SHELL-BAEK HICKORY. SHAG-BARK HICKORY. 



Valley of the Saint Lawrence river, along the northern shores of lakes Ontario and Erie to southern Michigan 

 and sontheastern Minnesota, south to the Chattahoochee region of western Florida, central Alabama and 

 Mississippi, and west to eastern Kansas, the Indian territory, and eastern Texas. 



A large tree of the first economic value, 24 to 30 or, exceptionally, 39 to 45 meters in height {Ridgicay), with 

 a trunk 0.90 to 1.20 meter in diameter; rich hillsides and sandy ridges; common and reaching its greatest 

 development west of the Alleghany mountains; varying greatly in the size and shape of the fruit. A form with 

 small, thin-shelled nuts {C. microcarpa, Nuttall I. c.) is not rare from Delaware southward, and in Michigan. 



Wood heavy, very hard and strong, tough, close-grained, compact, flexible; layers of annual growth clearly 

 marked with one to three rows of large open ducts; medullary rays numerous, thin; color, brown, the thin and 

 more valuable sap-wood nearly white; specific gravity, 0.8372; ash, 0.73; largely used in the manufacture of 

 agricultural implements, carriages, ax handles, baskets, etc. 



The sweet and edible nuts afford an important article of commerce.
