Nut Trees The Linn County Nurseries 

HAZELS. The Winkler Hazel has been in greatest demand of all the nut 
varieties and is completely sold out until the fall of 1944. This kind makes quite 
a compact shrub 6 to 7 feet high and bears the largest nuts of the native hazels. 
The summer foliage is excellent and in fall very attractive with scarlet and 
bronze tints. 
WINKLER SEEDLINGS. From the true variety. A very limited supply. 
only, is available. These may resemble Winkler or vary widely from it but 
should make good shrubs and occasionally one might,be superior to the par- 
ent. They are easy to transplant and will grow rapidly especially if peat or 
leaf mold is freely mixed into the soil. — 
1 year plants, heavily rooted, 1 to 2 feet. $2.50 per 10. 
FILBERT SEEDLINGS. These are grown from seed of a few kinds which 
have survived the tough Iowa winters that wiped out most of a long list of 
European varieties planted about twenty years ago. They should be hardy to 
central Iowa. They grow tall and do not succor like American hazels. The 
nuts fall to the ground when ripe and are variable but mostly of good size 
and splendid quality. Excellent for tall screens. 
1 year, heavily rooted plants, 1 to 2 feet. $2.50 per 10. 
HELMICK HYBRID BUTTERNUT SEEDLINGS. Rapid growing wide- 
spreading trees with light colored bark and very large leaves. Nuts resemble 
native Butternuts in every way except that they are produced in long compact 
clusters of up to a dozen. 
1 year, very heavy plants, 18 to 24 inches. 50c each. 
BLACK WALNUT SEEDLINGS. From Thomas and other named kinds. 
These can not be expected to reproduce the parent variety but should be much 
superior to wild walnut seedlings on the average. 
1 year, heavy 12 to 18 inches. 50c each. 
GRAFTING WAX. Nut Tree Grafting is usually done later than fruit tree 
grafting and nut tree scions are much slower starting so are often still dor- 
mant when some very hot weather comes. The waxes commonly used break up 
or separate in such weather and the oil or fat they contain penetrates between 
the scions and stock hindering or preventing a union. After much experi- 
menting 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 75c per pound, postage paid. Try this for any grafting and see if it does 
not greatly increase the success of your work, and especially under unfavor- 
able 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.
