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.
