Children's Literature A Textbook of Sources for Teachers and Teacher-Training Classes If that little tree has as many nuts on it as it had catkins this year, I'm going to have to move the corn out of the crib and put the walnuts in there. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 44th Annual Meeting Rochester, N.Y. August 31 and September 1, 1953 An examination of these partially injured catkins, however, revealed the fact that they did produce some pollen. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 41st Annual Meeting Pleasant Valley, New York, August 28, 29 and 30, 1950 The ones that we have encountered at Geneva have been winter injury, particularly of the catkins, and also some of them have not been as hardy in wood as we would like. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 43rd Annual Meeting Rockport, Indiana, August 25, 26 and 27, 1952 They never bear anything, but they have staminate catkins. Northern Nut Growers Association Incorporated 39th Annual Report at Norris, Tenn. September 13-15 1948 It plainly shows that but a very few catkins are necessary for pollenization, even over a wide area. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Eleventh Annual Meeting Washington, D. C. October 7 and 8, 1920 When the snow is deep and the cold bites deep, their tight little catkins always hold forth the comfortable promise of spring. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 44th Annual Meeting Rochester, N.Y. August 31 and September 1, 1953 It will always remain a mystery to me how as many walnuts were pollinated and set as there were, with the scant crop of catkins. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 41st Annual Meeting Pleasant Valley, New York, August 28, 29 and 30, 1950 One of them produces a great abundance of catkins, but neither of them has produced any nuts yet, and they are 14 feet high or more, good-sized trees and very attractive. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 43rd Annual Meeting Rockport, Indiana, August 25, 26 and 27, 1952 In the case of hazelnut and filbert the pistillate flowers are borne in lateral buds on shoots of the previous season, as are also the staminate flowers or catkins. Northern Nut Growers Association Incorporated 39th Annual Report at Norris, Tenn. September 13-15 1948 I have some German strain that I received from Mr. McGlennon that are full of catkins for next year. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Eleventh Annual Meeting Washington, D. C. October 7 and 8, 1920 Then, of course, after the last tiny blossom has faded and the last catkin has withered, the leaves push forth. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 44th Annual Meeting Rochester, N.Y. August 31 and September 1, 1953 Injury in filberts was confined mostly to the catkins and twigs. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 41st Annual Meeting Pleasant Valley, New York, August 28, 29 and 30, 1950 The Jones hybrids, when the catkins are killed, have very few, if any nuts. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 43rd Annual Meeting Rockport, Indiana, August 25, 26 and 27, 1952 Nevertheless, with filberts coming into bloom in late February to early March, they would be subjected to temperatures that might result in injury especially to the catkins. Northern Nut Growers Association Incorporated 39th Annual Report at Norris, Tenn. September 13-15 1948 Dr. Morris: For instance, take the hazel when its catkins are just beginning to elongate. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Fifth Annual Meeting Evansville, Indiana, August 20 and 21, 1914 The catkins shed pollen when the temperature and atmospheric conditions are normal. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 44th Annual Meeting Rochester, N.Y. August 31 and September 1, 1953 On August 3, 1950, I climbed thirty feet into upper branches to see if there was any crop, but none was to be seen, but heavy crop of catkins was developing for 1951. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 41st Annual Meeting Pleasant Valley, New York, August 28, 29 and 30, 1950 Some years we have a crop, if some of the catkins are held back and bloom late. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 43rd Annual Meeting Rockport, Indiana, August 25, 26 and 27, 1952 The catkins of the filbert develop during the summer, lie dormant through the winter, and shed their pollen very early in the spring. Northern Nut Growers Association Incorporated 39th Annual Report at Norris, Tenn. September 13-15 1948 I got some hazel catkins this spring that were elongating. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Fifth Annual Meeting Evansville, Indiana, August 20 and 21, 1914 The butternut is the first to shed pollen in Indiana with the catkins dropping, in some years, by late April and the first week in May. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 44th Annual Meeting Rochester, N.Y. August 31 and September 1, 1953 They make the nuts, but there is not even one catkin. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 41st Annual Meeting Pleasant Valley, New York, August 28, 29 and 30, 1950 WHITFORD: The catkins might have been killed, but you might have had some cross-pollination from other sources. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 43rd Annual Meeting Rockport, Indiana, August 25, 26 and 27, 1952 If the winter was kind, the filbert bushes will be a riot of golden catkins, shedding their pollen. Northern Nut Growers Association Incorporated 39th Annual Report at Norris, Tenn. September 13-15 1948 I kept these undeveloped catkins that I had received in a cold dark place. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Fifth Annual Meeting Evansville, Indiana, August 20 and 21, 1914 The catkins of the Persian trees had dried by May 12th. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 44th Annual Meeting Rochester, N.Y. August 31 and September 1, 1953 The reason for this cross originally, was that, so far as we could see in the last fifteen years the male catkins never winter-kill; whereas filbert trees are subject to this hazard. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 41st Annual Meeting Pleasant Valley, New York, August 28, 29 and 30, 1950 Infested catkins become distorted, rigid, and brittle, and yield no pollen. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 43rd Annual Meeting Rockport, Indiana, August 25, 26 and 27, 1952 I have a seedling about ten years old which didn't have one catkin bloom. Northern Nut Growers Association, Report of the Proceedings at the Fourth Annual Meeting Washington D.C. November 18 and 19, 1913 I believe the chestnut is a better money nut here than the pecan, as natives here bear very sparsely and irregularly although the catkins or male part usually come out in great profusion. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Fifth Annual Meeting Evansville, Indiana, August 20 and 21, 1914 The flowers are borne on the present year's growth in long catkins. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 44th Annual Meeting Rochester, N.Y. August 31 and September 1, 1953 Some of the filbert varieties have the ability to withstand changeable weather and not lose all of their catkins. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 41st Annual Meeting Pleasant Valley, New York, August 28, 29 and 30, 1950 The catkin begins to take on a brownish color and at length the whole catkin, in case it is staminate, drops off. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 43rd Annual Meeting Rockport, Indiana, August 25, 26 and 27, 1952 The reason a five or six-year-old Persian walnut tree does not bear many walnuts is that there are no staminate catkins. Northern Nut Growers Association, Report of the Proceedings at the Fourth Annual Meeting Washington D.C. November 18 and 19, 1913 She shouted out, in a happy way, At the catkins’ fur, so soft and gray; She smoothed them down with loving pats, And called them her little pussie-cats. On the Tree Top The remainder of the catkin bears male flowers similar to those on the all-male catkins. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 44th Annual Meeting Rochester, N.Y. August 31 and September 1, 1953 Even then, some of the catkins on the German varieties and others came through fairly well. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 41st Annual Meeting Pleasant Valley, New York, August 28, 29 and 30, 1950 Places where I gathered flowers and gazed with interest at the catkins of the hazel, have now become places covered with ironworks, where steam hammers make their perpetual thuds, and through which railway-sidings everywhere ramify. The Best of the World's Classics, Restricted to Prose, Vol. VI (of X)—Great Britain and Ireland IV It has also been applied to a fabric of a woolly nature; cf. the botanical catkin, which is in French chaton, kitten. The Romance of Words (4th ed.) I have seen good ones made of peanuts, with the features inked on, and a very young black birch catkin for tail. Woodland Tales Emasculation and bagging was done at the beginning of anthesis, that is, when the first unisexual male catkins began to shed pollen. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 44th Annual Meeting Rochester, N.Y. August 31 and September 1, 1953 No crop this year, but has a good crop of catkins showing for 1951. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 41st Annual Meeting Pleasant Valley, New York, August 28, 29 and 30, 1950 The catkins are very large, at least much larger than those on the other trees we have, and hang on longer. Northern Nut Growers Association, Report of the Proceedings at the Third Annual Meeting Lancaster, Pennsylvania, December 18 and 19, 1912 In the monstrous fruit the axis is prolonged, and forms a kind of raceme or catkin, surrounded at the base by numerous bracts, as in many Amentaceæ. Vegetable Teratology An Account of the Principal Deviations from the Usual Construction of Plants Tiny furry little catkins Where the Meuse runs green and clear, Do the children run to pick you In this springtime of the year? Songs for a Little House To carry on pollination the bags are removed and the pollen-bearing catkins are brushed lightly over the stigmas several times, one or more fresh catkins being used in each bag. