We have really tested only two varieties so far, these are the
Fodermaier and Wright. Both are very good, but we now consider Wright to
be by far the better of the two. It is somewhat hardier than Fodermaier,
nuts ripen earlier, and bears better with us. Fodermaier is also more
severely affected by the butternut curculio than is the Wright, some
years nearly all of the Fodermaier nuts have been destroyed by the
curculio.
GELLATLY has borne only one year with us, so we cannot form much of an
opinion on it. It appears to be a very good nut.
