... Report on a Variety Test Extend
ing Over a Period of Nine Years
THE -fall of 1915. eicht year
from setting, a report was made
on the first commercial-crop pro
duceTr in orchards under experimen
tal tests, irees of three varieties!
produced a few nuts three years after
planting; the fourth year there were
nuts on several varieties ; the fifth
year several trees bore a pound of
nuts each, some 14 pounds, and one
tree bore 2l2 pounds; the sixth year
a late spring frost caught the new
growth jtfst as it was putting out,
and there was no crop; the seventh
year there were 50 pounds o nuts
gathered front 300 trees ; the eighth
year the crop was 830 pounds. j
1The nuts were divided into two
grades, according to size and filling
quality ; a 40-cent grade included Stu
art, Schley, Van Deman. and Money
maker, and a 30-cent grade was made
-op of smaller varieties. In spite of
the: market being full of low-priced
nuts, these, high-class varieties . sold
very readily at 40 cents a pound.
:The 1915 crop was so much larger
than any preceding one that it was
expected that the trees would hot
bear many the fallowing year. How
ever,, most of the trees set a goodly
crop- of nuts in 1916. -A
Number of Varieties Worthless
A FTER making up the records in
1915, it was found that a number
of varieties were worthless for com
mercial purposes, and they were top
worked, with the exception of one or
two trees of each variety as a record.
The: following varieties were found to
be too small iri size in this section for
commercial purposes ": Louisiana Del
zell, Senator, Teche, Dewey, and At
lanta. The Frotscker, Nelson, Mag
num; and Rome, under its many syno
nyms, Pride of the Coast, Twentieth
Century and Columbian varieties,
contracting
sow. It undoubtedly will test you mora
next sprint or summer.
Let us send you our proposition to con- I though producing nuts of large" size,
were found to be very deficient in fill
ing out. Georgia Giant proved to be
so susceptible to scab that it was
utterly worthless. Centennial proved
to be such a shy bearer that while it
produced a good nut it was practically
tract now for your, silo and deliver it later,
We still have openings for a limit

THOUGH the top-working o these
inferior varieties reduced the fruit
ing trees of 1916 by 25 per cent, the
crop for the season was 695 pounds
as compared with 830 pounds for the
previous year. In 1916 one Stuart tree
produced 20 pounds of - nuts, another
of the same variety produced 18, and
a Schley produced 15 pounds. The
average for the whole orchard, con
sisting of 160 bearing trees in 1916V
was 4 pounds .and 5 ouncesr-or aiJ
average of about $1.50 per tree. In 1915
the average of 207 trees was- 4 pounds
per tree. It can be seen, therefore,
that in spite of the large yield of the
1915. season, the average production
oerstree was higher in 1916V Some of
the trees produced $5 worth of nuts,
and the crop of a few other trees ap
proached closely to $8 in value.
The Schley and the Stuart varieties
were found to be the most desirable
sorts for all purposes.. Both of these
