 thin shell. Kernel plump, full. Quality

 round-headed tree. Original was grafted

sirable 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 

 bearing, this defect may be eliminated 

 when trees reach maturity. Parent tree 

 is known as the "Pride of the Coast' 

 along the Mississippi Valley.

 specimens weighing nearly one ounce.

Russell Pecan. 



Originated in Lower Mississippi. Is a

 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.
