Crath's Carpathian English Walnuts in Ontario

[23]P. C. CRATH, _129 Felbrigg Ave., Toronto 12, Ontario_

Introduction

The English Walnut (Juglans regia) in England is known as Persian

walnut. Some think that the nuts originated in Persia. The primeval

forests of English walnut trees, which in many places cover the

southern as well as northern slopes of the Caucasian Mountains show

that Caucasia is the country of the origin of those trees.

But in the Western Carpathian Mountains in Europe geologists had

excavated ancient walnuts in the salt rocks of the pits of Weliczka. In

some places of the Eastern Carpathians walnuts could be found in a wild

stage; and of course domesticated walnuts flourish in every Ukrainian

orchard from the northern slopes of the Carpathians up to the southern

banks of the Pripet River, and all over Ukraine as far as the Don. But

there they could not be found in a wild form.

Walnuts in such countries as Italy, Spain, France are probably of

Persian origin.

Since Canada was discovered by Cartier European settlers have many times

tried to introduce the southern European walnuts in to the New World,

but without success. Only in California, along the Ocean's shore,

Europeans succeeded in acclimatizing some, as they think, "English

Walnuts"; though in reality the California Walnuts are halfbreeds.

In Old Ontario the people enjoyed the local wild black walnuts,

butternuts and hickory. Up to the present English Walnuts are imported

into this Province.

When in 1917 I settled in Toronto and found that even in the southern

part of the Province, so rich in different fruits, no English Walnuts

grew there, I was amazed.

In my old home in the Ukraine walnut trees were as common as elms in

Ontario. And I have found that the Southern Ontario climate is warmer

than the climate of Kiev or Poltava regions in Ukraine.

It has seemed to me that English walnuts from the Carpathian region

should thrive well around Toronto.

My Experiments

In my old home I have heard gardeners say: "Where apples grow, walnuts

will grow there also." And around Toronto there I have seen nice apple

orchards producing splendid fruits. The Ontario apple trees withstood

winter colds well, and that fact encouraged me to try to plant English

walnuts from Ukraine in the neighborhood of Toronto. At the end of the

First World War Ukraine revolted against the Russian Empire and at the

same time she was fighting for her independence with Poland.

At that time my father's family lived in the city of Stanyslaviv at the

northern foot of the Carpathians. I asked my sister to send me as many

local English walnut seeds by mail as she could. Giving such an order to

my sister I expected that the nuts would arrive not later than the end

of October, just in time to be planted before the freeze up. This was in

1921.

I remembered from my boyhood that planting of English walnut seeds was

surrounded by some mystery. It seemed to me that people in Ukraine

regarded it as a very difficult matter to cultivate walnut trees.

Being under such a notion myself I asked a horticulturist how long the

germination power of a walnut seed would last. He told me that it could

prevail in a fresh walnut not longer than a week. He advised me in order

to prevent walnuts from drying to dip them in melted parawax. Following

that information I wrote my sister to parawax the walnut seeds before

sending them to Canada.

Owing to the Polish-Ukrainian war at that time the shipment of the

walnut seeds got to Toronto not late in the Fall, as had been expected,

but in February when the farm land around Toronto was frozen. And the

worst of it was my sister did not parawax the nuts!

Being sure the kernels were dead I allowed the children to do what they

pleased with them. But before they cracked the last one my wife advised

me to plant a dozen of the nuts in our flower pots, as she said, "for

fun". I did it. Other nuts the children destroyed, and in spite of my

sorrow and anguish in two weeks the walnut sprouts came up in the pots.

Everyone of them came up, proving that you do not need to protect walnut

germination by dipping the nuts into melted parawax.

From the flower pots the walnut seedlings were transplanted that spring

of 1922 into our city garden at 48 Peterboro Ave., Toronto.

At least a thousand of the kernels of several varieties were thus

destroyed and I was obliged to wait until another fall when the _Juglans

regia_ nuts were sent again by my sister. They came also late in the

winter and were dry as pepper.

In the spring of 1923 I took the walnut seeds of the second shipment to

the farm of my friend Mr. M. Kozak located a couple of miles north of

the Scarboro Golf Club. There I soaked them in water in a tub for five

days and then planted in rows 1-1/2 ft. apart, row from row, and the

nuts 6 inches apart nut from nut and two inches deep. In a couple of

weeks nearly every nut produced a sapling. I kept them well cultivated

the whole summer, and in the Fall the seedlings were from six to eight

inches tall. The nuts on the Kozak farm were of different varieties;

some were small, some large, some were round, some oblong, some

paper-thin-shelled, some hard shelled; some varieties had sweet kernels,

some had a little slightly bitter taste, some were flat. According to

their variety the bark of the seedlings, some of them at least, was

shiny brown, while other varieties had their bark shiny dark green,

light gray, light green.

Now I have known how to produce walnut seedlings. Then another worry

came--could the seedlings stand the Ontario winter? They had stood the

winter of 1925-28 very well. Only the tops of those were spoiled, which

were injured by buffalo tree hoppers.

It seemed that the regular Ontario caterpillars did not like the sap of

the English walnut foliage. But the worst enemies of the Carpathians was

the bacterial disease. The leaves and young shoots curled, turned black,

being infested by the disease. In such a case the spraying is needed.

Acquaintance with the Vineland Government Experimental Farm

Somehow, but very soon after I started my experiments with English

Carpathian Walnuts in Ontario, Mr. James Neilson, the nut specialist in

the Government Experimental Farm, Vineland, Ont. discovered me. By him I

was introduced to the late Mr. G. H. Corsan of Islington, Ont. who was

known as a prominent nut grower in Ontario. In the year 1924, when we

met the first time, Mr. Corsan already was interested in the culture of

black walnuts and butternuts, in hickories, pecans, hicans and filberts.

