6 MICHIGAN NUT NURSERY 
BUTTERNUT — That good old fashioned long nut is going to be a 
thing of the past unless people take the situation to ‘heart and plant more 
young trees. Little has been done iin tthe past in the way of propagating 
this nut as good cracking varieties have been very scarce. We have started 
propagating a discovery of our own and believe it to the best butternut we 
have yet seen. 
\ LOVE BUTTERNUT — A favorite butternut variety of Mr. C. A. Reed 
of the U. S. Dept. Agr. at Beltsville, Mo. Originating in Michigan the 
Love was an outstanding entry at the 1934 meeting of the Northern Nw. 
Growers Association at Batitle Creek. Early bearing, good cracking, and 
fine flavor are the main characteristics of the Love butternut. 
“CRAX-EZY BUTTERNUT — Or- 
iginated here at Union City, Michigan. 
Mother tree was old and about tc die 
when discovered by us. Tree at one 
time was a large vigorous grower. The 
few live limbs were loaded with nuts 
every fall. Nut is medium length; shell 
is thin and may be cracked witha 
knife point in many cases. Meats come 
out easily in whole halves. Note 
illustration.

~ KINNYGLEN BUTTERNUT — This fine butternut came from around 
lithaca, N. Y. The Kinnyglen nuts range in size about the same as 
Craxezy. From four to six nuts to a cluster and beginning to bear for me 
in two or three years, that is when left in the nursery. The kernels may 
be itaken from this butternut in halves and twin halves. A full flavored 
butternut. Note — All my butternut varieties are grafted on black walnut 
roots which makes them faster growers and blight resistant. 
BLIGHT RESISTANT CHINESE CHESTNUT TREES — They are one 
of the most showy nut frees. Being fast growers they are ideal for lawns 
and back-yards. You may look for crops of those large sweet chestnuts in 
3 or 4 years. Two trees of these must be planted for pollination. There is 
a heavy demand for nuts of the C. chestnut right now for planting and 
eating so be sure to set out a few trees. 
« McCALLISTER HICAN — A 
cross between the pecan ane 
the hickory. Note illustration. 
Tree is a very rapid grower. 
Fully as hardy asa native 
hickory. Trees have large, 
thick, dark green foliage and 
smooth, lght bark which 
makes them well suited for 
ornamental planting. The ex- 
ceptionally large nuts crack 
easily and yield good flavored 
kernels possessing much of the 
hickory flavor. 
HARDY NORTHERN PECANS — Have a few grafted trees of Major.
