NUT TREES. 
Pecans. 
The Pecan has become a very important nut, particularly in the Southern States 
and it may be said that there is no other fruit or nut tree which fits so well into. the 
general farming-of this region as the Pecan. 
Cotton, corn, cowpeas and other farm 
crops can be grown to advantage among the trees when they are young, and even until 
the trees have begun to bear well. 
In short, the Jand may be farmed almost as though 
the trees had not been planted on it, yet the trees under this management will grow 
and do well. 
The region in which the Pecan may be grown, with a proper selection of 
varieties, extends from Virginia to Florida, thence west into Texas and Oklahoma. AS 
shade trees they make handsome specimens, and they are well adapted for street, road 
and yard planting.