Soon I transferred my English Carpathian walnut nursery to Corsan's

place at Islington. Mr. Corsan, with a great deal of enthusiasm

broadcasted my Carpathians all over the American continent, but under

different names: English Walnuts, Persian, Russian, Carpathian, etc.

Soon we were joined by a third walnut enthusiast Mr. L. K. Davitt, a

teacher in a Toronto High School.

Prof. C. T. Currelly the Founder and at that time the Director of the

Royal Ontario Museum of Archeology in Toronto, also became interested in

my walnut experiments. Then later on some other prominent Torontonians

followed us and the Nut Growers Society of Ontario was organized.

Americans also became interested in the Carpathian walnuts. First among

them was a graduate from Cornell University, a farmer near Ithaca, N.

Y., Mr. Samuel Graham. Mr. George Slate of the Geneva Experiment Station

was one of the first Americans who early got interested in the

Carpathians.

There in the States is the Northern Nut Growers Association. Following

Mr. Corsan I also became a member of the Association.

My Research in English Walnuts in Ukraine

From the year 1924 until 1936 I spent most of my time as a Presbyterian

missionary in Western Ukraine, which was then under Polish occupation.

From time to time I used to come to Canada on furlough. Every time,

coming from Ukraine, I brought also a box or more of Carpathian English

Walnuts for planting.

Then I liked to tell Dr. Palmer, the Director of the Vineland Government

Experimental Farm about my research in walnuts in Ukraine.

In Western Ukraine my headquarters were in the city of Kolomyja,

Province of Galicia, at the foot of the Eastern Carpathians. Thus I was

in the center of the culture of the Carpathian walnuts.

Though my circuit was very large (Provinces of Galician and Volynia) and

there was a time when I served 30 congregations, nevertheless I had a

little time also to study the English Walnuts in their native

environments.

Before starting the research in that country I decided for myself what

in my conception should be the ideal English walnut. I have come to the

conclusion that the nut should be of large size, thin shelled, its

kernel well filled up, being of a pleasant sweet taste; inside of the

nut there should be no partitions, thus allowing the kernel to roll out

unbroken.

Then I printed questionnaire blanks for each individual nut tree to be

examined. Beside the above mentioned questions I added:

What is the name and address of the owner of the tree, and its location?

How old, tall and thick the trunk of tree is?

How many pounds of the nuts the tree yielded that year?

In what kind of soil does it thrive?

What enemies attack it?

What fertilizer, or manure, has been used in the particular case, or

none?

Is there in the nuts, leaves and bark any sign of cross-pollination?

Regarding the grafting and budding I found that the local nut-growers

had not the slightest idea how to go about it. They also did not care to

prevent their walnut trees from cross-pollination.

Soon I found that there in Galicia alone could be found several hundreds

of varieties of Carpathian English walnuts. Anyway till 1935, I sent to

Toronto 200 varieties of the Carpathians.

Some of those English Carpathian walnuts were 2-1/2 inches long, or five

nuts to a foot; others were only one third of an inch. Some very small

Carpathians produced nuts in clusters, like grapes. In some Carpathians

it was possible to detect cross-pollination with Asiatic walnuts by

their harder shells, by partitions, by the shape of nuts, by the

construction of the leaves and their odor, and in some cases by the

color of bark.

By kernels all the Carpathian halfbreeds are English walnuts, differing

group from group by the taste. I remember that only in 1898 in the bourg

of Loubni, and in 1933 in the City of Kolomyja I came across two trees

which resembled our black walnut. In both towns some people used to live

in America, and coming home they could bring with them some American

nuts.

In the region around Kossiv I came across groves of American black

walnuts and butternuts. Those trees were planted there by the Austrian

Government 75 or so years ago. Of course they did not cause all the

hybridizing I mentioned above. Maybe the Asiatic nuts were brought in

Eastern Carpathians when the Tartar hordes crossed the mountains in the

region of Pokouttia (Kossiv) in the year 1242.

Not far from Kossiv, westward, in the village of Kosmuch in the

Carpathians 2500 feet above sea level I found English walnut trees of

small size (15 feet tall, 6 inches thick) with light gray bark,

producing 2 inch long nuts of speary shape, like our Canadian butternuts

but of English Walnut shells and kernels. The kernels were tasty. There

was no question but that they were halfbreeds, English plus Mongolian

nuts.

There in Kosmuch, not far from the historical Tartar Passage, through

which in 13th century Ghengis Khan hordes invaded the Danube plains, in

winter the temperature falls to 45 degrees below zero. Owing to the

hardiness of the strain and pleasant taste of the nuts I picked up about

10 pounds of them to be tried in colder parts of Ontario, (and some of

them already are bearing north of Toronto and true to the type.)

I called the nuts Hutzulian Pointies, as they grow in Hutzulia the

country of the Ukrainian Mountaineers.

The year 1936. My last trip to Western Ukraine

In Ontario farmers were slow to grasp the idea of cultivating my

Carpathian English walnuts. Either they did not believe the English

walnuts could thrive in this Province, or waited till my trees would

start to bear. Nevertheless some thousand of my seedlings were planted

here and there all over Ontario and smaller quantities in the Maritime

Provinces, Manitoba and Alberta. The late Sir Wm. Mulock hired Mr.

Corsan to graft with the Carpathian scions tops of many of his black

walnut trees in Orillia, Ont. Fred Gaby, the engineer who built the

Ontario Hydro, ordered through me from Ukraine 50 to 12 feet tall

Carpathians of bearing age and planted them on 10 acres near Cooksville.

Ont. Prof. Currelly has bought 25 acres near his estate west of Pt.

