9. Percent Kernel: 54.5%

10. Remarks:

_Fairly large, well filled, attractive shape and size with a thin sh.e.l.l.

This seedling placed first at the Indiana State Fair and the State Nut Show, 1949. Tree medium in size, planted as one year seedling in 1939.

This tree bore 24 pounds of cured nuts in 1949 and has been in good production for 7 years. (Carpathian strain.)_

The descriptions given of the two Fateley trees are typical of some of the forty seedlings coming from various parts of Indiana, as shown in the following list.

The distribution of the Persian walnut to the public depends on the ability of the nurserymen to propagate and list the available varieties or unnamed seedlings. There is a great demand and a wonderful opportunity for the hardy Persian walnuts all over the Middle West or where apples will produce, not only for the nutritious fruits but for the ornamental value and for something different.

DR. MacDANIELS: Is Mr. I. W. Short of Taunton, Ma.s.sachusetts here, or does he have his paper here?

There is a paper here, however, ”Notes on Nut Growing in New Hamps.h.i.+re,”

by Matthew Lahti of Boston, Ma.s.sachusetts. Mr. Wellman.

MR. WELLMAN: This is very short. It is just a report of bad winters in New Hamps.h.i.+re. Mr. Lahti I knew in Boston. His farm is in Wolfeboro, New Hamps.h.i.+re, about 75 or a hundred miles north of Boston.
