BRESLAU WALNUT 
We recently introduced the Breslau walnut to the public. It 
was originated by the plant breeder, E. Russ, at Halsey, Oregon, 
but from seed imported by him from Breslau, Germany. 
Breslau is in the cold region of Germany, close to Poland 
and also near the northern limit of the walnut in Europe, about 
52 degrees north. Ice on the lakes there is two feet thick in the 
winter and seasons are short. We have the tree growing in Mis- 
souri, Massachusetts, Idaho and other cold sections. 
The nut is huge and fills well where the tree is well-fed and 
watered. It is a heavy bearer. Nut quality is fine. This year we 
have a limited number of trees growing on Iowa black walnut root.

We have been on the outlook for hardier and 
better trees of all varieties and this year we are 
able to offer you some of the Combe Almonds, bred 
by plant breeder Combe, high in the Rocky Moun- 
tains. These varieties have stood 25 degrees below 
zero.

PERSIMMONS 
We have the most extensive persimmon experi- 
mental plantings in the northwest. We have found 
these to be rather tough trees once started but 
difficult to transplant. By adopting better rooted 
stocks and packing carefully we are making a 
success of this new and wonderful fruit. This year 
we have three varieties. 
Tamopan. Standard large sized fruit of North 
China. Fruit is flattish with indented circle. Very 
heavy bearing. 
Honan Red. Large, deep red colored fruit. Colors 
early. 
Sheng. A smaller sized fruit. We have found very 
good and it ripens the earliest of any we have seen.

GRAPES 
If you have tried to raise Huropean grapes such 
as are raised in California, you have found they do 
not ripen in the Willamette Valley. However, we 
have been able to secure grapes of the Huropean 
varieties that will ripen. Some of these, like the 
Csaba and Plavec, stand temperature as low as 20 
below zero. 
Csaba. It comes from Hungary. There it is grown for a table 
grape and shipped to the Scandinavian countries for a table 
grape, with the culls made into wine. Ripens weeks ahead of 
the Concord. Has stood 29 degrees below zero and produced 
a good crop the next summer. It is covered with straw in 
eastern Washington to prevent its starting in warm winter 
spells and being frosted later. Green berry with creamish 
tinge, sweet and firm. Ripens in August in Willamette Valley 
but much earlier in Idaho.

Plavee. From Croatia where it is grown by the thousands of 
acres. A big blue grape, great compact bunches, and a strong 
growing vine. Used mostly for wine in Europe, it is also a 
great table grape. Suitable only for home use and local 
markets, as it cannot stand much handling or shipping. It 
grows well up in the mountains of Europe at about 40 degrees 
north latitude, where ground freezes to a depth of two feet.
