THE PECAN 
five pounds of pecans in 1914. The nut from 
which this tree grew was planted in 1880, near 
where was formerly a horse lot. This tree has 
now a diameter of 30 inches, an estimated height 
of 75 feet and a spread of branches of 80 feet. 
Mr. C. S. Parker, of Thomasville, Georgia, set 
ten acres in pecans in January, 1905, from wliich 
he gathered in 1913 two thousand six hiuidred 
and ninety pounds of nuts, which sold for 
$902.14. \Iy own Frotscher, .set in 1892, yielded 
an average income of one hundred dollars per 
year for five consecutive years. The above are 
not isolated cases but can be very largely added 
to if necessary. It is true that these trees are 
well cared for, but other trees can be looked 
after just as well. As emphasized in another 
place, the secret of successful and jirofitable 
pecan growing is GOOD CARE. 
NEXT to seeing the thing 
itself, a picture will give 
the best idea of anything. 
The accompanying pictures, all 
of which, with one exception, are 
of trees growing on my own 
grounds, are given for what they 
show and teach. 
There are suggestions here as to 
growing a tree or an orchard; 
but if cultural or other informa- 
tion is wanted, write for such. 
Should the reader want prices 
on trees, the same may be had 
for the asking. 
If one wishes to see my nursery 
of sixty acres, or my orchards 
aggregating one hundred and 
fifty acres, the "latch string 
hangs on the outside." Come, 
and welcome!