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 44th Annual Meeting Rochester, N.Y. August 31 and September 1, 1953 This has been due mainly to winter injury, resulting either in the killing of the staminate catkins by cold, or of the developing catkins by late spring freezes and frosts. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 41st Annual Meeting Pleasant Valley, New York, August 28, 29 and 30, 1950 Owing to the very vigorous weather of the past winter the catkins on the older Persians at Arlington Farm were killed. Northern Nut Growers Association, Report of the Proceedings at the Third Annual Meeting Lancaster, Pennsylvania, December 18 and 19, 1912 In the case of the hazel the unusual development of male catkins sometimes coincides with an alteration in their position, instead of being placed near the axil of a leaf; they become terminal. Vegetable Teratology An Account of the Principal Deviations from the Usual Construction of Plants And the next thing, in the woods, The catkins in their hoods Of fur and silk will stand, A sturdy little band. The Posy Ring A Book of Verse for Children Craig, Brag and Comet, the only ones which have borne staminate flowers do not seem too hardy in the catkins however. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Thirty-Eighth Annual Meeting Guelph, Ontario, September 3, 4, 5, 1947 Most of these seedlings have borne a few nuts to date, but we cannot give anything definite as to whether the catkins are hardier than those of the parents. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 41st Annual Meeting Pleasant Valley, New York, August 28, 29 and 30, 1950 The trees are budding in buds of rosy hue, the willow branches are decked with silvery catkins powdered with gold. A Book of Myths The cut ends of Corylus branches with mature catkins collected March 1, 1942 were immersed in water and forced into shedding pollen in a room at a temperature of approximately 20° centigrade. Northern Nut Growers Association Thirty-Fourth Annual Report 1943 In the wind of windy March The catkins drop down, Curly, caterpillar-like, Curious green and brown. The Posy Ring A Book of Verse for Children The policy followed has been not to discard a plant because it bears small nuts or no nuts at all, because such trees may bear hardy catkins that live through the winter. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Thirty-Eighth Annual Meeting Guelph, Ontario, September 3, 4, 5, 1947 As the catkins were killed on all but one variety, due to the unseasonable weather experienced last winter, there will be only a light crop. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 41st Annual Meeting Pleasant Valley, New York, August 28, 29 and 30, 1950 THE rock-like mud unfroze a little and rills Ran and sparkled down each side of the road Under the catkins wagging in the hedge. Poems The low humidity level corresponded to the natural room humidity, about 25% and the higher level of nearly 100% was achieved by enclosing the branches with catkins in large sealed cans over a water surface. Northern Nut Growers Association Thirty-Fourth Annual Report 1943 The Barcelona and Du Chilly are thickly set with catkins this fall, and by all indications there will be a very nice crop next summer. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Second Annual Meeting Ithaca, New York, December 14 and 15, 1911 It was here that the records of yields and catkin hardiness were valuable. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Thirty-Eighth Annual Meeting Guelph, Ontario, September 3, 4, 5, 1947 They were leafed out and the catkins were elongated before any Franquettes, even in the Willamette Valley, had started breaking buds. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the 41st Annual Meeting Pleasant Valley, New York, August 28, 29 and 30, 1950 Her catkins were stripped from her, worn for a few hours in yokels’ hats, and flung aside. "Wee Tim'rous Beasties" Studies of Animal life and Character Two mature catkins plus remnants of their unshed pollen were ground in a mortar with a small amount of water in clear quartz sand. Northern Nut Growers Association Thirty-Fourth Annual Report 1943 Recently cut, these boughs yet bore their pretty catkins, and the leaves which had already started seemed inclined to persist in life and growth. Standish of Standish A story of the Pilgrims Winterkilling of catkins were recorded on the selections for several years. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Thirty-Eighth Annual Meeting Guelph, Ontario, September 3, 4, 5, 1947 The amount of pollen produced by the Reed variety has always been considered ample for cross-pollinating the Potomac, even though the former has been a light producer of catkins. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Forty-Second Annual Meeting Urbana, Illinois, August 28, 29 and 30, 1951 The catkins bloomed once more, and once more were rudely gathered. "Wee Tim'rous Beasties" Studies of Animal life and Character The catkins contain some substance which when added to the germination media inhibits pollen germination and causes abnormal types of germination. Northern Nut Growers Association Thirty-Fourth Annual Report 1943 There was not a cloud in all the sky, nor wind enough to stir the catkins hanging close over the waters of the creek. Shenac's Work at Home In early April the percentage of winter-killed catkins was recorded by estimate. