Of the nut-bearing American trees, 1 hickories nre perhaps the best known, being strictly North American trees, none now growing In any other part of the world. Of the 14 known spe- 1 cles one Is Mexican, the other 13 grow- 1 Ing east of the Itocky mountains. In- 1 dlann boasts of six species, qf which I the shnghark, or shellbark, is the most * noted, because of Its nuts and peculiar bark. 0 1 The wood of most of these species I is tough, strong and flexible, bat because of Its value for implements and fuel tho finest trees of our forests have been sacrificed, the crop of wild nuts decreasing as a consequence. The pecan Is the largest of our hickories, being a uatlve of the southern and southwestern counties of Indiana and growing to perfection in the rich, moist soils of river bottoms. The black walnut grows west from western Massachusetts to Minnesota. Its branches are stout and spreading, forming a round-topped tree when grown in the open. No Harmony.