Hope, Ont. for my use in experimental work. The late Col. McAlpyne

planted one thousand of my yearlings on his estate at Fenelon Falls,

Ont. Two young farmers, Papple Bros., in the Georgian Bay region also

started an English Carpathian walnut orchard. In 1935 I moved my

Carpathian walnut nursery from Islington to Prof. Currelly's estate, and

Mr. L. K. Devitt sold his lot of the trees through the Dominion Seed

Co., Georgetown, Ont.

In the States, Mr. Carl Weschoke, a manufacturer in St. Paul, Minn., who

in the year 1935 was elected the President of the Northern Nut Growers

Association, also got interested in Carpathians. His son-in-law about

that time started a walnut nursery on their estate some 30 miles east of

St. Paul. That 1936 year Mr. Weschoke sponsored my expedition to

Northeastern Poland (Northwestern Ukraine) to find the geographical line

north of which English walnuts do not thrive in Europe.

My expedition was successful. I discovered that northward from the

Pripet River, which flows from west to east toward the Dneiper, English

Walnuts could not be found. If I had come across there some English

seedlings nearer to the Lithuanian boundary and the Baltic Sea shore,

they would have been planted there recently and not before the year

1924.

Farther north, though there English walnuts do not thrive, around the

Lake Peipus I came across filberts not as bushes but as large trees.

Every fall peasants in that district go in the woods and bring bags of

filberts for winter use.

Such filbert trees I found also in the Carpathian mountains near the

Ukrainian settlement of Vizhnytza in the Province of Bukovina.

West of the town of Sarny and south of the Pripet I came across a grove

of 18 ancient English walnut trees. In the year 1648 when Ukrainian

Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytzky led a war against Poland those trees already

were 70 years old, and they still were bearing in 1936 when I visited

that region. Indeed their limbs were broken and they presented a sad

sight, but they proved how long the Ukrainian English walnut could live.

The seeds of those ancient trees I also shipped to Mr. Weschcke. Beside

that I brought to my sponsors thousands of selected walnut seeds,

seedlings and scions.

My English Carpathian walnut tree in the back yard of 48 Peterboro Ave.

Toronto, Ont., being planted out there from the pot in the spring of

1922 started to produce nuts in 1929. The nuts were exactly to the type:

oblong, pointy, inch and a half long, the shell semi-hard, partitions

large, the kernel of pleasant taste. It started to produce female bloom

when it was 4 years old, but till 1929 there were no catkins of male

bloom.

The crop of the nuts, that year and following years was usually carried

away by marauding black squirrels.

Other people who got from us the Carpathian English walnut seedlings

reported that their plants also started to bear the seventh year or

around that. But the Papple Bros. reported that they had a case when a

seedling produced by them straight from the Carpathian walnut bore a nut

in the second year of its life. On the other hand there were cases

where some Carpathian English seedlings, as well as grafted ones, still

produce no nuts though they are 15 years old and over.

I think the cause lies in the soil. On the gravelly hills over Ithaca,

N. Y. Carpathian walnuts are slow to bear, even being grafted. The

undersoil in the valleys 6 miles north of Pt. Hope, Ont. is not

favorable, not only for English walnuts but even for native black

walnuts, though very favorable to hickories.

On another hand, north-east of Toronto and near Unionville at the place

called Hagerman Cornor on the farm of Mr. M. Artymko there is an orchard

of 27 Crath's Carpathian English walnuts over 18 years old, each

fruiting now every year. The trees are 25 feet tall, 5-6 inches thick,

situated on a knoll of clay, well drained soil, lying open toward the

northwest. When the trees were younger they were subject to attacks of

the bacterial disease and their barks were cracked by frost. Now the

trees are in nice shape, no trace of the bacterial disease injuries and

the frost's scars disappearing. Some of those trees produced a bushel of

the nuts each.

Among Artymko's trees there is a tree bearing the walnut of giant type,

and the tree--Hutzulian Pointie. The success of the Artymko's farm lies

probably in the soil and its high elevation.

There in Toronto Mr. T. H. Barrister, has in his backyard two Carpathian

English Walnuts, producing nuts of the giant size--five nuts to a foot.

The bacterial disease had touched them slightly, and the tree never has

been sprayed.

We should expect that the Ontario Agricultural College at Guelph would

find out what is the best soil for English walnuts and what fertilizer

to be applied for them. Chicken wire fences should protect the walnut

orchard from squirrels and the trees should be sprayed against bacterial

disease.

About walnut trees bearing and fertilizer--let us return to their native

abode in the Carpathians. There in the village of Peestynka I have come

across a large English walnut tree 40 feet tall and about 36 years old

which, as I was informed by the people there, never fruited till the

First World War. During the war an Austrian horse squadron had put a

stall around the tree. The horses well manured the soil around there and

since that time the tree was bearing nuts regularly and abundantly when

I saw it in 1936.

At Last Success!

The year 1951 should be regarded as the final establishing of the

culture of the Carpathian English walnuts in Ontario. The three decades

of experimentation have passed leaving a splendid result. The fact is

established that the Carpathian English walnuts have become aclimatized

in South Ontario. This fall I had an opportunity to examine my walnut

trees at many points in the Province. Everywhere I have seen the tree

bearing. In Toronto in many a backyard, in Thorold South, in Welland, in

Port Colboren, in Islington, near Port Hope on Prof. Currelly's estate,

around Scarboro, Ont. and so on, the Carpathians are in good shape and

all are bearing.

The more the trees mature, the better they look. On the average they are

20 years old, 20 feet tall and 6 inches thick.

The summer of 1951 in Ontario was more cloudy than usual, and it caused

the Carpathian walnuts in this Province to turn out smaller than their

size, should be about one quarter smaller.

The people who knew Carpathian English walnut trees in Galicia agree

that in Ontario the Carpathians grow more slowly than they do in their

native land.

