February, 1951 
In making count of stock the nursery foreman overlooked a few short 
rowe, with the result that we are delighted to announce that we have some 
of the following; 
1. \SHAGBARK (CARYA OVATA) - 
often called Shellbark in the eastern states. 
This hickory tree, named for its shaggy bark has nuts of delicious flavors 
Usually the shape of the nut causes you to get the kernel in small pieces. 
To gst around this difficulty the members of the Northern Nut Growers: Asso= 
ciation (Secretary, Je Co McDaniel, Department of Horticulture, University 
of Illinois, Urbana, Illinois) have searched the eastern United States and 
offered prizes to stimulate interest. They have found mother trees that 
give most of the kernels in eémplete halves, In addition to that they are 
pee ee trees for your yard ~ an ornamental that gives rare foods 
These good mother trees are a great find. They have proved themselves 
perfectly hardy from southern Minnesota to western North Carolina, If you 
are in the northern edge of wiid hickory land you can plant the Weschke / 
and be certain your climate will not hurt it + a beautiful tree, with good 
nuts every years. That's the record it has made in a wide range of placese 
The Lingenfelter ey others are also good and equally hardye 
2o KING NUT OR BIG. SHELLBARK (CARYA LACINIOSA ) 
Bea a ae "is widely distributed from 
New York, Michigan and Iowa to Oklahoma and as hardy as the shagbark, Like 
the Martack this is a fast growing, large tree that will make your place a 
landmark, The nut, which is shown in figure 18 of the book "Tree Crops,* is 
the largest of the hickories with a flavor that urges repeatse I wish that 
I had a pair of shagbarks and of shellbarks in my yard, 
Of course these trees are grafted and so far as known no other nursery 
is offering grafted King nut, It is better to have two varieties. If you 
order two, please leave the variety to us, Our stock of these is small; 
of King nut, very small. :
