Reliable was an introduction of H. F. Stoke, Roanoke, Va., by whom it
was propagated for a short time only, beginning in 1938. It is not known
to have been catalogued by any other nurseryman. Ten fresh nuts in 1939
averaged at the rate of 79 to the pound. Six days later, after further
curing had taken place, the number became 101 to the pound. Aside from
having a good bearing record, there appears to be little reason for
continuing this variety.
