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 uut 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 amoag 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 proi>er selection of varieties, extends from Virginia to Florida, thence west to Texas and 

 Oklahoma. As shade trees, they make handsome specimens a-nd they are well adapted for street, road 

 and yard planting,