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Thirty-Eighth Annual Meeting Guelph, Ontario, September 3, 4, 5, 1947 Also, growth of the tops of these trees was etiolated and spindly, and the shoots produced few or no catkins as compared with the abundant catkins produced by the unpruned trees. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Forty-Second Annual Meeting Urbana, Illinois, August 28, 29 and 30, 1951 It had hung its last remaining shoot with dancing catkins. "Wee Tim'rous Beasties" Studies of Animal life and Character These two bushes have borne only one crop of nuts, although they blossom freely, and the catkins are about as hardy as anything in the filbert line that I have seen. Northern Nut Growers Association Thirty-Fourth Annual Report 1943 The Japanese walnuts were, however, badly damaged by the late spring frost which froze off the catkins and new shoots. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Twenty-Fifth Annual Meeting Battle Creek, Michigan, September 10 and 11, 1934 Tables 2 to 5 contain the mean of these estimates and a considerable variation in catkin hardiness in the different populations is evident. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Thirty-Eighth Annual Meeting Guelph, Ontario, September 3, 4, 5, 1947 This cold weather, not only killed much of the tender short growth and pistillate flower possibilities, but destroyed many of the catkins. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Forty-Second Annual Meeting Urbana, Illinois, August 28, 29 and 30, 1951 Each evening she had seen her golden catkins studded with opals—the eyes of soft, furry, blundering moths. "Wee Tim'rous Beasties" Studies of Animal life and Character Evidently the staminate catkins necessary for pollen production are somewhat slower in appearing. Northern Nut Growers Association Thirty-Fourth Annual Report 1943 The filberts were quite generally damaged both in wood and catkins, except the Rush, which fruited heavily. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Twenty-Fifth Annual Meeting Battle Creek, Michigan, September 10 and 11, 1934 From Saddle River, Dr. Harold Blake reports that his black walnuts are doing well, but a late spring frost killed the catkins on the Cosford, Medium Long and Italian Red filberts. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Thirty-Eighth Annual Meeting Guelph, Ontario, September 3, 4, 5, 1947 Many of the catkins on the older plants were killed during the early cold spell, and the nut crop this year is very spotty. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Forty-Second Annual Meeting Urbana, Illinois, August 28, 29 and 30, 1951 "I shall send them to Mother, with some hazel catkins and some lovely moss." For the Sake of the School On the Scotch fir the young green cones are formed about the beginning of June, and then the catkin adjacent to the cone is completely covered with quantities of pale yellow farina. Round About a Great Estate Although winter temperatures were quite mild, catkins on the filberts and hazels were so badly injured that none bloomed on the filberts and very few on the Jones hybrids which had previously been hardy. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Twenty-Fifth Annual Meeting Battle Creek, Michigan, September 10 and 11, 1934 This explains why peach fruit buds and the catkins of the European filbert are often killed in the East during the winter. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Thirty-Eighth Annual Meeting Guelph, Ontario, September 3, 4, 5, 1947 Each year at the height of the flowering period, each tree in the experiment was rated on the catkins it carried. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Forty-Second Annual Meeting Urbana, Illinois, August 28, 29 and 30, 1951 Much crushed, Rona collected the peel, and, wrapping it carefully in her piece of sandwich-paper, put it in the very bottom of her basket, under a layer of catkins. For the Sake of the School These, with the catkins, form the first fall from tree and bush. Round About a Great Estate The staminate flowers or catkins of a few varieties are definitely hardier than peach flowers. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Twenty-Fifth Annual Meeting Battle Creek, Michigan, September 10 and 11, 1934 Mr. Gellatly states that their catkins survive much lower temperatures than that in the west. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Thirty-Eighth Annual Meeting Guelph, Ontario, September 3, 4, 5, 1947 So far, there has been no effect of the differential fertilizer treatments on the production of catkins. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Forty-Second Annual Meeting Urbana, Illinois, August 28, 29 and 30, 1951 Inflorescence.—Sterile flowers from the axils of the preceding year's leaves, consisting of globose clusters of stamens with spurred anthers: fertile catkins at ends of preceding year's branchlets, scales crimson. Handbook of the Trees of New England He utters it while busy on the catkins of the poplars, from which he seems to be extracting some kind of food. The Wit of a Duck and Other Papers Not a single peach blossom survived but three filberts bloomed with only slightly more than the usual amount of catkin killing. