PECAN TREES 
BUSSERON One of the best Indiana varieties. Large, 
good quality, fine appearance. 
BUTTERICK Large, real paper-shell; kernel full, 
plump, excellent quality. Very vigorous 
and productive. Highly desirable for market or 
home use. 
GREENRIVER Medium size; kernel very plump and 
full, easily extracted and excellent 
quahty — one of the best for home use. 
INDIANA Large, shell soft, kernel full and very 
good quality. Exceptional bearer. First 
choice for commercial planting, 
NIBLACK Medium to large; shell thin; kernel very 
plump and excellent quality, and cracks 
out in perfect halves. Highly recommended for home 
use or market purposes. 
POSEY One of the largest and finest. A paper-shell; 
kernel very good quality and easily extracted. 
CHINQUAPIN 
BUSH HYBRID Hybrid of bush chinquapin and sweet chest; 
nut. Nut nearly as large as native chestnuts 
Better quality than any chestnut. A dwarfish tree and bear- 
quite young. 
Where the sweet cherry does well, the English Walnut 
will also succeed. The English Walnut does well in most parts 
Of sections 2 and 4 in the East, but on alluvial lands in the 
southern parts of Indiana and Illinois it often fails to do well. 
It grows well in the Ozarks at an elevation of 1.550 feet, but 
fails in the Central West, where excessive summer heat prevails. 
The Pecan is in bearing at Lincoln. Nebraska, and as far north 
as Charles City, Iowa. The Chestnut wants light, well-drained 
soil for best results. It is doing well at Charles City. Iowa, 
at Mountain Grove and at Olden in Missouri. 
ENGLISH OR PERSIAN 
WALNUT 
Plant only on land where apple or similar fruits 
succeed and where the climate is not too severe to 
grow and fruit the peach successfully. This applies 
only to budded or grafted walnut of known hardy 
and vigorous stocks. They bear early, but should not 
be allowed to bear heavily when very young; otherwise 
the trees will be dwarfed. 
FRANQUETTE French origin; large, attractive: 
kernel large, plump, very good 
quality. 
MAYETTE French origin; quite large and smooth, 
with large, plump kernel of excellent 
quality, considered the finest walnut. Bears very 
. young. 
RUSH Eastern origin. Medium to large; full kernel 
of good quality. The first Eastern variety to 
be propagated. 
AMERICAN BLACK 
WALNUT 
These trees need little or no attention and may be 
planted on rough land or along fences and ditches 
where it would not be practicable to plant trees re- 
quiring more attention. It is conservatively estimated 
that if one plants, say 1.000 trees of the improved 
varieties of the black walnut and gives them some 
attention until established, when in good bearing they 
will return an annual revenue of at least $10.00 per 
tree in "Nut Meats." (The Black Walnuts listed 
under ornamentals are grown from seed and are not 
recommended for plantinfj for nuts, aa they may not 
produce nuts of the best quality.) 
THOMAS Very large; large full kernel of excellent 
quality. Bears early and abundantly. 
OHIO (Origin. Ohio.) Medium size, thin shell, kernel 
full and of excellent quality. Cracks easily 
into halves. 
STABLER (Origin, Maryland.) A remarkable good nut 
of superb cracking quality. Dwarfish, 
stocky grower. Very ornamental. 
CHESTNUT 
DISTANCE FOR PLANTING 
Pecans and Black Walnuts 50 to 60 feet apart 
English Walnuts 40 to 50 feet apart 
Pecans. English and Black Walnuts do not need all thp 
space for 12 to 15 years, and fillers of smaller-growing fruit trees 
can be planted between them to good advantage; also any 
cultivated farm or garden crop. 
Planting instructions are sent with every shipment of nut 
trees. 
The Fuller and the Progress are the finest va- 
rieties ever originated. Both extra fine quality. Fuller 
is the largest. Should not be planted where the native 
wild chestnut trees are blighting.
