HICANS,. 
| Hicans are hybrids, the results of crosses of other species of 
hickory with the pecan, “hey make pretty trees and thus have consid- 
erable ornamental value. “ut while the nuts are of delicious flavor, 
they are not as a class, very good bearers and most varieties do not 
fill very well. Also the varieties now being grown are probably too 
late for far northern planting. We have several varieties but they 
have not fruited yet so we cannot judge how they will be hcere,But 
we have hed several requests for hican trees, so last year we grafted 
some of them, We now have only some two year old grafts of Burlington 
left.+hese are priced the same as the other hickories,
