture de France.
