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 stock, 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 (also called Marquardt) Hiccans are grafted on 
Hardy Pecan roots so are adapted to rich bottom soils.

THE WINKLER HAZEL makes a 
splendid ornamental shrub 6 to 7 ft. 
high 
and produces the largest nuts of the native hazels. They have the splendid 
flavor of the wild hazelnut and in good seasons may be over an inch across. 
The bushes bear when two or three feet high and a single large bush has 
produced over six pounds of nuts. In severe climates the staminate catkins 
may be winter-killed, in which case there would be no nuts produced unless 
a wild hazel or some kind known to be a good pollinator were planted close 
by. Farther south Winkler is reported as bearing very regularly, and more 
satisfactorily than Filberts. In fall, Winkler foliage is very attractive with 
scarlet and bronze tints.

THE NORTHERN NUT GROWERS’ ASSOCIATION is an organization of 
progressive people of many different vocations who are interested in the ad¬ 
vancement of nut culture. An annual report is published which contains up- 
to-date information on the subject and is well worth the $2.00 membership 
fee. All interested in nut trees should join. Memberships may be sent to 
Carl F. Walker, Treas., 2851 East Overlook Road, Cleveland, Ohio.
