KRAUSE BLACK WALNUT 
The original tree of this variety grows near Toddville, lowa, at 42° 5’ 
N. Lat. It won second prize in the Iowa Nut Growers Contest of 1942 
and again in 1946. It was first discovered in 1940. 
Kated as follows: 19 nuts per pound, 27 per cent kernel, score 97.40. 
Our grafts of this variety have now begun to bear and the nuts are 
so outstanding that we have started propagating it for sale. 
Tree—vigorous, very hardy. Nuts ripen here the first week in Oc- 
tober in normal years, which makes it one of the early black walnut 
varieties.