It is not in Ontario, but on the University Farm at Madison, Wisconsin,

one of our Carpathian trees is nearly 40 feet tall and bearing. In

Galicia I had seen many a Carpathian walnut tree as high as 60 feet.

Polish Government Interested in My Activity

During the time of my activities, in the town of Kessiv, there used to

live a famous physician, Dr. Tarnawski. Outside of his clinics he was

much interested in the welfare of the country. My activities could not

be hidden from his sight. "What does that "American" see in our nuts?

Are there in America no nuts?" he asked. Soon I was introduced to him.

It was in the fall of 1934. He was not well and in bed at that time. He

liked to talk with me about the walnut culture and wished to know why I

was collecting the nuts, scions and seedlings for Canada. And then it

seemed to him impossible that there in Ontario and the northeastern

states English walnuts were not yet cultivated. Then I turned his

attention to the fact that in Poland they know little about their own

trees. My challenge awoke him to activity, and through his intervention

Starosta, the county governor, planted the first twenty-five acres with

walnut seedlings along the south side of the highway leading from Kessiv

to the town of Kooty.

Dr. Tarnawski wrote also an article to a horticultural magazine on

English walnuts on what he learned from me.

When in the fall of 1936 I was going back to my home in Toronto, Dr.

Tarnawski wrote about me to the Department of Agriculture in Warsaw

introducing me to the minister. I had an opportunity to give a talk on

the Carpathian English walnuts in the presence of many horticulturists

in the Government Experimental Farm at Skieerniewice near Warsaw.

Late in 1936 I came back to Canada and till the Second World War

continued to cultivate the Carpathian walnuts and other horticultural

material brought by me from Western Ukraine.

The Second War cut me off from my field in Europe.

A decade and a half has passed. The Carpathians have been acclimatized,

have grown, and have been bearing nuts in Ontario. When such success has

been achieved, it seems that there in Canada all the enterprise is

forgotten. Of course, the Carpathian walnuts could not advertise

themselves--they are "dumb critters."

In the States the situation with the Carpathians is entirely different.

Interest in them is growing steadily, and as I said previously the

American nurseries have already put the Carpathians on the broad market.

In 1950 at the annual meeting the Northern Nut Growers Association made

me an Honorary Member of the Association.

In 1951 the Association held a contest and the "Crath" Carpathians won

most of the prizes.

Culture of Crath's Carpathian English Walnut Trees

1. _Propagation by seeds_

Pick up the largest and heaviest nuts from a certain tree. Dry them in a

windy place, but not in the sun. Gather the nuts into a jute bag and

hang for the winter in a dry and cold place protected from squirrels.

Around May 14th put the nuts into a vessel with lukewarm water, soak

about one week.

Prepare a bed of rich soil manured previously with horse manure. The

land should not be of a wet kind. Plant the nuts in rows, 6 inches nut

from nut, and two feet, row from row. Protect your nursery from

squirrels.

In a week or two the nuts should come up.

Keep the nursery free from weeds. It will protect the seedling from the

buffalo tree hoppers. If the signs of the bacterial disease are detected

spray the seedlings at once.

For the first winter leave the seedlings as they are in the field. The

next spring dig them up, every one. Cut off the leading root of each

plant and transplant the seedlings again in rows a foot apart seedling

from seedling and two feet row from row.

The amputation of the leading root causes the seedling to grow up

instead of down and will make them start to bear nuts earlier.

In Europe instead of cutting off the walnut seedling's main roots they

put under them a flat stone, or start in an earthen pot.

The next spring the walnut seedlings are ready for the permanent

planting. Being permanently transplanted they should be cultivated at

least two or three years.

Whitewash the walnut trunks in the late fall to protect bark from

bursting by the winter sun. Put a screen around the trunks to protect

them from mice and rabbits. Though, if a walnut is gnawed by rodents do

nothing about it, the tree will produce a stalk--a new one--from the

root.

2. _Propagation by Grafting_

Take Canadian black walnut seedling, one or two years old early in the

spring, if you have a greenhouse and can graft them one inch above the

root line, tie up with raffia, cover with melted parawax and put in

boxes covering each row with light soil mixed with the moss. After 20th

of May when the danger of frost is over transplant in your nursery.

The grafting of walnuts should be called a barking method. Cut off the

upper part of the stock horizontally. Split the bark with your grafting

knife as much as needed and lift up the bark as far as the wood and

insert the scion. Tie up with raffia and do the rest as said previously.

The top grafting on the large Canadian black nuts gives good results

also.

3. _Budding_

We bud the walnuts in the middle of August. Regular "T" cut has to be

done, the bud put in and wrapped with raffia. Then it should be covered

with parawax and left for a couple of weeks. After that time the

budding should be examined and the raffia removed. If the leaf by the

bud remains green it indicates that the grafting is successful.

The next spring, cut off the upper part of the stalk about two feet over

the bud. You will tie up to it the budded shoot, which by the fall might

be up to 6 feet high.

Spraying and cultivating is required as has been said above.

Owing to the fact that the budded plant in its first year continues to

grow deep into fall and in many cases its upper part does not harden

well, wrap the budding with straw for winter.

4. _Harvesting_

In the Carpathian Mountains when they gather the walnuts in the fall

they mash them down with a very long and quite thin hazel sticks. Doing

that they beat off the thin tops of the walnut branches. They say such

an operation causes a better crop of the nuts next season.

5. _Giant Walnuts and their problems_

Some giant walnuts on the same tree have sometimes small kernels or

withered ones. In the Carpathian Region they do not know what to do with

such a problem.

It seems to me that we in Canada have to solve it. Maybe it is because

of the bacterial disease, or it may be a lack of the proper fertilizer.

In Warsaw I have seen the giant walnuts sold not being dried.

