35. Shagbark hickory top-worked to Marquardt pecan. 36. Staminate persimmon trees. 37. Bony Bush filbert, grafted on common hazel. (Bush badly cut up by girdler beetle. Elaphidion. Five nuts on the bush). 38. Purple hazel. Look sharp to find the 20 nuts on this bush. This tree is about 5 years old. 39. Four large bitternut-hickory trees, top-worked to Beaver hybrid. Beaver branches distinguished by larger leaves and fewer leaflets. Stock shoots will be cut out gradually, allowing Beaver to have entire tree finally. 40. Bitternut hickory top-worked to Marquardt pecan. 41. Hybrid walnut. (Siebold x Persian). Tree riddled by walnut weevil every year hopelessly. 42. Taylor shagbark hickory grafted on shagbark stock. I fill the cavities with paraffin and turpentine. There are three or four nuts left in the top of the tree. The tree has borne nuts for three years. 43. Pinus edulis. 44. Marquardt pecan on bitternut. 45. Dead hybrid hickory, grafted to Beaver hybrid. Grafts made enormous growth in first year--10 feet for some grafts. All blew out in one minute of hurricane in advance of thunder storm. 46. Bartlett hazel grafted on common hazel. There are a number of dead ends, caused by a small worm you can hardly see. 47. Chinese chestnut. Blighted at foot of trunk but the tree continues to bear. 48. Garritson persimmon. Best of all varieties called seedless, but the large staminate tree nearby spoils that feature. It is about five years old, and bears very regularly and heavily. The stock came from Mr. Jones. 49. Early Golden persimmon. Carries one graft of Everhart seedless variety on lowest large branch. 50. Hybrid walnut. Juglans nigra. I do not remember which parent I used. 51. Pignolia nut pine. _Pignolia pinea._ It is a seedling. You can buy pignolia nuts in Europe for food everywhere. 52. Hardy soft-shelled almond. I do not know the variety as the label is lost; but the tree was put there about 3 or 4 years ago. It came from the Government. 58. Deming purple walnut. I think Dr. Deming can best tell you about this. DR. DEMING: It grows on the side of the road between Norwalk and Danbury, where the very large black walnut tree is, 15 feet in circumference, said to be the largest in Connecticut. This purple variety has nuts with a brownish red involucre showing sharply against the green leaves. The young foliage is purplish red, and the cambium and the pellicle of the kernels are purple. It is a very fair nut and the tree is very striking when it starts in spring with the beautiful tufts of leaves. DR. MORRIS: It may be a valuable wood for cabinet-makers. Every part of the wood is purple. There are two purple trees. The smaller tree is evidently a seedling of the larger. 54. Young Major pecan.
