(^hase.—Tliis originated in a tree near Wiiittier and lias been widely propagated by Mr. Hideout of Whittier, This original Chase nut is medium to large size on young trees, but small on older trees. In form it is broadly oval or rounded; apex and base of equal breadth, apex terminating in a short and pronounced point. Surface is quite smooth, nut not so very uniform. They are badly sealed, the meat is plump and well filled, averaging nearly .^0 per cent of total weight. Flavor is mild. This tree conies out earlier than the average Santa Barbara seedling. The growth is very vigorous and thrifty and the foliage abundant. The nuts are harvested early and is a very heavy bearer, but is somewhat subject to blight. It is a good t> pe of the Santa Barbara soft shells except that the nuts are small. Kl Monte.—A Santa Barbara soft- shell seedling which originated near El Monte, (California.

The tree is a thrifty grower, conies out early in the spring, about the same time as the other Santa Bar- bara seedlings, and harvests early. Its blight resistance is about the same as the other Santa Barbara seedlings. It is desirable on account of bearing early and heavily, but the nut is (piite homely.
