751 — 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, Cow Peas and other farm crops can be sown to advantage among the trees when they are young and even 

 until the trees have begun to bear well. The region in which the Pecans may be grown with a proper selection 

 of varieties, extends from Virginia to Florida, thence west to Texas and Oklahoma. As shade trees, they make 

 handsome specimens and they are well adapted for street, road and yard planting.
