THE HICKORIES 
FAIRBANKS. Frcm east central Iowa. One of the best of the hybrid 
group. The bitternut hickory, one of the parents, is the most widely dis¬ 
tributed of all our hickories. It is found growing naturally from the St. 
Lawrence River on the north, to Florida on the South, and westward to North¬ 
eastern Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas. The pure shagbark one of the parent 
trees of this hybrid is strictly a northern species and does not grow very far 
south except along the mountain ranges. This hybrid should succeed well into 
the Cotton Belt at least, if not to the Gulf Coast. The Fairbanks has re¬ 
tained the fast growing and early bearing habit of the bitternut, and the 
good flavor of the shagbark. 
STANLEY SHELLBARK 
This is the big bottom shellbark or king nut. Originated near Carthage, 
Ind. The tree bears well and the large nuts crack better than any other of this 
class so far tested. The kernel is full and of very good quality.
