View in my Pecan orchard here. Trees 5 to 7 years old. 
BUTTERICK. From near Grayvillc, Ill. The old Bultcrick 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 mealed and of very 
good quality. The tree is a very heavy bearer. One of the best pecans. 
MARQUARDT. The Marquardt is perhaps the finest variety of the 
pecan-shellbark hybrids and, originating in Iowa, the tree is very hardy. 
The tree is a very rapid grower and very ornamental, and will succeed under 
neglect where most trees would fail. The nut, which is large and long, 
resembles the pecan more closely and is thin shelled and a good cracker. 
The kernel is very large, plump and the blending of the pecan-hickory flavor 
gives it a distinct and very delightful flavor. 1 can recommend this variety 
very highly for general planting. 
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. 
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 
is the very best. The tree has very large foliage and is very ornamental.
