11,500 to acre, 3 1-2 feet rows. 



14,000 to acre, 3 foot rows. 



•12,000 to acre is the average number in 

 this vicinity. 



Where 11.000 plants are put on an acre 

 they are more_ easily cultivated with a 

 horse, and the fruit is likely to be larger.

 -weeks before the earliest of the old field 

 berries. Is not a Dewberry but a regular 

 bush. Strong one year old plants, 15c each,

 well drained soil ; the lighter loams are best for 

 the red and^ihe heavy loams for blacken ps. To 

 make a success of Raspberries the larjd should 

 be able to withstand drought well. 15c. each,

PECANS— It is now an established fact, 

 admitted by all that liave given any at- 

 tention to the- subject that Pecan trees 

 are by fai the most profitable of all fruit 

 trees 'to plant. As a proof of this we call 

 to your notice the fact that we usually 

 ■paid $183 for the crop of one tree. Those 

 who planted some of our budded trees 10 

 to 12 years ago are now getting returns 

 of from $5.00 to $10.00 per tree annually. 

 These returns will regularly increase as 

 the years go by. 



To tttain these results the best varieties 

 should be planted. 



Those who contemplate planting must 

 be sure they are planting the right kinds. 

 Irresponsible agents have been selling 

 what they represent to be ex + ra fine varie- 

 ties, which after years of waiting prove 

 to be worthless, being mostb.- wild seed- 

 lings dug up in the woods and swamps.
