ROME PECAN (Columbian). {Pridt 

 cf the Coast.) Nut very large, large and 

 round at stem end, gradually sloping off to 

 a point at the other. Thin shell. Upright 

 habit of growth, making a very large, tall 

 tree. Where it has a suitable location, a 

 desirable kind. Quality good. Some com- 

 plain that this variety does not always fill 

 well, but as this conclusion is based on 

 nuts from young trees just come into bear- 

 ing, this defect may be eliminated when 

 trees reach maturity. Parent tree is known 

 as the "Pride of the Coast" along the Mis- 

 sissippi Valley.
