1929 contest, page 53, 1931, to Mrs. John Brooks, Ottumwa, Iowa. Carl

THE BURLINGTON (Pecan x shell.):
Dr. Deming: The true name of the nut we call Marquardt. The Michigan Nut
Nursery have trees bearing.
Miss Jones: A characteristic of all shellbark x pecan hybrids is that
they don't fill well.
Mr. Corsan: Are they in exceedingly rich soil or just ordinary? I find
that nuts respond to rich soil.
Miss Jones: They are in ordinary soil.
Dr. MacDaniels: We have two trees at Ithaca about ten years old which
have borne but the nuts have not filled very well.
Dr. Deming: Is the Burlington worth growing? Does it fill so badly that
it is not a success?
Miss Jones: The kernel fills out about three-fourths of the way. It
fills better than the McCallister.
Mr. Corsan: I have never seen such a fine nut in my life.
Mr. Wilkinson: It is a good hybrid and a wonderful bearer.
Dr. Deming: Every year?
Mr. Wilkinson: Yes, and matures unusually early.
The Burlington is in the Riehl plantings at Godfrey, Ill. It is
mentioned in Mr. Bixby's paper in 1926 report. Carl Weschcke has young
trees growing at River Falls, Wis. Sargeant H. Wellman has some young
trees at Topsfield, Mass. F. H. Frey has young tree in yard at Chicago,
but it has not borne nuts as yet. Foliage is beautiful, leaves being
rather broad but some kind of blight seems to turn them dark and they
curl up about middle of the summer.
J. W. Hershey: Of the hybrid hickories the Burlington should be
eliminated from the list and a great many others of the hickories should
be thrown out as rapidly as possible.
THE BURTON (pecan x shell.):
Mentioned in Dr. Zimmerman's report, page 20, 1932. It is growing in
Riehl plantings at Godfrey, Ill., and on Kellogg farm, Michigan.
THE CALDWELL:
