This ring budding mode has been employed by the French for centuries, and in the Department of Isere, where almost all walnuts are grafted are trees of Mayette, Franquette and Chaberte, grafted on French walnut root, for no other stock is used in that country for grafting purposes, that the oldest inhabitant cannot tell the age. Huge walnut trees, three to four feet in diameter, may be seen all over the southeast and southwest of France, worth a great deal of money for the wood. A gentleman from Oregon, who a year ago came to California to investigate the walnut, and who last summer went to France, right in the walnut district of Isere, to continue his investigations, wrote to me from Grenoble that he saw a tree there that bore 2000 pounds of nuts that had been sold for $240 for lumber; but it was, he added, 200 years old; and still we hear of some people in California claiming that newly originated varieties in this state are more long lived than French walnuts. I quote from the Oregon gentleman's letter: "The trees in Isere are headed high, nine and ten feet, the ground being cultivated about twelve inches, and formerly they did not cultivate. The trees grow in a obtaining a more uniform nut; to redeem through blighted trees with new varieties known to be able from blight, and, I mean from frosts in districts is much danger of late spring. So the graft almost a fad, spread like over the state and the grafted trees increased tion. To my knowledge of land in Santa Clara, Canyon Napa and other counties planted to California, are black to be afterward grown or that variety. Now, we advice has been sought omitted to plant the black in preference to black, or, at least, to plant of each California and black and ordinary B graft the three kinds, and grafted trees would have fair size, that is the sie die-back or root rot is listed out in a walnut grove, then able to decide which stock best in their soil. People nothing by follow advice; but I say: Beware fornia black! For trees that stock and also on nut root are liable to die-back, a disease of the culiar to this state, and gard as entirely distinct blight or bacteriosis, the caused by a germ as clear by the United States stationed at Santa Paula ton B. Pierce. When hear of some people in California claiming that newly originated varieties in this state are more long lived than French walnuts. I quote from the Oregon gentleman's letter: "The trees in Isere are headed high, nine and ten feet, the ground being cultivated about twelve inches, and formerly they did not cultivate. The trees grow in a very gravelly soil, very much like the gravelly soil I have seen in Clark county, Washington. Different kinds of grain were growing amongst the trees and were planted very close up to the trees. The price of the 1905 crop [Grenoble or Mayette] was 13c per pound landed in New York, and the California growers usually fix their price one cent lower than the French price. BEST STOCK FOR GRAFTING THE WALNUT. This is a most important and delicate question to decide in a country like California where walnut culture, young as it is, has already to contend against serious diseases or affections of the tree itself and its crop of nuts, such as blight or bacteriosis, die-back or root rot, sunburn, and I do not know what else, and it is well for anyone starting a walnut grove to be acquainted with these drawbacks to walnut raising on the Pacific Coast. Though directly interested myself from a financial point of view in the planting of walnut trees, I think that I owe it to our people, since I have constantly advocated the planting of walnut trees all over the coast for 36 years, to tell all I know against, as well as for, walnut culture here. Some thirty years ago, at the time I was first advocating the grafting of the walnut tree, it was claimed by most nurserymen and walnut growers themselves in Southern California that the walnut did not require to be grafted, that it came true from the seed, and so they kept on planting seedling trees, without any regard to generation, and with the stock and also on my nut root are liable to be die-back, a disease of the culiar to this state, and a gard as entirely distinct blight or bacteriosis, then caused by a germ as clear by the United States stationed at Santa Paulton B. Pierce. When riving to plant the American preference to the California mean to say that the for mune from the disease butternut, for I know only and hickory to be entire from it. The first tree that I California black, 32 years to a fine size, six to eight diameter near the ground to succumb to the fatal o so on every tree I su grafted, and so did the black seedling itself. I trees affected the same obvious parts of this state, Placer, Santa Clara, Son ties, and know by corr that the disease exists all the state. In Ventu pendent wrote to me 14 asking my advice in rega die-back that had broken especially amongst his I or hard shell walnut when, lately, I inquired how had been doing since, came: "Dead long ago."

Finally blight broke out among the walnut groves of Southern California, spreading out more or less all over the state, which all worked administratively toward my former advice of propagating the walnut by grafting, the idea now being, besides that of PATENTS PROCURED AND DEFENDED.

