SNYDER BLACK WALNUT 
The original tree of this variety grows near Redfield, Tompkins 
County, N. YY, 42° 20’ N. Lat. It was awarded first prize in the New 
York and New England Contest of 1934. 
Nuts o the 1942 crop, from our graft, were rated by Mr. C. A. Reed 
as follows: 21 nuts per pound, 25. 09 per cent kernel, cracked 94.90 
percent quarters, size large, shell thin, cleavage excellent, color dark, 
quality good, flavor good, rated A promising. 
While the tree does not grow as fast as some of the other varieties, 
it is very hardy, bears heavily and at an early age. Nuts ripen here the 
last of September or the very first of October. 
Snyder retains its leaves remark ably well in the fall: this adds con- 
siderably to its ornamental value.
