Pleas Hican Chinese Chestnut 

HICANS 
Hicans are a natural hybrid between the hickories and northern varieties of pecans. ‘The 
trees give the appearance of a smooth-barked hickory and are excellent for roadside or lawn. 
Adaptable to planting on a wide range of soils. 
MARQUARDT HICAN. ‘Tree grows rapidly. Variety from Burlington, Iowa. ‘This 
is a hardy variety, but for crop production requires the same number of hot summer days 
as pecans do to mature a crop. (See page 9 in our current catalogue. ) 
PLEAS HICAN. This is a very thin-shelled nut. ‘Tree graceful with dark green foliage. 
We also have BIXBY and McALLISTER hicans in limited quantity this season. 
HICKORIES 
Hickory trees can be successfully planted on a wide range of soils. They require a fertile 
soil and should not be planted on soils of low fertility unless they can be built up with 
chemical and organic fertilizer materials. 
FAIRBANKS HICKORY. A cross between the shagbark and bitternut. ‘This is a fast- 
growing, early-bearing hybrid. 
STANLEY SHELLBARK. A big-bottom shellbark or king nut. 
PECANS 
NORTHERN PECANS. The varieties we are growing, Indiana, Busseron, Posey and 
Greenriver, can be grown under about the same conditions and climatic requirements. 
Pecan trees are hardy much farther north than nut crops may be expected to mature. The 
varieties listed as “northern” do extend the pecan planting belt farther north than southern 
varieties can be expected to mature crops.
