Nut Trees The Linn County Nurseries 
about 70 ft. apart. They are wind pollinated and 2 or more varieties 
should be planted unless there is wild pollen produced near. 
Thomas is the best known variety and succeeds over a wide terri- 
tory. The tree grows rapidly and bears young. The nut is large, hulls 
out easily, and easily cracks out in halves and quarters. Sizes 3-4, 
4-5, 5-6, and 6-8 feet. 
Stambaugh is an Illinois variety and an excellent kind if not planted 
too far north. Sizes 4-5 and 5-6 feet. 
Rohwer originated in north central Iowa and is one of the hardier 
kinds. The nuts are large and excellent in quality. Sizes 3-4, 4-5, 
and 5-6 feet. 
Krause is a local variety. Excellent quality, and cracking quality, 
and an unusually good bearer. Sizes 3-4, 4-5, and 5-6 feet.

HICKORIES 
The hickories are the most difficult group of nut trees to propagate 
and transplant, but once well established are very persistent. We are 
listing only three varieties this season. All of the Shagbark group. 
Schinnerling. A good sized nut; ripens early, cracks easily, and 
has excellent quality. 2-3 ft. size only. 
Stratford. Bears smooth thin shelled nuts of excellent quality. 
Bears young and ripens early. 2-3 ft. trees. 
Hagen. Cracks out more than 40 per cent meats of unexcelled quali- 
ty. The fastest growing kind and slower coming into bearing. 2-3 ft. 
Trees: 
PECANS 
Not generally satisfactory as nut producers north of southern Iowa 
because they bloom so late in spring there is not sufficient time before 
freezing in the fall for them to mature. This is true of the most north- 
ern kinds. 
Major. Seems to mature earliest and alone is available this year.

HICANS 
Crosses of the hickory and pecan. They grow faster than hickories 
and make very beautiful trees. The nuts resemble pecans in appear- 
ance but partake of the hickory flavor. Burlington bears larger nuts 
than pecans but is not a young bearer. Wapello bears considerably 
smaller nuts and we believe will prove productive and young bearing.
