A Member: I would like to ask if the Byzantine hazel is attacked by blight as are the others?
Dr. Morris: No; none of my trees have been attacked by blight at all as yet.
W. C. Reed: What method of budding do you find most successful?
Dr. Morris: I have usually used the ring budding. It is not very difficult.
Professor Hedrick: Are there any East Asia hazels that thrive in this country?
Dr. Morris: There are specimens in the park here at Rochester that you will see this afternoon.
Professor Hedrick: Our experience with Asiatic hazels is very satisfactory.
Mr. McGlennon: A friend of mine here has some specimens that he would like to present.
Dr. Smith: We will ask Mr. Vollertsen to describe the specimens himself.
Mr. Vollertsen: They are from a private place of G. H. Perkins on East Avenue. They have never failed a year since 1886. Unfortunately we have no name for them, except that this one was always called John Jones. It has certainly proved a good strong hardy variety.