6. _Reforestation with the Carpathian Walnuts_

Crath's Carpathian English walnuts could produce for Canada a very

valuable forest and in shorter time than other trees do. We should

always remember that in the Caucasian Mountains there are huge walnut

forests. Some trees are of primeval age. Before the First World War

English buyers often paid a Caucasian farmer from 5,000 to 10,000 rubles

for a tree.

Walnut Wine

There in the Town of Kooty Mrs. Babiuk, a good wife of a local burgher

told me about the walnut wine as follows:

"In my girlhood in this region there raged an awful epidemic of cholera.

Many people died. But those who drank the wine made of green English

Walnuts did not die."

The recipe that she gave me is as follows:

Take equal parts of walnuts in which the shells are not yet hardened,

and the same quantity of sugar. Cut each green walnut in half a dozen

parts, mix them with the sugar. In a couple of days the juice will be

extracted by means of the sugar and ensuing fermentation which continues

about one month. In two months it is ready to be consumed.

On my return to Canada I made wine from the Canadian black walnuts. The

color of the wine was dark brown and quite pleasant. It stops stomach

ache.

Also we should not forget the walnut oil and the use of walnuts in

confectionary.

Walnut Candies

Take equal quantities of walnut kernels and honey. Mix. Boil, watching

that the honey does not over-run. Mix with a wooden spoon. In half an

hour cool to see if the honey has turned into taffy. If not, boil

longer. When it is ready put upon a wooden board, with a spoon. When

cooled the candy is ready.

Nut Tree Plantings in Southeastern Iowa

ALBERT B. FERGUSON, _Center Point, Iowa_

Last year on our return from the Nut Growers Assn. tour, Mr. Snyder and

I stopped to see the Schlagenbusch Brothers and their nut plantings. We

thought at the time that it would be profitable to the Association to

have a report on their work. Mr. Snyder and I went down a month ago to

visit them again.

Sidney and Carl Schlagenbusch live in the southeastern part of Iowa. The

walnut orchard is on high land overlooking the Mississippi River bottom.

The ground was formerly oak and hickory timber. Most of their other

plantings are near the farm buildings which are just below the higher

ground.

The first planting of the walnut orchard was made in 1928 and was

completed 8 or 10 years later. It consisted of 205 trees. Later

additions have been made. There are about 325 grafted trees in the

orchard at present, most of them of bearing age. The trees are spaced 50

feet by 50 feet in staggered rows. Some of the branches are beginning to

touch. The diameter of the larger trees is 18 inches. The orchard is in

grass which is not grazed close. The larger portion of the orchard is

the Thomas variety. They have a selection of their own which was first

in the Iowa contest a few years ago. I thought it outstanding, but they

consider it a little small.

The nuts are gathered in a wagon and run through a corn sheller, then

cleaned in a device they made themselves. The nuts are then floated and

dried. Over half of the crop is cracked and sold as kernels. They have

been getting around a $1.20 per pound in Fort Madison. No crop to date

has exceeded a thousand dollars in value.

They also have several hickories and hybrids. The shellbark variety,

Wagoner, is outstanding--the best I've seen. It is large, thin shelled,

cracks easily, and is of good quality. A small tree grafted on shagbark

is bearing well. They have the common varieties of pecans, a few

chestnuts, a few English walnuts, Japanese walnuts and hybrids. The

Winkler Hazel has not been very productive with them.

They had several trees of Stabler, which were not satisfactory so they

cut the trees off close to the ground and put 6 or 8 bark grafts in the

stump. They saved the largest one as the main trunk and taking a graft

or a large sprout from the opposite side of the stump, inarching it into

the main trunk two or three feet up. This prevents the wind from blowing

the graft off of the stump. It also makes it possible to utilize the

strength of the roots from the opposite side of the stump. They had

several trees worked this way which are now of good size.

In addition to caring for their large farm, nut orchard and a choice

herd of Hereford cattle, Carl has found time to do some breeding work

with Oriental poppies from which he has made some very choice

selections. They have also worked with several other perennials. Sidney

and Carl Schlagenbusch are true horticulturists by nature and are fine

folks.

On the way home from this recent trip, we stopped to see Corliss

Williams near Danville. His brother Wendell Williams, located the

Winkler Hazel, before the first world war in which he served and never

returned. We saw a Persian walnut, 25 or 30 years old, in Mr. Williams

front yard. It was a U.S.D.A. introduction from Russia. It seems to be

perfectly hardy, bears well and is of excellent quality. The shagbark

hickories are plentiful in his locality. He has top-worked 200 or more,

many of them to Burlington, which is productive and fills well with him.

Rockville as a Hickory Interstock

HERMAN LAST, _Steamboat Rock, Iowa_

As a nut-grower I am afraid I have been over-rated; I make my living

tilling the soil and dabble in my nut grove only when I can find a few

moments to spare--in fact all I know about nuts and nut-grafting, I owe

to my good friend, Edgar Huen. I shall always remember that balmy May

morning 25 years ago when Mr. Huen came over with a kit full of hickory

scions, and suggested we go out in my pasture and do some grafting. In

that bag were Stratford, Rockville, Des Moines, Marquette, Hagen and

Monahan.

We grafted all that day--that is Mr. Huen did the grafting and I watched

him. Today these trees are living monuments of our work.

The only tree of these varieties that has ever borne enough nuts to feed

a squirrel is the Stratford.

Meanwhile I have been doing a little grafting myself. I acquired a few

pecans for understocks but the only variety that was congenial with

pecan as far as I knew was Rockville, but it produced no nuts--it was

just a nice tree to look at.

One spring my brother-in-law who lives just across the line in Missouri

sent me some shellbark scions from a tree in his pasture. I grafted

these scions on a pecan and they took off like a house on fire. This

variety proved to be a rugged individual and bore every year but the

nuts were no good--all cavities like a true shellbark.

