Dr. Deming: Has anyone any new information about the filling or bearing
of the McCallister?
Mr. Wilkinson: It fills well but not heavily.
Mr. Reed: I have watched the McCallister for years and years and the
nuts have failed to fill. But there is a tree that has the reputation of
bearing a very considerable quantity of nuts. We went over to see the
tree and we found that it stood where the soil was very rich. I have
wanted ever since then to try some McCallisters and give them all of the
plant food that they could possibly consume. I believe that that has a
good deal to do with filling.
Dr. Deming: Heavy fertilization influences the filling of nuts.
The McCallister is mentioned in Dr. Zimmerman's report, page 20, 1932.
It is growing in the Kellogg plantings at Battle Creek, Mich., the
orchards of Carl Weschcke at River Falls, Wis., E. C. Rice at Absher,
Ky., of Sargeant H. Wellman at Topsfield, Mass., and in the Government
plantings at Beltsville, Md. It is also growing and doing well in the
Waite Orchard at Normandy, Tenn., see page 34, 1932 report.
THE MILFORD (shag.):
It is mentioned in Mr. Bixby's paper in 1926 report. It is growing in
the Jones Nursery at Lancaster.
THE MINNIE (shag.):

report. Parent tree is growing in the yard of the Snyder farm at Center

THE PESCHKE (shag.):
Awarded tenth prize in 1929 contest to Grace Peschke, Ripon, Wis.
THE PLEAS (pecan x bitter.):
Miss Jones: It has a very thin shell. You can crack it with your hand.
Mr. Reed: Miss Riehl has said that it is worth growing for ornamental
effect. It has great long catkins that make it really a beautiful thing,
and yet it is like all of the others as far as I know, it has that
bitter principle. It is very much the same as the other bitternut
hybrids.
The Pleas is mentioned in Mr. Bixby's paper in the 1926 report and is
listed in Dr. Zimmerman's report, page 19, 1932. It is being grown on