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Twenty-Fifth Annual Meeting Battle Creek, Michigan, September 10 and 11, 1934 It has had many staminate catkins for several years. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Thirty-Eighth Annual Meeting Guelph, Ontario, September 3, 4, 5, 1947 In 1950, only four of the 36 Reed trees produced catkins, whereas 32 of the 36 Potomac trees flowered, and approximately half of them were heavily loaded. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Forty-Second Annual Meeting Urbana, Illinois, August 28, 29 and 30, 1951 Sterile catkins 1-3 inches long, fertile at first about the same length, gradually elongating; bracts cut into several lanceolate or linear divisions, silky-hairy; stamens about 10; anthers red: ovary short-stalked; stigmas two, 2-lobed, red. Handbook of the Trees of New England The male flowers are produced in great numbers in drooping catkins at the ends of the branches, shedding the pollen in early spring before the leaves unfold. Elements of Structural and Systematic Botany For High Schools and Elementary College Courses Trees in the partially protected orchard fared somewhat better in regard to catkin injury than those in the more exposed orchard. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Twenty-Fifth Annual Meeting Battle Creek, Michigan, September 10 and 11, 1934 This nut is a mystery to me because the tree bore no catkins. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Thirty-Eighth Annual Meeting Guelph, Ontario, September 3, 4, 5, 1947 Catkin killing does not seem to be due to extreme cold during the winter and rarely are the catkins injured before late February or early March. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Twenty-Fourth Annual Meeting Downington, Pennsylvania, September 11 and 12, 1933 Fruit.—Fruiting catkins spreading or drooping, 4-5 inches long: capsules usually erect, ovoid, acute, shorter than or equaling the slender pedicels: seeds numerous, white-hairy. Handbook of the Trees of New England Work may be continued even after the catkins are out and the leaves half grown. Walnut Growing in Oregon That full exposure to the wind has much to do with winter killing of catkins is shown by the following. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Twenty-Fifth Annual Meeting Battle Creek, Michigan, September 10 and 11, 1934 The nuts hardly have time to ripen in our climate and a good many of the catkins get winter-killed. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Thirty-Eighth Annual Meeting Guelph, Ontario, September 3, 4, 5, 1947 The data on winter injury of catkins is being accumulated for two purposes. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Twenty-Fourth Annual Meeting Downington, Pennsylvania, September 11 and 12, 1933 Fruit.—Fruiting catkins drooping, 4-6 inches long: capsules ovoid, acute, longer than the pedicels, green: seeds numerous, hairy. Handbook of the Trees of New England Thus the staminate catkins sometimes fall before the pistillates form, and naturally there is no pollination and no crop. Walnut Growing in Oregon After the severe freeze of December 29 and 30 when -21° F. was experienced, catkins of several varieties were forced in the office. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Twenty-Fifth Annual Meeting Battle Creek, Michigan, September 10 and 11, 1934 I have a feeling that filberts would do better here if it were not for the very cold winds that blow off the lake in winter, killing most of the catkins. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Thirty-Eighth Annual Meeting Guelph, Ontario, September 3, 4, 5, 1947 The amount of winter killed catkins is determined by observation during the blooming season in late March. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Twenty-Fourth Annual Meeting Downington, Pennsylvania, September 11 and 12, 1933 Fruit.—Fruiting catkins somewhat declined: capsules ovate-conical, tomentose, stem two-thirds the length of the scale: seeds numerous. Handbook of the Trees of New England Some of the trees were covered with catkins, and others had already burst into green leaf; gorgeous yellow genistas clothed the hillsides, and the banks were dappled with blue borage and marigolds. The Jolliest School of All The importance of exposure to winds as a factor in causing catkin killing is further shown by a comparison of catkin killing in the two filbert orchards at Geneva. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Twenty-Fifth Annual Meeting Battle Creek, Michigan, September 10 and 11, 1934 It also matured another nut higher on the tree than we could reach with the catkins, but I'm sure it's a blank. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Thirty-Eighth Annual Meeting Guelph, Ontario, September 3, 4, 5, 1947 First, those varieties in which all, or practically all the catkins were killed. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Twenty-Fourth Annual Meeting Downington, Pennsylvania, September 11 and 12, 1933 Fruit.