Then one spring morning I grafted some of these shellbark scions on

Rockville; the grafts took and I soon noticed a transformation. The

grafts had blended with the understock and the offspring was different

from either parent. The best part of the new hybrid was that it bore

abundantly and the nuts are of fine quality.

To those who have some young Rockville trees for top-working, I can

furnish a limited amount of scionwood of this shellbark which I have

named my Super X, it being so rugged and hardy.

To me the grafting of trees is a noble work. Someone has said that he

who plants a tree is a true lover of his race and I don't know of

anything that will live longer in the memory of our children and those

who follow in our footsteps than a row of hickories laden with nuts.

A Fruitful Pair of Carpathian Walnut Varieties in Michigan

GILBERT BECKER, _Climax, Mich._

I would like to tell you briefly my experience with the difficulties of

Persian walnut pollination. It took 8 years before I got any nuts,

although they had nutlets time and again! It was after I had Crath #1

bearing, that all proceeded to fruit, and then heavier every year, until

1951 when the freeze of November 1950 eliminated the nuts.

Crath #1 has done so well that I feel it well worthy of being a

commercial prospect for us. The size and shape are so attractive. (The

accuracy of the numbering was once questioned by Mr. Stoke, so I do not

know if it is the same No. 1 that others have had from Crath. This was

named by Prof. Nielson. It definitely is not Broadview, as Stoke at

first thought.)

My Crath #1 had over four bushels of hulled and unhulled nuts (as they

are picked up, after shaking) this fall. It was grafted on black walnut

in 1938.

At my folks' place I planted a grafted Crath #1, and a Carpathian "D",

side by side. There are no other Persian walnuts near, and they have

always had nuts, since they started to bear. I feel that this is a

proper combination. I do not know whether the blooming periods overlap.

Suggested Blooming Data to be Recorded for Nut Tree Varieties

J. C. MCDANIEL, _Univ. of Illinois, Urbana, Ill._

Such experiences as Mr. Becker's (extracted from a letter to me) are

well worth knowing, and we need similar information for several years

and at different locations, for all the promising Persian seedlings and

new varieties. I would suggest that all of us who have them flowering in

our plantings (even if only one tree) make an effort in 1953 to record

as much as possible of the phenological data on them. A form such as the

following might be used, for flowering, fruiting, and related data.

Year: 19_____ Location: ____________________

Under "Remarks" could be recorded such information as the distance and

direction to trees furnishing pollen in the period when a given variety

has sticky appearing pistils, the abundance of pollen shed, apparent

winter killing of catkins, etc. The list of items could be expanded, if

desired, but it is thought that those included here are among the most

important in determining the potential performances of varieties and

variety combinations in specific climates. A compilation of such data

for a period of about three years, supplemented with data on the nuts

themselves, would be of very practical value as a basis for selecting

varieties most promising to plant or propagate. The same data form would

be applicable to other walnuts, hickories, pecans, and filberts, and

perhaps to a lesser extent with chestnuts.

Note on Chinese Chestnuts

HARWOOD STEIGER, _Redhook, N. Y._

My earliest Chinese chestnuts are ripening. Stoke Hybrid is earliest and

the nuts are so attractive, too bad they are not better in quality. It

is an exciting time here as there are always a few seedlings that are

ripening for the first time. Honan, which ripens later, has been one of

my best grafted trees. One of my seedlings has very large nuts, very

early ripening, nuts are now falling, and it is prolific, nearly every

burr has from two to three large to very large nuts. The quality seems

good. We like the large nuts as they are easier to peel and we like them

boiled and served as a vegetable. The boiled nuts keep well when frozen.

I think this tree is superior to any of my grafted and named varieties.

Scott Healey--An Obituary

Scott Healey was born December 3, 1881, in Wheatley, Ontario, Canada,

and came to Otsego, Michigan, in 1904. He married in 1908. Mr. Healey

was a chiropractor for a number of years.

In 1921, Mr. Healey and his cousin, Lewis Healey, formed the Healey &

Healey Lumber and Coal Company, in Otsego, which they operated together

until a few years ago, when Mr. Healey retired due to ill health.

Mr. Healey was a director of the State Savings Bank in Otsego for many

years. He was a member of the first Baptist Church in Otsego.

He became interested in nut culture while the late Professor James A.

Neilson was nut specialist at the Michigan State College. Mr. Healey

planted a nut orchard of about eighty grafted nut trees in 1933, which

Professor Neilson helped him plan. Most of the trees were black walnut

varieties, chiefly Thomas. However, there were some Ohio, Stabler,

Allen, Crietz, Stambaugh, Ten Eyck, and Rohwer trees. There were also

some filberts, several Chinese chestnuts, and some heartnuts he had

raised from seed. One nice tree of the McCallister hican makes good

shade, but has never borne any nuts. He did some topworking in a large

black walnut tree in the backyard, where he got a Persian walnut to

grow.

Mr. Healey was very much interested in nut culture, and had planned on

having a nut grove for a hobby to keep him busy when he retired.

Mr. Healey joined the Northern Nut Growers Association in 1933. He and

his wife attended the Battle Creek meeting one year later. They also

attended the Rockport, Indiana meeting in 1935, and the one at Geneva,

New York in 1936.--"The rest of the time he couldn't go or was in too

poor health to go."

They sold their home, with the nut planting, to a young couple, Mr. and

Mrs. Lewis Lovett, in 1948, moved into Otsego; and retired.

Mr. Healey died, January 18th, 1952 at their winter home in Port Richey,

Florida. Surviving are his wife, Mabel, and one son, Virgil.

