Nut Trees The Linn County Nurseries 
often come out whole, and have good quality. It is one of the earliest ripening 
kinds. This variety grows well on bitternut stock, and has given some won- 
derful 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. 
They require more age before beginning to bear than most kinds. 
Des Moines, Burlington (also called Marquardt), and Bixby Hicans are graft- 
ed on hardy pecan roots which adapts them to rich moist bottom soil.

THE WINKLER HAZEL makes a splendid ornamental shrub 6 to 7 feet 
high and produces the largest nuts of the native hazels. They have the splen- 
did flavor of the wild hazelnuts 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 is planted close by. 
Farther south Winkler is reported as bearing very regularly, and more satis- 
factorily than Filberts. In fall, Winkler foliage is very attractive with scarlet 
and bronze tints. 
All sold till the fall of 1941. 
TURKISH TREE HAZEL. 30 feet or more. This hazel grows into a beau- 
tiful tall pyramidal tree which does not succor. The corky, light yellowish- 
gray bark is very attractive, and characteristically furrowed with age. The 
foliage resembles that of the hazel bushes. The nuts are fair sized and en- 
closed by bracts having curly lacinated tips. This very attractive tree is fully 
hardy in central Iowa but is also extremely rare. 3-4 feet trees, $1.50 each. 
GRAFTING WAX. Nut Tree Grafting is usually done later than fruit tree 
grafting and nut tree cions are much slower starting so are often still dormant 
when some very hot weather comes. The waxes commonly used break up or 
separate in such weather and penetrate between the cion and stock hindering 
or preventing a union. After much experimenting the U. S. Department of 
Agriculture has developed a wax which does not do this and so gives a much 
higher percentage of successful unions. It is composed only of Rosin, Beeswax, 
and Kieselguhr and we are pleased to offer it at 50c per pound or $4.00 for 
ten pounds. Postage additional. Try this for any grafting and see if it does 
not greatly increase the success of your work, and especially under unfavorable 
weather conditions. 
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 D. C. 
Snyder, Treasurer, Center Point, Iowa.
