Nut Trees The Linn County Nurseries 


NORTHERN PECANS 
Not generally dependable as nut producers north of Southern Iowa 
because they bloom so late in the Spring that there is not sufficient 
time before freezing for them to mature. 
MAJOR. Seems to mature the 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 nut resembles pecans in appearance, 
but partakes of the hickory flavor. 
BURLINGTON. Bears larger nuts than pecans, but is slow coming 
into bearing. 
HENKE. Bears young, smaller nut than Burlington, decidedly 
hickory flavored, shell thin, quality excellent. 
WAPELLO. We believe this nut will prove productive and young 
bearing. It comes from Eastern Iowa.

WINKLER HAZEL. This variety has been in very great demand and 
we are completely out for Spring. Winkler bushes grow quite com- 
pact and 6-7 feet high. The foliage is attractive and becomes scarlet 
and bronze in the fall, The nuts are the largest of the native Hazels,

CHINESE CHESTNUTS. Since the Chestnut Blight has practically 
destroyed the American Sweet Chestnut, the almost blight resistant 
Chinese Chestnut is taking its place as a nut producer, and generally the 
nuts are as good in quality, as large, and produce freely. Most of the 
trees are not as winter hardy as our native species and should be plant- 
ed in favored places in a climate like Central Iowa has. We have almost 
sold out for Spring so if you want some you will have to order early.

THE NORTHERN NUT GROWERWS’ ASSOCIATION is an organiza- 
tion of progressive people of many different vocations who are inter- 
terested in the advancement of nut culture. An annual report is pub- 
lished which contains the most up-to-date practical and scientific in- 
formation published on the subject and is well worth the $2.00 member- 
ship fee. All interested in nut trees should join. New members will 
receive both the report of the previous and current year. Memberships 
may be sent to D. C. Snyder, Treasurer, Center Point, Iowa.
