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 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.

THE WINKLER HAZEL makes a splendid ornamental shub 6 to 7 feet high 
and produces the largest nuts of the native hazels. They have the splendid 
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 pro- 
duced 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 another 
hazel of some kind which is a good pollinator is near 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.

TURKISH TREE HAZEL. 30 feet or more. This hazel grows into a beauti- 
ful tall pyramidal tree which does not sucker. 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 enclosed by 
bracts having curly lacinated tips. This very attractive tree is fully hardy in 
central Iowa but it also is extremely rare. 3-4 ft. 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. Depart- 
ment 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 the 
most up-to-date practical and scientific information published on the subject 
and is well worth the $2.00 membership fee. All interested in nut trees should 
join. New members will receive both the report of the previous and current 
year. Memberships may be sent to D. C. Snyder, Treasurer, Center Point, Iowa.
