NEW VARIETIES 
Several new varieties of pecan and hybrids are now 
being tested out, some of which will, no doubt, prove 
worthy of propagation. 
We have a limited supply of the following new 
varieties: 
ROCKVILLE—This is a hybrid (cross between pecan 
and hickory). Parent tree near Rockville, Mo. Nut 
large, of good quality. Tree similar in growth to above 
varieties of hybrids. Price of this variety same as Mc¬ 
Callister and Burlington. 
GILES—A pure pecan of promise. Parent tree grows 
in Southeast Kansas. Tree located, named and intro¬ 
duced by myself. In the three successive years that I 
visited this tree it had splendid crops of nuts, also it is 
proving very satisfactory here. Nut is similar in size and 
shape to Indiana, with splendid kernel. Price of these 
trees same as other pecan trees. 
STEPHENS—A new variety from Kansas. Nut 
rather small but very thin shell, plump kernel of good 
quality. 
BLACK WALNUT 
The black walnut is found growing in many parts of 
the United States as a natural forest tree, and has always 
been considered so common that its true value as a food 
producing tree has been overlooked. 
On account of the high value of walnut lumber for 
special purposes, much of the walnut timber has been cut 
in the past few years, which has greatly reduced the 
supply of nuts. 
As the food value of walnuts is becoming better 
realized and the supply of nuts decreased, the price has 
greatly advanced. 
With power machinery now being manufactured, both 
for hulling and cracking walnuts, which greatly reduces 
the cost of getting- walnut kernels on the market, makes 
the future of growing these superior varieties a most 
promising industry. 
The black walnut kernel is one of the richest of all 
nut kernels, and said to be the only one retaining- its orig¬ 
inal flavor after being cooked. This nut has become very 
popular and is extensively used by bakers, candy makers 
and in ice cream parlors, as well as in the home.
