Center Point, Iowa Nut Trees 
NUT TREES 
Propagation of grated nut trees was resumed in the Spring of 1946 
and a limited number of black Walnuts are now available. We have a 
good supply of hickory, pecan and Hicans, but are already sold out of 
Winkler Hazel for Spring and almost sold out on Chinese Chestnuts. 
Propagation of grafted nut trees requires much more skill than most 
other trees and most of them must be hand dug because of their deep 
root system. In transplanting the top should be cut back heavily other- 
wise failure is likely to be the result. 
BLACK WALNUTS 
Black Walnuts want deep rich soil and in it grow very rapidly when 
established. For orchard planting they should be widely spaced, about 
70 feet apart. They are wind pollenated and two or more varieties 
should be planted unless there is wild pollen produced near. We just 
have two varieties to offer this year. 
THOMAS is the best known variety and succeeds over a wide ter- 
ritory. The tree grows rapidly and bears young. The nut is large, hulls 
out easily, and easily cracks out in halves and quarters. 
KRAUSE is a local variety. Excellent quality, an excellent crack- 
er, and an unusually good bearer. A very heavy producer of pollen.

HICKORIES 
The hickories are the most difficult group of nut trees to propagate 
and transplant, but once well established are very persistent. They will 
do well on any soil providing it has good drainage. All the hickories 
listed are of the shagbark group. 
ANTHONY NO. 2. An Illinois nut worthy of trial. 
SCHINNERLING. A good sized nut; ripens early, cracks easily, 
and has excellent quality. 
STRATFORD. Bears smooth thin shelled nuts of excellent quality. 
Bears young and ripens early. 
HAGEN. Cracks out more than 40 per cent meats of unexcelled 
quality. The fastest growing kind and slower coming into bearing. 
WILCOX. An excellent cracker and good sized nut from Ohio. With 
us it comes into bearing the bearing the youngest of the hickories.
