STAMBAUGH BLACK WALNUT 
This variety originated near Galesville, Illinois, 40° &’ N. Lat. 
It was awarded first prize in the Northern Nut Growers Contest of 1926. 
There is no doubt, Stambaugh is one of the best black walnuts, but it 
is too late for our latitude. We have had only two years in which it has 
matured its nuts properly here, these years it was very fine. It should 
not be planted where the growing season 1s less than 180 days in normal 
years. Probably should not be planted north of N. Lat. 40° and not 
there at high elevations. 
Tree is vigorous and quite hardy here. Nuts ripen here the middle 
to late October in normal years; this means that frost usually gets them 
here.
