PECANS — A REAL MONEY CROP. 



The Pecan has become a very important nut, particularly in the Southern States, 

 and it may be said that there is no other fruit or nut tree which fits so well into the 

 general farming of this region as the Pecan. Cotton, corn, cowpeas and other farm 

 crops can be sown to advantage among the trees when thej'' are young, and even until 

 the trees have begun to bear well. In short, the land may be farmed almost as though 

 the trees had not been planted on it, yet the trees under this management will grow 

 and do well. The region in which the Pecan may be grown, with a proper selection of 

 varieties, extends from Virginia to Florida, thence west into Texas and Oklahoma. As 

 shade trees they make handsome specimens, and they are well adapted for street, road 

 and yard planting.
