MICHIGAN NUT NURSERY 
BUTTERICK: Originated near Grayville, Ill. 
Crop record of mother tree is proof that this 
variety will be one of the best for commercial 
plantings in the north. Nut is large. Shell thin. 
Kernels come out freely and are usually plump, 
even brown and very good quality. A safe va¬ 
riety for the north. 
MAJOR: Originated in Ken¬ 
tucky. Original tree is large 
and a prolific and annual bear¬ 
er. Nuts are medium in size. 
Very good cracking quality. 
Kernels are nice and even 
brown. Thin shell. 
BUSSERON: The mother tree of this variety is also known, as being a heavy 
bearer. Tree is hardy here. This variety should find a place in every north¬ 
ern planting. Nut is somewhat longer than the Butterick. Kernel smooth 
brown; of good flavor and comes out of shell freely. As good a quality as 
found in any southern pecan. 
McCALLISTER HICAN: A 
cross between the pecan and 
the hickory. Note Illustration. 
Tree is a very rapid grower. 
Fully as hardy as a native 
hickory. Trees have large, 
thick, dark green foliage and 
smooth, light bark which makes 
them well suited for ornamental 
planting. The exceptinally large 
nuts crack easily and yield good 
flavored kernels possessing much 
of the hickory flavor. 
BUTTERNUT: That good old fashioned long nut is going to be a thing 
of the past unless people take the situation to heart and plant more young 
trees. Little has been done in the past in the way of propagating this nut as 
good cracking varieties have been very scarce. We have started propagation, 
a discovery of our own and believe it to be the best butternut we have yet 
seen. Do not order until you find our prices quoted on these in our price list. 
CRAX-EZY BUTTERNUT: Originated 
here at Union City, Michigan. Mother 
tree was old and about to die when dis¬ 
covered by us. Tree at one time was a 
large virgorous grower. The few live 
limbs were loaded with nuts every fall. 
Nut is medium length; shell is thin and 
may be cracked with a knife point in 
many cases. Meats come out easily in 
whole halves. Note illustration.
