PECAN SIBLINGS 



Figure i6. The two nuts at the top of the picture are from the parent 

 tree, the original San Saba. The others are from eighteen seedling trees raised 

 from a single season's crop of the mother tree. Each reipresents the type of 

 the nuts of the tree from which it was taken, as all nuts from a single pecan 

 tree are remarkably alike. Only four of the seedlings were considered of suffi- 

 cient value to propagate and two were introduced as named varieties.
