McCallister — Parent tree near Mount Vernon, Ind. A pecan x 

 shellbark hybrid. The largest pecan nut known. The parent tree some 

 years ago was badly injured by fire but has now to quite an extent 

 recovered and apparently will bear well again. The tree has been 

 planted to quite an extent in the South where it bears scarcely at all 

 but it is not believed that the behavior in the South is to be expected 

 in the North for it is known that some hickories require the cold of a 

 northern winter to grow well and the McCallister may require this to 

 bear well. 



Niblack — Parent tree near Vincennes, Ind. Said to be annual 

 bearer and heavy cropper.
