d seedlings, a few of which will be ready to graft next year. I have twenty acres of the Paragon chestnuts growing. President Morris: In chestnut grafting, we will find that one kind does not graft or bud readily upon another kind, perhaps. For instance, there is some antagonism between the American sweet chestnut and Asiatic chestnuts. There is some antagonism between Asiatic and Europeans; there is little between Europeans and American sweet. These antagonisms are something that one has to learn from experience at the present time, because I doubt if we have had enough experience to know just where we stand on this question. Professor Collins: Doesn't there seem to be antagonism between eastern Asiatic other than Japanese and Japanese? President Morris: Yes; the Koreans of both kinds, the north Japanese of both kinds, and the Manchurian chestnut are the five that I have experimented with in grafting, and none of those grow so well on American stock as they should. Professor Collins: I mean to say between the Korean and the Japanese. President Morris: There is less antagonism. You can graft the Korean upon the Japanese and the Japanese upon the Korean very readily. They have very much the same texture of wood, the same character of buds and bark. Professor Collins: Is there any antagonism between eastern Asian and Japanese? President Morris: I don't know that my experience has been extensive enough to say. My men have put on perhaps two or three hundred grafts back and forth between these kinds, the customary accidents have happened, and we have about given up trying to do much grafting of Japanese on American, but still plan to graft Japanese back and forth upon each other, and we are now planning to graft European and American back and forth upon each other. Mr. Brown: What about the position of the graft? President Morris: I don't know, Mr. Brown, if there is very much difference. I haven't found very much. I have grafted all the way from the root to the top. Mr. Rush: It is better on top. Sometimes the grafting has an effect upon the stock just at the union. If it is budded low, it blights. The bark gets loose. All those that are grafted high are doing remarkably well. President Morris: The next on the list is Doctor Deming's paper on "Nut Promotions." Doctor Deming: I will read first a communication from Mr. Henry Hales of Ridgewood, New Jersey. HALES' PAPER SHELL HICKORY.