CA·SNOW& Inning a more uniform grade of soil to redeem through it the planted trees with new or old variegated known to be about immune frostlight, and, I may add, also frosts in districts where there is such danger of late frosts in the spring. So the grafting notion, at a fad, spread like wild fire all over the state and the demand for grafted trees increased in proportion. To my knowledge large tracts had in Santa Clara, Contra Costa, and other counties are being used to California, and American soil to be afterward grafted to this variety. Now, whenever my life has been sought I have recalled to plant the American tree in preference to California or, at least, to plant one third of California and American land ordinary English, and the three kinds, and when those trees would have grown to a size, that is the size at which stock or root rot is liable to break on a walnut grove, they would be able to decide which stock does the soil their soil. People would lose by following that advice; but I say: Beware of Cali-black! For trees grafted on rock and also on English walnut are liable to be attacked by rock, a disease of the walnut peat this state, and which I regard entirely distinct from the bacteriosis, the latter being caused by a germ as clearly described by United States pathologist Ed at Santa Paula, Mr. New-Pierce. When recommend- caying condition. Whenever a tree of whatever species shows on its top signs of decay, look at the roots and in most cases you will find the cause of the disease to reside there, whether started by inset, fungus or something else. Some trees, however, might get over the trouble in this way: When the tap root is gone and the large lateral ones in a decaying condition, the tree may in the meantime grow lateral roots near the surface and save the tree. As I said, I know only the pecan and hickory to be entirely immune from that disease, and it might be advisable to try grafting the walnut below the ground on pecan root; though I am afraid the English walnut would outgrow the pecan too much—still it might be tried. The same in the Gulf and Southern Atlantic coast, and where pecans do so finely, it would be worth a trial, especially since the English walnut roots are attacked there by root knot, the very reason why they won't in the south the English walnut on American black. JUGLANS RUPESTRIS. At present I am experimenting on a new stock. the Juglans Rupestris from the Pecos valley, New Mexico. In the spring of 1899 the department of agriculture sent me one-year-old seedlings of that variety for me to experiment upon as a stock for the English walnut. As the trees did not have enough roots on to be grafted by the Treyve process in the propagating house, I planted them in the nursery row, two feet apart, and finally let them grow up to bearing size to find out more stock and also on English walnut are liable to be attacked by black, a disease of the walnut peanut this state, and which I regard entirely distinct from the or bacteriosis, the latter being by a germ as clearly described in United States pathologist Ed at Santa Paula, Mr. Newbury Pierce.

I have seen affected the same way in var-tions of this state, in Nevada, Santa Clara, Sonoma county know by correspondence the disease exists a little over state. In Ventura a corres-nt wrote to me 14 years ago, my advice in regard to that sick that had broken out badly amongst his Los Angeles and shell walnut trees; and finally, I inquired how the trees been doing since, the reply "Dead long ago." The same from Santa Barbara; a grower in upper part of that county in Prof. E. J.

In the spring of 1899 the department of agriculture sent me one-year-old seedlings of that variety for me to experiment upon as a stock for the English walnut. As the trees did not have enough roots on to be grafted by the Treyve process in the propagating house, I planted them in the nursery row, two feet apart, and finally let them grow up to bearing size to find out more about their growth. I must say that this Juglans Rupestris is the best rooted tree of the whole nut family, even beating on that score the pecan and hickory, so hard to take up when of a good size. The foliage of the Rupestris is exceedingly ornamental and most elegant; indeed, the tree might very well be planted simply for its foliage. It goes to bearing early, growing clusters of very small nuts, smaller than marbles, with the shell hard and furrowed, and of no account whatever. This spring I intend to try it as a stock for the English walnut, having quite a number of yearling trees with fiber enough to permit its grafting in greenhouse. That question of stock for the walnut is a very important one, and all interested parties should give it their most careful attention, and not follow too blindly the suggestions of this or that party, but do some experimenting of their own, and use various sorts of stock to find out which does the best with them. IMPORTANCE OF THE WALNUT TRADE. Before closing this rather long letter I would like to say something on the present prospects of the walnut industry, which, with all its drawbacks, I regard as decidedly good, and with a fine market for whatever the whole Pacific Coast might raise. Since this state, or rather the southern part of it, is producing such large quantities of walnuts, amounting yearly to millions of pounds, walnut growers down there were prone to claim that the imports of walnuts from abroad were getting to be less what in a plantation of about s, all of them had the diemore or less, except a few. 50 years I have not used at all onia black for stock, only Amblack for stock, and so far I had no trouble with it. die-back of the walnut, which root rot, may be called phylof the walnut, though the disease affects also the chestnot before either is of a fair, size; I notice that a similar affects the medlar, hawthorn er. Now I think that a walhestnut tree affected by that whatever name is given, is the chances, at any rate, in nine cases out of ten, the will die. When the top of a it walnut, chestnut or pear, ed by die-back, as commonly sure that the roots are afThe die-back, in fact, is the a cause residing right in the and which starts the rotting roots; and by digging away trees when the disease is making out, you will find that ears are attacked, then the roots, and last the large will follow exactly in the same as the grape vine roots aty philloxera. A walnut tree shows signs of to the very tip of the top, the tap root is affected—and an idea that the disease starts more—but when the whole top ed all the roots are in a de- backs, I regard as decidedly good, and with a fine market for whatever the whole Pacific Coast might raise. Since this state, or rather the souern part of it, is producing such large quantities of walnuts, amounting yearly to millions of pounds, walnut growers down there were prone to claim that the imports of walnuts from abroad were getting to be less and less every year. Such claims, of course, were made at random, and based on no figures whatever. So let us see: In 1902 the imports of walnuts were as follows: Not shelled, 9,702,-558 pounds; shelled, 2,224,879 pounds; total, 11,927,432 pounds. In 1903—Not shelled, 8,936,438 pounds; shelled, 3,035,970 pounds; total, 11,972,408 pounds. In 1904—Not shelled, 19,456,012 pounds; shelled, 3,379,941 pounds; total, 23,033,953 pounds. In 1905—Not shelled, 16,312,138 pounds; shelled, 3,579,941 pounds; total, 20,490,147 pounds. As these figures were obtained through the courtesy of O. P. Austtin, a very obliging official and chief of bureau of statistics, department of commerce and labor, Washington, must be regarded as correct; and still the California output is far from being small, for it was roughly estimated at 17,140,000 pounds in 1902, and 11,000,000 in 1903. I have not the figures for the last two years, Continued on Page 6.
