Nut Trees 
The Linn County Nurseries 
Stratford is the earliest bearing shagbark we have, and it is a heavy pro¬ 
ducer. The smooth, white, thin-shelled nuts crack very easily, the kernels often 
come out whole, and have splendid quality. It is one of the earliest to ripen, in 
early years ripening here in late August. This variety grows well on bitternut 
stocks, and has given some wonderful results top-worked on them. 
Hagen is our most rapid growing pure shagbark, and coming from Northern 
Iowa, we believe it one of the hardiest kinds. The nuts are large and crack out 
over 40% meats, mostly in halves, and are unexcelled in richness and flavor. 
Des Moines and Burlington Hiccans and the grafted Northern Pecans are 
sold for the spring of 1936. They should be available in the fall of 1936.

THE WINKLER HAZEL makes a splendid ornamental shrub 6 to 7 ft. high 
and produces the largest nuts of the native hazels. In good seasons they some¬ 
times get as much as 1-1/8 in. across and have the splendid flavor of the small 
wild hazelnut. The Winkler bears in one or two years from planting, and a 
single bush given plenty of room produced 6 lbs. of nuts in the unfavorable year 
of 1935. It either is self-pollenizing, or is easily pollenized by wild floating 
pollen, for bushes planted far from other hazels bear well. Pollenation is not 
the problem it is with the filbert varieties. In the fall, the foliage is especially 
attractive with scarlet and bronze tints. 
Two-year old transplants of layers or divisions can be supplied in the fall 
of 1936. In the spring of 1936 a few early orders can be filled with one-year 
transplants at: 
50c each $4.00 per 10 
Seedlings of Winkler can not be expected to come true, but should be 
better than ordinary seedlings, and are suitable for planting in shrubbery bor¬ 
ders, or for erosion control. 
One-year plants.75c per 10 $6.00 per 100 
Seedling Hazels from other open-pollenated seed of various hazels and fil¬
