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 land may be farmed 

 almost as though the trees had not been 

 planted on it, yet the trees under this man- 

 agement 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.
