[Footnote 2: The mockernuts were larger than any other hickories grafted excepting some bitternuts referred to in the next footnote. They were grafted mostly on branches.] [Footnote 3: Of these scions 5 were set in branches on two trees 1-1/4 or so in diameter and showed 100% catches; balance were set in the top on small trees 1/2 diameter or less, and showed 54.5% catches.] BLACK WALNUTS, JAPAN WALNUTS, PERSIAN WALNUTS BUTTERNUTS Stocks, Number of Grafts and Per Cent of Catches Black Walnut Butternut Japan Walnut Persian Walnut Variety No. % No. % No. % No. % Adams Black Walnut, scions parent tree 13 15.4 Alley Black Walnut, scions parent tree 9 0.0 O'Connor Hybrid Walnut, Persian Walnut and Black Walnut (?) scions parent tree 9 22.2 --- ---- 31 12.9 Ohio Black Walnut, scions W.

The same is shown in the table of black walnut grafts, where the Alley, Adams, and O'Connor scions were cut from old bearing trees, and the others from young, rapidly growing trees.
