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.
