Budded Pecan Trees, Season of 1915-1916 
WENTY-EIGHT years' experience with the pecan 
has convinced me more and more of its profitable- 
[j^^l ness. The demand for the best nuts is constantly 
increasing. Trees from fifteen to two hundred years 
old are annually producing their crops of nuts to the delight 
both of the palate and pocketbooks of their owners. A 
grove once established, a pound of pecans can be grown 
more cheaply than a pound of cotton; and the grower has 
twelve months of the year in which to sell them, and the 
world for his market. 
But if success is to come to the pecan grower, there are 
certain precautions that must be observed: (i) Strong and 
vigorous budded trees should be set of such varieties as are 
adapted to the section where they are to be grown. Avoid 
stunted trees, for a runt in the nursery will remain a dwarf 
in the grove. (2) Set trees only on the best land. (3) Culti- 
vate, fertilize and care for them in the best manner. These 
are the three most important requisites to successful pecan 
growing either on a small or large scale. Observe them and 
you will not be disappointed.
