Size is particularly desired with this species, but thinness of shell counts high.
PECAN (H. pecan).
Pecans sent for competition must be native nuts from New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio only, as these nuts are desired for northern horticulture.
OTHER HICKORIES.
Sometimes a tree of various other kinds of hickories will produce a very desirable nut; consequently first and second prizes are offered for any hickory nut not belonging to the above three kinds.
BLACK WALNUT (Juglans nigra).
Thin shelled black walnuts of good quality are desired.
BUTTERNUT, WHITE WALNUT (Juglans cinerea).
Size and thinness of shell are most important.
PERSIAN WALNUT, ENGLISH WALNUT (Juglans regia).
