HICKORIES, PECANS, and HICCANS 
The hickory is the nut called by epicures the .world’s finest nut. Usually the meat is difficult 
to get from the shell. The grafted hickories are selected as nuts that come from the shell easily. 
Some come out in halves almost as easily as the English walnut. The hickory is also one of 
America’s finest native trees as an ornamental. It grows tall and stately.
