necessary to exaggerate the returns in 
the smallest degree. 
As an inducement to start with some- 
thing exceptionally fine, we offer with 
every order of 50 Pecan trees, one of 
Steckler’s Mammoth and Nelson’s Mam- 
moth, and in lots of 100, two of each. 
Centennial Pecan. 
Nut large, long, pointed at both ends. 
Shell thin. Kernel plump rich and sweet. 
Quality best. Abundant annual bearer. 
Habit of growth, willowy forming a 
thick, round-headed tree. Original was 
grafted more than 60 years ago. Has 
been long known as one of the very best 
sorts. 
Frotscher’s (Egg Shell) Pecan. 
Nut large, oblong, ovoid in shape, very 
thin shell. Kernel plump, full. Quality 
best. Abundant annual bearer. A rapid 
erower. Comes into bearing very young. 
Habit of growth somewhat like Centen- 
nial, not quite so dense, forming a fine 
round-headed tree. This is justly a very 
popular variety. 
Stuart Pecan. 
Nut large, thin shell, ovoid in shape, 
full meated. Quality best. Abundant 
bearer, of rapid growth. <A _ standard 
variety, of established merit and popular. 
Rome Pecan. 
(Columbian.) (Pride of the Coast.) 
(Twentieth Century.) 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. Quali- 
ty good. Some complain that this variety 
does not always fill well, but as this con- 
clusion is based on nuts from young trees 
just come into bearing, this defect may 
be eliminated when trees reach maturity. 
Parent tree is known as the “Pride of 
the Coast” along the Mississippi Valley. 
Nelson Pecan. 
Nut the largest of all known; some 
specimens weighing nearly one ounce. 
Wiliptical-oblong in shape. Medium thin 
shell, clean, bright in color. Kernel 
plump, sweet and rich. Quality very 
best. A quick grower. Early bearer, 
very prolific. Habit of growth like the 
Frotscher, forming a round-headed tree. 
This is surely the finest pecan tree in- 
troduced. Price, $2.50 each; $24.00 per 
dozen.

A lately 
Price, 
shell, full meated, quality best. 
introduced variety of great merit. 
$2.50 each; $24.00 per dozen. 
Schley Pecan. 
Nut medium in size. Oblong-ovoid in 
shape. Smooth, clean and bright in color. 
Very thin shell. Kernel very plump, 
sweet and rich. Bears abundantly; of 
rapid growth. Comes early into bearing. 
This is also a popular and standard vari- 
ety. 
Russell Pecan. 
Originated in Lower Mississippi. Is a 
very fine paper-shell nut and the tree is 
a regular and abundant bearer, but as it 
continues in growth very late in the 
season it is not advisable to plant this 
variety except in the lower South. 
Success Pecan. 
Nut large and round with medium thin 
shell. Does not appear as large as the 
Rome, Nelson or Steckler, but very full 
and containing a larger quantity of meat 
than any other pecan on the market. The 
shell is easily cracked and the whole 
kernel removed without breaking. The 
tree is a very quick and vigorous grower. 
We consider it one of the finest varieties.
