Nut Trees 
The Linn County Nurseries 
be scarce for a long time. A very few trees of several varieties not listed are 
available in small numbers. 
Beaver, Bestall, and Fairbanks are rapid growing, young bearing, and very 
productive hybrids of the bitternut and shagbark. The nuts are large, attractive, 
thin shelled, and good. When first tasted, one notices a slight bitternes;s. This 
disappears in baking, or as more are eaten raw. 
Stratford is one of the earliest and heaviest bearing shagbarks. The smooth, 
white, thin shelled nuts crack very easily and have splendid quality. 
Manahan, Vest, and Hand are similar shagbarks, all with very thin, ridged 
shelled nuts of very fine quality. 
Hagen is our most rapid growing pure shagbark. The nuts are large, and 
crack out over 40% of meats, mostly in halves, and are unexcelled in richness 
and flavor. 
A very few trees are available of Dennis, Shaul, Lingenfelter, etc. 
Des Moines and Burlington Hiccans, and the Northern Pecans are practically 
all sold for the spring of 1935. They should be available again in the fall.
