BOWIE, MARYLAND 



N I BLACK 



This nut, like the Greenriver, is one of the 

 smaller of the northern varieties but one 

 of the very finest. The tree grows upright 

 and the foliage somewhat resembles the 

 hickory. The nut itself has some of that 

 fine, delicate hickory flavor and the kernels 

 come out in whole halves. 



Posey 

 This is one of the largest of the northern 

 varieties, and is one of the best cracking 

 pecans grown in the United States. It is 

 possible to get out almost a hundred per 

 cent whole halves. The tree has beautiful 

 foliage, and is a rapid grower. This prom- 

 ises to become one of the best commercial 

 varieties. 



Indiana 

 The Indiana tree grows a few hundred 

 yards from the Busseron and is probably a 

 seedling of it. The nuts resemble the 

 Busseron so closely they can hardly be 

 distinguished. This variety has been heav- 

 ily propagated and was one of the first 

 put on the market. 



Busseron 



Mason J. Niblack says the parent tree has 

 the best bearing^ record of any tree he 

 knows. The nut is large, thin-shelled and 

 of high quality. The young trees are rapid 

 growers and make long spreading branches.
