GARDEN MANUAL FOR THE SOUTHERN STATES. 
NELSON PECAN.—Nut the largest of all 
known; some specimens weighing nearly 
one ounce. Elliptical-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 intro- 
duced. Price $3.00 each. Limited supply. 
Sample of nut to show size on application. 
BOME 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. Quality good. Some complain 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. 
BUSSELL 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. 
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 abun- 
dantly; of rapid growth. Comes early into 
popular 
bearing. This is also a 
and 
standard variety. 
STECELER’S MAMMOTH PECAN.—Nut 
very large, elliptical-oblong in shape, 
round and full at stem end. Thin shell, 
full meated, quality best. A lately intro- 
duced variety of great merit. Price, $3.00 
each. 
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. 
145 
SUCCESS PECAN.—wNut 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. :

SPECIAL NOTICE. 
Our prices are low considering the grade 
of trees we sell. On comparing our trees 
with those grown crowded together in seed 
bed, without transplanting, 4 or 5 feet 
high—mere switches, drawn up; because of 
this condition, a large percentage of them 
die on being planted in the orchard. Our 
trees are all transplanted before budding, 
are given room to grow, making strong 
stocky trees, well rooted and in condition 
to bear transplanting in orchard without 
injury to the trees. They should all grow 
if properly planted. Our customers who 
have planted both grades of trees will en- 
dorse this statement.
