PRESIDENT MacDANIELS: How about the Barnes?
MR. STOKE: I have been growing it on mockernut or white hickory. It produces moderate crops and is the one that came into bearing about first on mockernut. In fact, I have several varieties on mockernut that haven't borne yet. It's been on there about 12 years.
PRESIDENT MacDANIELS: The Barnes, with us, has yielded more at a younger age than any other variety, but it never filled. It began early and bore heavy crops, but the season is not long enough or hot enough.
MR. STOKE: In Virginia they fill well, but they are not easily extracted. The shell is rather thin and fills well.
PRESIDENT MacDANIELS: I don't want to prolong this discussion longer than seems profitable.
DR. MCKAY: Did I understand you to mention the variety Schinnerling?
MR. GERARDI: I have got that at home. That's one that's bearing, but if it's that variety I have there, I wouldn't give it yard room.
DR. MCKAY: It is also one of our best. We have three, the Shaul, the Lingenfelter that I mentioned, and the third one is Schinnerling, all three of which are extremely heavy bearers and the three hickory varieties that we are interested in.
MR. GERARDI: How big is that Schinnerling?
DR. MCKAY: It's an average-sized nut.
