S:r-Nut Trees 



Pecans, the Coming Food Crop 



The pecan as grown in the North is perfectly hardy and is found 

 growing throughout the Mississippi Valley and as far north as Wis- 

 consin. Michigan and Canada. Our hardy pecans are thin shell, 

 large size and very productive. Our pecans are budded and grafted. 

 Never plant seedlings because it takes them too long to come into 

 bearing, besides they are not reliable. The Northern pecan is the 

 coming nut for the millions and the millionaires. 

 ILLINOIS PECAN. Originated near Ware. Illinois. The parent 

 tree measures 6 feet in circumference, is 50 feet liigh. with a 30- 

 foot spread, and produced 528 pounds of nuts in 1920 which 

 brought readily 30c a poimd. wholesale. An acre of such pecans 

 is worth SSOO to $1,200 annually to the owners. The nuts are very 

 large, and a real paper shell, easy crackers, crisp and fine flavored. 

 Nuts in clusters of 5 to 6. weighing 45 to 50 nuts to the pound. 

 WALTON PECAN. Similar to the Illinois pecan, only the clusters 

 contain 4 to 5 and it takes about 55 nuts to a pound, but the 

 clusters are closer together and will produce more pounds to the 

 tree. 



MANTURA PECAN. Native of Virginia; tree very hardy, pro- 

 ductive, vigorous and begins to bear one year after planting. Meat 

 of medium size: paper shell, crisp and of fine javor. 

 INDIANA PECAN. Tliought to be a seedling of Busseron as the 

 tree is younger and located near the Busseron tree. The nut is 

 very large, shell soft, kernel full and of excellent Quality. Tree 

 is Ihe greatest bearer of any pecan tree we have ever seen, either 

 North or South, and very desirable for any purpose. .