—Fertile catkins drooping: capsules ovate-conical, short-stemmed, minutely granular; style very short: seeds numerous. Handbook of the Trees of New England The plants themselves were growing beautifully, but most of the staminate blossoms or catkins were frozen, and, consequently, very little pollenizing was accomplished, and very little fruit the result. Northern Nut Growers Association, Report Of The Proceedings At The Tenth Annual Meeting. Battle Creek, Michigan, December 9 and 10, 1919 In the younger orchard which is exposed to the full sweep of the west wind not a catkin survived on any of the 66 varieties in that orchard. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Twenty-Fifth Annual Meeting Battle Creek, Michigan, September 10 and 11, 1934 Hardiness of catkin also varied greatly and rather consistently from year to year. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Thirty-Eighth Annual Meeting Guelph, Ontario, September 3, 4, 5, 1947 The second group includes those sorts in which 50 to 90 per cent of the catkins were killed. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Twenty-Fourth Annual Meeting Downington, Pennsylvania, September 11 and 12, 1933 Catkins appearing with the leaves, spreading, stalked,—sterile 1-2 inches long; stamens 2-4, usually 2; filaments distinct, pubescent below; ovary abortive: fertile catkins slender; stigma nearly sessile; capsule long-conical, smooth, short-stalked. Handbook of the Trees of New England Only the lower and more protected catkins came through the winter alright and caused what little pollenizing was done, hence the very light harvest in the fall of 1918. Northern Nut Growers Association, Report Of The Proceedings At The Tenth Annual Meeting. Battle Creek, Michigan, December 9 and 10, 1919 In the other older orchard which is protected on the west and north by buildings and spruce trees, sufficient catkins survived on three varieties to provide for proper pollination. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Twenty-Fifth Annual Meeting Battle Creek, Michigan, September 10 and 11, 1934 Red Lambert, which had the hardiest catkins of any variety of C. Avellana tried at Geneva, produced a higher proportion of catkin-hardy seedlings than any other variety. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Thirty-Eighth Annual Meeting Guelph, Ontario, September 3, 4, 5, 1947 In the fourth group are those with less than 20 per cent of catkin injury. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Twenty-Fourth Annual Meeting Downington, Pennsylvania, September 11 and 12, 1933 Fruit.—In terminal catkins made conspicuous by the pale green, much enlarged, and leaf-like 3-lobed bracts, each bract subtending a dark-colored, sessile, striate nutlet. Handbook of the Trees of New England It is one of the first shrubs to blossom, the staminate flowers hanging in slender, graceful yellowish-brown catkins, while the pistillate flowers are little points of purplish-red protruding from the buds. Northern Nut Growers Association, Report Of The Proceedings At The Tenth Annual Meeting. Battle Creek, Michigan, December 9 and 10, 1919 Wood injury, catkin injury, and pistil injury will be treated separately. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Twenty-Fifth Annual Meeting Battle Creek, Michigan, September 10 and 11, 1934 The flowers occur in long, hanging, inconspicuous spikes or catkins, of a brownish green colour. Herbal Simples Approved for Modern Uses of Cure Varieties from this group and the third group should be used as pollinators and as parents in breeding work to develop catkin hardy varieties. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Twenty-Fourth Annual Meeting Downington, Pennsylvania, September 11 and 12, 1933 Distinguished by its long purplish-yellow, pendulous catkins in spring, and in summer by its glossy, bright green, and abundant foliage, which becomes yellow in autumn. Handbook of the Trees of New England A small willow represents the great catkin family. The Andes and the Amazon Across the Continent of South America Catkin killing was very severe in both orchards and only those varieties which had a few live catkins are listed. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Twenty-Fifth Annual Meeting Battle Creek, Michigan, September 10 and 11, 1934 When cultivated it produces the female catkins, or strobiles which are so well known as Hops, and are so largely used for brewing purposes. Herbal Simples Approved for Modern Uses of Cure Satisfactory varieties must possess catkins hardy enough to provide sufficient pollen for pollination purposes. Northern Nut Growers Association Report of the Proceedings at the Twenty-Fourth Annual Meeting Downington, Pennsylvania, September 11 and 12, 1933 Fruit.—Fruiting catkins oblong or oblong-ovoid, about 1 inch long and two-thirds as thick, erect: nut oval to narrowly obovate, tapering at each end, pubescent on the upper part, about the width of its wing. Handbook of the Trees of New England And in my wake Frail wind-flowers quake, And the catkins promise fruit. Poems In Orchard 6 the catkin killing on five trees of Italian Red ranged from 20 to 50 percent and on six trees of Red Lambert from 10 to 20 percent.
