PROGRAM FOR AUTOMOBILE TRIPS SEPTEMBER

1ST AND 2D, 1915

The program below is intended as a guide only. It may be necessary on account of conditions to vary this. It is therefore highly important that all automobiles follow one another along the lines later designated in this sheet.

On the afternoons of September 1st and 2d, we propose to drive in automobiles to the various trees of interest in the immediate neighborhood of Rochester. The limit of the trip on September 1st will be Hilton, N. Y. The present plan is to visit the trees in the following order:

1--230 Saratoga Avenue, Persian Walnut seedling;

2--Kramer, Emerson Street and Lake Avenue, Persian Walnut (This is
the parent tree of the Thompson Grove seedlings at East Avon, N.
Y.);

3--Riverside Cemetery, Hybrid Hickory Laneyii (tree named after Mr.
Calvin C. Laney, Superintendent of Parks, Rochester, N. Y., by Dr.
Sargeant of the Arnold Arboretum);

4--Westgate farm, Stone Road, Persian Walnut seedlings and filberts
(nuts for the seedling trees and filbert bushes imported from
England);

5--W. H. Anderson and Wm. Twitchill, Ridge Road, seedling Walnut
(of these one tree 105 years old);

6--Hilton, N. Y., Holden trees, from which the Holden Walnuts
originated;

7--McGlennon Nursery, Denise Road, filbert plantings, two years
old;

8--Clifford Avenue, between St. Paul Street and Clinton Avenue
North, seedling Walnuts;

9--Spiegel Park, seedling Walnuts;

10--Culver Road and Parsells Avenue, Hybrid Walnut and Butternuts.

(End of trip September 1st, 1915)

_September 2d, 1915_

1--Gregory Street, McGlennon Nursery, filberts; 2--Highland Park,
Hazel; 3--West Brighton, Mrs. W. J. Miller, seedling Walnuts;
4--Golah, N. Y., King Nut Hickory; 5--Seedling Walnut grove,
Adelbert Thompson, East Avon, N. Y.

All automobiles intended to convey members of the Association will have a sign "Northern Nut Growers Association." All cars will follow a pilot car, which will be plainly marked. There will be one relief car, which will be plainly marked, and will carry no passengers except in emergency. In the event of any break-down in an automobile, the emergency car will immediately pick up the passengers of the one delayed, and transfer its sign to the delayed car. The delayed car, after repairs, will act as a relief car in its place.

The start of both trips will be made from Powers Hotel at 1:45 P. M. All members are requested to be on hand promptly, as the several stops will consume considerable time. Unless delay in starting is provided against, the trip may be prolonged beyond a comfortable limit.

RESOLUTIONS

PASSED BY THE NORTHERN NUT GROWERS ASSOCIATION IN SESSION AT ROCHESTER, N. Y., SEPTEMBER 1 AND 2, 1915

No chestnut stock should go out unless it is thoroughly sterilized by some satisfactory method and tagged by proper authority to show that fact.

States that are still clear of the blight are advised that effective quarantine is desirable to delay, for a time at least, the spread of the blight. Four infestations of chestnut blight have been found in Indiana in July and August, 1915. This fact, and the continued spread of this fatal fungus, are some of the reasons for this recommendation.

* * * * *

Nut trees may and do sometimes come fairly true to type but they do not come true to variety. Consequently our association does not approve of the sale of seedling trees under variety names; and this association further recommends to all journals that they take no advertisements for nut trees if such trees are not sold under conditions that clearly comply with the provisions of this resolution.

~"No, we would not think of planting a tree without using dynamite."--~

Extract from a letter received from Edwards & Patterson, Milledgeville, Ga., who are amongst Georgia's best known pecan growers.

Edwards & Patterson's pecans, actual size, sent to us as fair average samples of nuts grown on unblasted and blasted trees. The pecan at the top was grown on a tree in unblasted soil,--at the bottom is the pecan grown where the soil was blasted.

Blasting with RED CROSS EXPLOSIVES shatters the compact soil, extends the feeding area of roots and increases the water-holding capacity of the ground.

Tree-planting in blasted ground is "life insurance" for all kinds of fruit and nut trees. Plant your pecans in blasted ground, and stop first-year losses.

Write for HANDBOOK OF EXPLOSIVES telling about tree-planting and other ways of using RED CROSS EXPLOSIVES.
