HICKORIES
The Anthony:
See Mr. Reed's paper in this report.
The Barnes (Shag. x Mock.):
Dr. MacDaniels: There are some at Itaca which bear.
Dr. Deming: This is undoubtedly a Shagbark—mockernut hybrid. It is entirely at home when grafted on the mockernut. This makes it of value for there are few of our named hickories that will do well when grafted on the mockernut. In 1933 I top-worked a mockernut with ten grafts of the Barnes. In 1934 it bore 30 fine nuts. It appears to be an excellent nut. There are three other nuts that I know do well on the mockernut. One is the Wampler from Indiana introduced by W. C. Reed. Another is the Minnie raised by Mr. S. W. Snyder. The fourth nut is the Gobble. The Barnes is mentioned in Dr. Zimmerman's report, page 23, 1932 proceedings. Carl Weschcke has it growing at River Falls, Wis.
The Bates (pecan x Mock.):
Mentioned in Dr. Zimmerman's report, page 23, 1932.
The Beam:
See Mr. Bixby's paper in 1926 report.
The Beaver (Shag. x Bitter.):
Dr. Deming: It grows rapidly. The nuts are not of very good quality, like most bitternut hybrids.
The Beaver is growing in the Kellogg plantings at Battle Creek and is mentioned in Dr. Zimmerman's report, page 19, 1932. Carl Weschcke has it growing at River Falls, Wis. E. C. Rice, Absher, Ky., has one one-year graft on bitternut, height 5 feet. J. H. Gage, Hamilton, Ont., has one Beaver tree planted in 1924 and moved in 1925 growing in light sandy soil on north shore at west end Lake Ontario. Diameter of the trunk is about three inches, tree fifteen feet high, bore first time in 1934. It is growing at the Riehl Farm, Godfrey, Ill., and in the Jones Nursery, Lancaster, Pa.
The Beam:
Is mentioned in Mr. Bixby's paper in 1926 report.
The Billau:
Is mentioned in Mr. Bixby's paper in 1926 report.
The Bontrager (Shag.):
Won third prize in 1929 contest, page 53, 1931. Tree owned by John D. Bontrager, Middlebury, Ind.
The Brooks (Shag.):
Is mentioned in Mr. Bixby's paper in 1926 report. It won ninth prize in 1929 contest, page 53, 1931, to Mrs. John Brooks, Ottumwa, Iowa. Carl Weschcke has it growing at River Falls, Wis.
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 Eversman (shell.):
See Mr. Bixby's paper in 1926 report.
The Fairbanks (shag. x bitter.):
Mr. Corsan: I had eleven nuts on my tree last year. They are very small trees.
Dr. Neilson: A Fairbanks grafted on a pignut in the spring of 1931 at the Kellogg estate has quite a few nuts on it this season.
Miss Jones: They bear well and regularly.
Dr. Deming: Yes, they do at my place, too.
Mr. Corsan: What kind of a flavor has it?
Dr. Deming: It is bitter when you keep it but not when fresh.
Mr. Snyder: Don't judge them by one nut. They get better as you eat them. The more you eat the better you like them.
Miss Jones: People that try them at our place don't notice much difference between those hybrids and the shellbarks. I give them to people any time during the winter, and they don't notice the difference.
Mr. Reed: Mr. Bixby said at one of the conventions that the Fairbanks was a good grower, easy to propagate, bore well, not so good as to size, thin shelled and had all the desirable characteristics of a good nut except that it wasn't good to eat.
See Mr. Reed's paper in this report and Mr. Bixby's paper in 1926 report. The Fairbanks is mentioned in Dr. Zimmerman's report, page 19, 1932. It is growing in the Riehl orchard at Godfrey, Ill., the Kellogg plantings at Battle Creek, Mich., in the Carl Weschcke orchard at River Falls, Wis., and in the E. C. Rice plantings at Absher, Ky. Sargeant H. Wellman has some young Fairbanks trees at Topsfield, Mass. Mr. W. R. Fickes reports it is a very poor quality hickory at Wooster, Ohio, but may be valuable for double working.

The Kentucky (shag. x mock.):
Dr. Deming: This is said to be a shagbark x mockernut hybrid but I see no reason for the belief. It is a vigorous grower. One year my trees were liberally sprinkled with nuts. I know that they bear from year to year, but the squirrels get the nuts. I think it is a shy bearer.
Dr. Zimmerman: It bears regularly at my place but at Mr. Littlepage's it isn't bearing.
This hickory is mentioned in Mr. Bixby's paper in 1926 report and in Dr. Zimmerman's report, page 23, 1932.

See Mr. Reed's paper in this report.
The Mann (of Ohio, shag. x shell.): Awarded ninth prize in 1929 contest to Howard Mann, Delta, Ohio.
The McCallister (pecan x shell.):
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.

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 the Riehl farm at Godfrey, Ill., in the Kellogg plantings at Battle Creek, Mich., in the Carl Weschcke orchard at River Falls, Wis., and Sargeant H.
