Manitoba Hazelnut.—From the 1916 list: Ornamental as well as useful. The need is apparent of a nut-bearing shrub for the open prairie. We now have the wild native hazelnut of Manitoba in the third generation under cultivation. These were the plants distributed.

From the 1923 list: Visitors to the college grounds have been pleased with the heavy bearing of these hazel hedges. The plants vary greatly in size of fruit and in time will no doubt approximate that of the filberts of England and France.

Nevis, Minnesota, Hazelnut-—From the 1922 list: Grown from wild hazelnuts picked near Nevis, northwestern Minnesota. These wild hazelnuts are interesting wild ornamental plants and the fruit is worthy of consideration although not as large as the tame filbert.

Manchu Walnut.—Introduced 1926. The local Harbin form of the Manchurian Walnut, Juglans Mandshurica, Maxim. The nuts are larger than those illustrated in Bailey’s Encyclopedia of Horticulture under this species. Grown from native seed obtained at Harbin, China, in 1924 by N. E. Hansen.

New Ulm Black Walnut.—From the 1916 list: “The farthest north- western limit of the native black walnut is probably near New Ulm, Minnesota. This lot of trees began to bear at seven years from the seed.” Two-year-old trees of the second generation were distributed.
From the 1924 list: “Northern planters should plant this northern form of the Black Walnut, one of our most valuable trees.”
