“ 153—SHAG-BARK HICKORY. Important lawn 
and forest tree, growing 50 to 75 feet tall, 
with straight columnar trunk. Its name is 
derived from the long, hard, plate-like strips 
which hang loose but attached to their up- 
per ends, giving the trunk of the maturing 
tree a decided shaggy appearance. Grown 
on the lawn, it develops a picturesque oval 
top, with clean handsome foliage, and per- 
mits a good sod clear to the trunk. The 
wood is hard and tough, very storm-resist- 
ing, and is highly valued commercially. It 
yields kerneled nuts of rich delicious flavor,
