ee ee a Se ne eee 
. POILLION—A new- black walnut discovered by the Michigan 
State College. The tree is of Michigan origin and _ should prove 
hardy for our northern range. The nuts are nearly as large as our 
well known Thomas which they closely resemble. 
'\ AMERICAN HAZELS—Grown in nearly all parts of the country 
along fence rows and in wood lots. They are very hardy, but not, 
as a rule, very good producers. The nuts are sometimes small and 
poorly filled. 
We are propogating a hybrid variety of American hazel that is 
a wonderful addition to any nut orchard. 
sRusH TREE HAZEL—Is a fast growing tree 
that reaches the size of a peach tree. Unlike 
the wild hazel, this form does not stool out much 
at the base and is thus less troublesome. ‘The 
plants bear very young; often the same year 
transplanted. Nuts are nearly as large as the fil- 
berts and they are always full of meats. The 
. Rush is very hardy and produces an abundance 
of staminate bloom that insures the annual 
heavy production of well filled nuts. Plant two trees. 
‘ BUTTERNUT—That good old fashioned long nut is going to be 
a thing of the past unless people take the situation to heart and 
plant more young trees. Little has been done in the past in the 
way of propagating this nut as good cracking varieties have been 
very scare. We have started propagating a discovery of our own 
and believe it to be the best we have yet seen. 
X LOVE BUTTERNUT—A favorite butternut variety of Mr. C. A. 
Reed of the U. S. Dept. Agr. at Beltsville, Md. Originating in 
Michigan the Love was an outstanding entry at the 1934 meeting 
of the Northern Nut Growers Association at Battle Creek. Early 
bearing, good cracking, and fine flavor are the main characteris- 
ties of the Love butternut. 
\CRAX-EZY BUTTERNUT—Or 
iginated here at Union City, 
Michigan. Mother tree was old 
and about to die when discovered 
by us. Tree at one time was a 
large vigorous grower. The few 
limbs were loaded with nuts 
every fall. Nut is medium length; 
shell is thin and may be cracked 
with a knife point in many cases. 
Meats come out easily in whole 
halves. Note illustration. 
\ KINNYGLEN BUTTERNUT—This fine butternut came from a- 
round Ithaca, N. Y. The Kinnyglen nuts range in size about the 
same as Craxezy. From four to six nuts to a cluster and begin- 
ning to bear for me in two or three years, that is when left in the 
nursery. The kernels may be taken from this butternut in halves 
and twin halves. A full flavored butternut. Note: All my butter- 
nut varieties are grafted on black walnut roots which makes them 
faster growers and blight resistant.
