Mr. Pomeroy: Judging from my own experience I think that that orchard would be producing now two or two and a half bushels per tree each year if put under cultivation and given the care of an ordinary peach orchard. Mr. Reed: These are seedling trees, you understand, in that orchard we showed. This is a Persian walnut tree in Mr. Rush's front yard. I've forgotten the variety. Mr. Rush: That is the Kaghazi. Mr. Reed: Now we come to the original hickories. This is one of the earliest hickory nuts propagated, in fact, it's about the only one so far. That tree is owned by Mr. Henry Hales of Ridgewood, N. J. Prof. Smith: Have they fertilized it? Mr. Reed: No, not especially. It stands on good, fertile soil but I think no attention has ever been paid to it in the way of cultivation. Prof. Smith: Have you its yielding record? Mr. Reed: It never made large records; as I recall it now, it has never borne more than a few bushels at any one time, perhaps two bushels. The Chairman: One reason is because it has been cut back regularly every year for scions? Mr. Reed: Yes, that's true. Prof. Smith: Over two hundred years old, then? The Chairman: I doubt if that tree is over fifty or sixty. Mr. Reed: That's what I should say,--somewhere in the neighborhood of fifty or sixty years old. Mr. Reed: That slide shows a typical grafted tree in Mr. Hales' garden. It's a nice shapely, thrifty tree about seven years old and only recently came into bearing to any extent. The nurserymen have had great difficulty in propagating it until recently. Now that Mr. Jones has come up from the South and he and Mr. Rush are getting down together earnestly in the propagation of these northern trees, we will probably have more of them, but in all the years that Mr. Hales has been working with that particular variety, he has never been able to get more than a few trees grown in the nursery, so it is not disseminated to any extent. The Chairman: Do you think that this will be like the pecan and hickory, that some varieties will bear fifteen years after grafting and other varieties two years after grafting, for instance, as extremes? Mr. Reed: Probably so, the same as it is with other fruits. The Chairman: It seems to me that that is what we may fairly anticipate. Mr. Corsan: Like Northern Spy apples and other apples.
