DR. MORRIS: I don't know any but the witch hazel which blooms
in the fall; has a small yellow flower, but is not a true hazel. Catkins
form upon all hazels in the fall, but these do not really blossom until
springtime.

A MEMBER: I would like to ask if the Byzantine hazel is
attacked by blight as are the others?

DR. MORRIS: No; none of my trees have been attacked by blight
at all as yet.

W. C. REED: What method of budding do you find most successful?

DR. MORRIS: I have usually used the ring budding. It is not
very difficult.

PROFESSOR HEDRICK: Are there any East Asia hazels that thrive
in this country?

DR. MORRIS: There are specimens in the park here at Rochester
that you will see this afternoon.

PROFESSOR HEDRICK: Our experience with Asiatic hazels is very
satisfactory.

MR. MCGLENNON: A friend of mine here has some specimens that he
would like to present.

DR. SMITH: We will ask Mr. Vollertsen to describe the specimens
