LOUISIANA SOFT SHELL PECANS 



This is a variety of nuts which only 

 grows South, and is a sure crop here. 

 Those who planted Orange trees twenty 

 years ago, lost most of their labor in 

 January, 1886, when seven -eighths of 

 trees were killed by the severity of the 

 weather. If Pecan trees had been 

 planted instead, they would have 

 brought a handsome income, and con- 

 tinued to increase every year in their 

 production, furnishing a aeyer failing 



crop for a whole century. The crop of 

 pecans from which I have been getting 

 my seed has failed, owing to the storm 

 of August, 1888, which broke off the 

 branches and mutilated the trees in such 

 manner, that they only grew new wood 

 this year, of which I expect a good crop 

 in 1890. Have some large pecans on 

 hand, soft shell ; but not so large as in 

 former years. 

 Price, 50c. per pound.
