blossoming after the Franquette extend the pollinating season and 
increase the crop, especially in years when rain and other condi¬ 
tions prevent the Franquette from pollinating itself in good shape. 
In the King Pollinizer we have a tree blossoming after the 
Franquette, ever since coming under our observation. Other pollin- 
izers have been found to vary their blossoming time and are there¬ 
fore unreliable. The King has a nut similar to the Franquette and 
sells with it, requiring no hand sorting. It ripens at the same time 
and does not require a separate picking and drying. It has a very 
long catkin with more than the ordinary amount of pollen. The cat¬ 
kin remains on the trees a long time. All of these qualities make 
this the finest pollinizer discovered.

CHINESE WALNUTS 
In the Chinese we have one of the hardiest “English” walnuts 
that grows. Trees are growing in Iowa where other English walnuts 
kill back to the ground while these are uninjured. Seed nuts for these 
trees were imported from North China where they were gathered 
by seed collectors.

HEARTNUTS 
» 
Heartnuts are varieties of the Japanese walnut. The nut takes 
the unusual shape of a heart and it cracks with the meat out whole. 
It is a rich nut highly esteemed by many. Difficult to propagate. 
This year we have but one variety, the Lancaster. Trees of the 
heartnut are said to be hardy as far north as Winnepeg, Canada.
