BEAM: See Mr. Bixby's paper in 1926 report. THE BEAVER (Shag. x Bitter.): Dr. Deming: It grows rapidly. The nuts are not of very good quality, like most bitternut hybrids. The Beaver is growing in the Kellogg plantings at Battle Creek and is mentioned in Dr. Zimmerman's report, page 19, 1932. Carl Weschcke has it growing at River Falls, Wis. E. C. Rice, Absher, Ky., has one one-year graft on bitternut, height 5 feet. J. H. Gage, Hamilton, Ont., has one Beaver tree planted in 1924 and moved in 1925 growing in light sandy soil on north shore at west end Lake Ontario. Diameter of the trunk is about three inches, tree fifteen feet high, bore first time in 1934. It is growing at the Riehl Farm, Godfrey, Ill., and in the Jones Nursery, Lancaster, Pa. THE BEAM: Is mentioned in Mr. Bixby's paper in 1926 report. THE BILLAU: Is mentioned in Mr. Bixby's paper in 1926 report. THE BONTRAGER (Shag.): Won third prize in 1929 contest, page 53, 1931. Tree owned by John D. Bontrager, Middlebury, Ind. THE BROOKS (Shag.): Is mentioned in Mr. Bixby's paper in 1926 report. It won ninth prize in 1929 contest, page 53, 1931, to Mrs. John Brooks, Ottumwa, Iowa. Carl Weschcke has it growing at River Falls, Wis. THE BURLINGTON (Pecan x shell.): Dr. Deming: The true name of the nut we call Marquardt. The Michigan Nut Nursery have trees bearing. Miss Jones: A characteristic of all shellbark x pecan hybrids is that they don't fill well. Mr. Corsan: Are they in exceedingly rich soil or just ordinary? I find that nuts respond to rich soil. Miss Jones: They are in ordinary soil. Dr. MacDaniels: We have two trees at Ithaca about ten years old which have borne but the nuts have not filled very well. Dr. Deming: Is the Burlington worth growing? Does it fill so badly that it is not a success? Miss Jones: The kernel fills out about three-fourths of the way. It fills better than the McCallister. Mr. Corsan: I have never seen such a fine nut in my life. Mr. Wilkinson: It is a good hybrid and a wonderful bearer. Dr. Deming: Every year? Mr. Wilkinson: Yes, and matures unusually early. The Burlington is in the Riehl plantings at Godfrey, Ill. It is mentioned in Mr. Bixby's paper in 1926 report. Carl Weschcke has young trees growing at River Falls, Wis. Sargeant H. Wellman has some young trees at Topsfield, Mass. F. H. Frey has young tree in yard at Chicago, but it has not borne nuts as yet.
