BUTTERICK. From near Grayville, Ill. The old Buttcrick tree is one of 
the “giants,” and has been bearing beyond the memory of the oldest inhabi¬ 
tants. The nut is one of the largest of the Indiana group and a real paper-shell 
of excellent quality. The original tree is a heavy and regular bearer. The But- 
terick combines large size, with a real paper-shell nut of high quality, and a 
rapid growing tree that bears very early, and is perhaps the best all round 
pecan of the Indiana group. 
GREENRIVER. Originated in Henderson Co., Ky. The nut is medium 
size; shell thin; kernel full and plump and of the best quality. 
INDIANA. From Knox Co., Ind. One of the largest of the Indiana 
pecans and one of the best. The nut is thin shelled, full meated and of very 
good quality. The tree is a very heavy bearer. One of the best pecans. 
MARQUARDT. Named and introduced by me. The Marquardt I con¬ 
sider a very remarkable pecan to have originated so far north. Coining from 
20 miles north of Burlington; Iowa, and 200 miles north of where the Indiana 
varieties originated, the Marquardt should not only be hardy in tree but mature 
its fruit well in the Lake region or similar latitudes where the success of the 
Indiana sorts is questionable. The nut is as large as the Indiana varieties; with 
a thin shell, and full kernel of excellent quality. If one has any doubts about 
the pecans of the Indiana group maturing their fruit with them this is the 
variety to plant. 
NIBLACK. Originated in Knox Co., Ind. Named for Hon. Mason J. 
Niblack, Vincennes, Ind. Nut medium to large; shell very thin; kernel full and 
plump and of the very best quality. Cracking quality the very best. One of 
the most desirable of the Indiana group and it is believed it will do well farther 
north than any other of this group. 
POSEY. From Gibson Co., Ind. One of the largest and finest pecans of 
this group. The nut is very large and a real paper-shell. The cracking quality
