UNION CITY, MICHIGAN 
PVILLION—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. 
NEAMPRICAN | HAZELS——Gtown in nearly ell parts ofthe coun- 
try 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 propovating a hybrid variety of American haezl that is 
a wonderful addition to any nut orchard. 
N RUSH 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 _ trans- 
planted. Nuts are nearly as large as the filberts 
and they are always full of meats. The Rush is 
very hardy and produces an abundance of stam- 
inate bloom that insures the annual heavy pro- 
duction of well filled nuts. Plant two trees. 
papers oe good old fashioned long nut is going to be 
a tning 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 propogating this nut as god cracking varieties have been 
very searce. We have started propogating a riscovery of our own 
ty belive it to ‘be the best we have seen. 
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 As-ociation at Battle Creek. Early 
bearing, good cracking, and fine flavor are the main characteris- 
tis of the Love butternut. 
\CRAX-EZY BUTTERNUT—Or 
iriginated 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 cazes Meat. 
come out easily in whole halves. 
Note illustration. 
u 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- 
nine to bear for me in two or three years, that is when left in the 
nur-ery. 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 walnuts roots which makes them 
faster growers and blight resistint.
