Nut is very large, having a pecan shaped kernel which 
comes out in whole halves, with flavor of both pecan 
and hickory. This is the largest nut of the pecan- 
hickory species being propagated. 
BURLINGTON—Parent tree is near Burlington, 
Iowa. This is also a hybrid, as the McCallister, though 
the nut is not so large. Tree is said to be a regular 
and prolific bearer. Nut large, thin shell, quality of 
kernel good.

ROCKVILLE—This is a hybrid (cross between pecan 
and hiskory). Parent tree near Rockville, Mo. Nut 
large, of good quality. Tree similar in growth to above 
varieties of hybrids. 
BIXBY—-A hybrid of unknown parentage. This 
tree (in my nursery) supposedly grew from a bud 
taken from some scion wood sent me by Mr. Willard 
G. Bixby. Though when I showed him the nuts pro¬ 
duced by this tree he could not identify them or give 
me any information on parentage of this variety, stat¬ 
ing that he had never seen any nuts like them. As 
nothing could could be learned of its parentage I have, 
named it Bixby and listing it for the first time. Nut 
is large, thin shelled, good cracker, and tree promises 
to be a good bearer.

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 
original flavor after being cooked. This nut has be¬ 
come very popular and is extensively used by bakers, 
candy makers and in ice cream parlors, as well as in 
the home.