GILBERT BECKER

A Letter from Dr. W. C. Deming, the Only Living Charter Member of the

Association

Northern Nut Growers Association,

Dear Old Friends:

The 42nd Annual Report has recently come to me. Think of it, the 42nd

Annual Report! How familiar to me are a great many of the names of the

officers and members! I can even recall the very features of many of

them. I am myself now ninety years old and practically house-bound.

Though yesterday, a day almost like summer, I did take a taxi and a

drive through the park amid the brilliant foliage, with Miss Dorothy

Hapgood, who by the way is a member of our association a thing with

which I may have had something to do. Recently I was in the Veterans

Hospital at Newington for a couple of weeks. The doctors called it

"_polycythemia_", the direct opposite of "_anaemia_", did 10

phlebotomies taking 5 pints of blood which they said they used for

transfusions on ward patients, much to my gratification. I now have in,

or had put in me, a dose, of radio-active phosphorus P32 which, they

assure me will be getting in its good work for the next three months.

Nothing like being up to date, even if valetudinarian.

You have made me Dean of the association. In the beginning Clarence Reed

was always back of me with his abilities and vast fund of information.

Although I believe I am, by virtue of my office, exempt from dues and

entitled to the annual reports, I wish my five children to be at least

once represented in the membership. I append their names and addresses:

Hawthorne, the eldest, is with the Gen. Electric Co. in New York. I

don't know what he does but presume that with the other New York

millionaires he is busy accumulating wealth. This hint may guide you in

soliciting alms for the association some day. His home is in Hamilton

Lane, Larien, Conn. But I don't know if he knows a nut from a lunatic.

He has two kids, one now preparing for Korea. God preserve him.

Benton is already a member. He has a few acres in the town of Avon,

Conn. where, among the rocks and the native rattlesnakes and copperheads

he tells me he has Chinese chestnuts growing. Recently he got two of the

copperheads. He is an energetic chap. He rises at 4 a.m. and drives the

several miles into Hartford where he broadcasts from 7 to 8, for

people's breakfasts, I suppose, and is released at 10 a.m. He has just

contracted for a television program once a week in New Haven.

Olcott is a consul in the U.S. Embassy in Tokio, transferred from a

similar position in Siam. If there is something you want from Japan I

guess he is your boy. Mention my name! He has a lovely wife and three

children.

Una King, my elder daughter, whose husband was killed in an accident,

interviews VIP's on the same radio station as brother Ben.

Joan Howe (Mrs. Paul) and her husband, who is in a bank in New York,

live in my old home on Umpawaug Hill, Redding, Conn. She writes of

having had a crop of black walnuts from one of the trees I planted. I've

forgotten all the others there may be there. Nothing of value I guess.

Joan has two daughters. Ben has a son and daughter.

That makes five children I'm responsible for and they have acknowledged

the eleven grandchildren for me. I want you to make four of my children

(Ben is already ensnare) members of the association, for which I will

enclose a check for $12.00 (if I don't forget.) (The many typing

mistakes of this letter are due mostly to the age of the machine, not

mine.)

My two sisters who live in our old home in Litchfield and who are close

behind me in years, recently sent me a handful of nice chestnuts,

Chinese, from a tree 40 feet or more high in our backyard. They have to

divide them, very unequally, with the squirrels. The only other

noteworthy trees in our little place are a few papaws. Asimina triloba,

too shaded to bear. This fruit might be worthy of a little attention

from the nut growers. The dictionary speaks of several other species of

papaw.

Any of you who have outgrown the labor of caring for nut trees might

find interest in mycology in which I found diversion and edibles for a

while. Only beware the deadly Amanita and others of that ilk.

I cannot adequately express to you my heartfelt joy at the prosperity of

our association. For one thing the great increase in the membership, for

another the birth of three branch state associations, but above all the

success in the production of nuts. In my time we had mostly, if not

entirely, the promising production of specimen nuts only. We had nothing

like the Jacobs Persian walnut with its imposing spread and its

production of 200 pounds of nuts in one season; Mr. Kyhl's orchard with

its many varieties of Persian walnuts; his success in grafting and his

reporting of a tree which bears three or four bushels of heartnuts

yearly; Mr. Best's 5,000 grafted pecan trees; Mr. Hirshi's chestnuts;

the splendid results of the Persian walnut contests; and the almost

spectacular increase in the number of nurseries selling grafted nut

trees of many varieties. These facts, and many that I have not

mentioned, make it certain that nut growing is now a firmly established

and surely increasing industry. You may be sure that these facts give me

great delight.

Some years ago while I was in possession of a mind as good as it had

been at any time, I did a little grafting of nut trees in a commercial

way for people at their country places, and I had the nerve to charge

them fifty dollars a day. What's more I got paid and never got kicked,

nor did I hear mutterings or see scowls. But then, you see, there was no

other grafter, of the kind, around my part of the country. Almost a

monopoly and, of course, a wicked one. But here my mind goes blank. I

can't recall what luck I had with the grafting, nor can I recall the

name of a single one for whom I did such work.

I strongly advise every one of you to have a good book in which you keep

personal and geographic records of all your work with nut growing. All

the details are vividly in your mind now, but when you get to be ninety

you may find them, as I do, faded away and all washed up. Please go on

with the good work.

Some more good friends have just taken me for a round trip to Litchfield

where my little sister, who is 84, has just partly circumvented the

squirrels and by going out very early in the morning to the chestnut

tree has succeeded in getting a good big double handful of chestnuts,

nice big ones.

She also called to my attention a good-sized Persian walnut which she

says I once grafted on a black walnut and this year was quite well

covered with nuts which she says the squirrels cut off while green, and

she says they were helped by one of the black plumaged birds. Some time

ago she gave me one of the nuts and I tried to husk it with my knife.

But it was too immature. They would have matured this fall, I think but

for the pests.

