Posey Indiana Niblack Butterick 
BUTTERICK. From near Grayville, Ill. The old Butterick tree is one 
of the “giants”, and has been bearing beyond the memory of the oldest in¬ 
habitants. 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 Butterick combines large size with a real paper-shell of high 
quality. 
GREENRIVER. Originated in Henderson County, Ky. The nut is 
medium size, shell thin; kernel full and plump and of the best quality. This 
variety bears good ciops here. 
INDIANA. From Knox County, 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. 
POSEY. From Gibson County, Indiana. One of the largest and finest 
pecans of this group. The nut is large and a real paper-shell. The cracking 
quality is the very best. The tree has very large foliage and is very orna¬ 
mental. 
BUSSERON. Supposed to be the parent of the Indiana pecan as the nuts 
are much alike as to size, shape and quality. The trees are growing not far 
apart. The Busseron is much the older and larger of the two trees. The 
old Busseron tree is said to be the greatest bearer of any of the pecan trees 
in the state of Indiana.