_William C. Deming_

Sweepstakes Award in Ohio Black Walnut Contest

L. WALTER SHERMAN, _Canfield, Ohio_

This I believe, is the third report to the Northern Nut Growers

Association concerning the black walnut contest held in Ohio in 1946.

The first report was given soon after the close of the contest. During

the year following the contest (1947), I visited each of the ten prize

winning trees, photographing them, and getting as complete a case

history of each as was possible.

This, the third report, concerns mainly the process used to determine

the winner of the $50.00 sweepstakes award given in 1951 for the best

performance of a black walnut tree for a five-year period. The owners of

the ten prize-winning trees in the 1946 contest were asked to report the

amount of crop harvested each year as well as to send in samples of the

nuts for a cracking test.

Complete data were recorded each year from the samples just as they had

been for the 1946 contest. The average weight of nut, recovery of kernel

at first cracking, total kernel content, and per cent of kernel content

were recorded.

From these data tables and charts were compiled to make a visual

comparison between the various nuts. Walnuts other than the prize

winners were not excluded from this five-year competition and quite a

few were submitted. However, only one of them, the "Chamberlin" was of

special merit and it was given a place on these charts. No samples or

crop records were received from the Davidson (sixth prize) and the

Jackson (tenth prize) nuts, and so they are not shown on all the charts.

One sample from the 1949 crop of Penn walnuts was lost to a pilfering

squirrel, and the 1949 data used on the chart for the Penn walnut was

therefore the average of all other samples of this variety. The weight

of total crop harvested in 1949, however, is actual.

Table No. 1 gives the average weight in grams of the sample nuts. The

Duke, (first prize) was the largest nut of all, in 1945, averaging just

over 27 grams; but the Orth, in 1948, averaged almost a gram more. The

Kuhn, which was the smallest of the eight nuts in 1946 and again in

1950, was the largest nut in 1949, and its size in 1949 was exceeded

only four times by any of the other nuts during the contest. The nuts

were large in size during the off year when only a small crop was

produced and they were small when there was a heavy crop.

In table No. 2 the weight in grams of the kernel recovered on first

crack, secured without the aid of nut pick, is recorded. In this

comparison the Duke, because of large size, might be expected to be an

easy winner and it was in 1946 and in 1950; but in 1948, though second

in average weight of nut for that year, it was in fifth place in

recovery of kernel at first cracking.

Table No. 3 records the average weight in grams of the kernels. Here the

Duke, due largely to its size, is a consistent winner in all three years

it produced nuts. However, in 1949, a small crop year for the Kuhn, the

nuts of this variety were large and contained more kernel than the Duke

did in 1948 or in 1950.

The per cent of kernel in the nuts as recorded in table No. 4 is

interesting. The Burson, which was the smallest nut in 1947, had the

highest per cent of kernel and also had the highest total kernel content

of any sample in that year. Evidently the per cent of kernel is higher

in well-filled nuts and this is largely determined by the weather and

available food supply late in the season.

A comparison of the numerical score of the various nuts, figured out

according to the T.V.A. score system, is given in Table No. 5. By this

system, no variety had a consistent high score, but each varied greatly

from year to year.

The nut characters studied so far in charts 1 to 5 inclusive have varied

so much from year to year that any judgment based on these characters

for any one year could not be relied upon.

What characteristic of a black walnut, then, can be used in evaluating

it? In table No. 6 the percentage of the total kernel that is recovered

at first cracking is given. Oliver and Penn show considerable

consistency in that they remain above 91 per cent in all samples, but

look at the Kuhn. It was perfect in 1950 but in 1948 only 65 per cent of

the kernel was recoverable in the first cracking and Duke was nearly as

bad, varying from 69 to 98 per cent recovery.

After careful study of these six charts, I am sure you will have to

admit that any judgment of a black walnut variety based on these

characters only is none too dependable.

These are the nut characters that we have been using in our contest!

Some further method of evaluation is needed! Individual nut characters

alone are not enough. A good farmer is concerned in quality of his

produce but quantity is of more importance for financial success. The

Elberta peach well illustrates this. There are many peaches of better

quality, but the Elberta peach is a prolific producer and this is one

reason more Elberta peaches are raised than any other variety. Quality

without quantity means little.

With this in mind, the $50.00 sweepstakes prize was offered for the tree

with the best five-year record. The judges interpreted this to mean the

most pound of kernels produced that were recovered on first crack. Going

back over the records, we find some trees have been much more productive

than others.

At first it would seem unfair to compare the crop from trees of

different size and age, but this time luck was with the judges. Take a

look at Table No. 7 which gives the ages and sizes of the trees. There

is not too much difference in size or age to make reasonable comparisons

possible. However, it should be clearly understood that only trees of

the same age growing in the same orchard and receiving the same care can

be accurately compared. The trees we are dealing with were in different

localities, with vast differences in soil conditions, air drainage,

climate, etc.

Table No. 7 gives the total production for the five-year period for each

tree, in bushels, the total amount of kernel as well as the amount of

kernel recovered at first cracking. Only five trees had produced over

four bushels of nuts each during the five year period.

The Oliver tree produced 1.8 bushels and 25 pounds more kernels than the

Penn tree. The Kuhn tree, though producing four bushels less nuts than

the Penn tree, did produce 4.1 pounds more kernels, with the same amount

recovered on first cracking from the nuts of each tree--almost a photo

finish for second place.

The sweepstakes award of $50.00 was therefore given to Mrs. Oliver

Shaffer, of Lucasville, Ohio, who sent in the Oliver entry.

Referring to the case histories of these trees as written up in 1947,

you will find that the Oliver, Kuhn, Penn, and Orth trees were reported

on favorable sites, while the Duke and Burson were on very unfavorable

ones so that the above results are only what might have been expected.

The Orth tree, however, is in a favorable location and better production

could have been expected of it.
