W RXT Y-THREE }ears experience witli the 
pecan has convinced me more and more of its 
profitableness. The demand for the l>est inits is 
constantly increasing. Trees from fifteen to two 
hundred years old are annually producing their 
crops of nuts to the delight both of the ])alate 
and pocketbooks of their owners. A grove once established, a 
])oinid of pecans can be grown more cheaply than a pound of 
cotton ; and the grow'er has twelve months of the year in which 
to sell them, and the world for his market. Over-production 
need not be feared in this generation nor during this century. 
But if success is to come to the pecan grower, there are cer- 
tain precaution:; that must be observed: (1) Budded or grafted 
trees should be set of such varieties as are suited to the locality 
where they are to be grown. Life is too short to experiment 
with seedlings. (2) The strongest and mo.st vigorous trees 
are chea])cst in the end. A runt in the nursery will remain a 
dwarf in the grove. (3) Trees should be set on good ground, 
and carefully cultivated until they become well established. There 
arc minor directions to be observed : but if the above are carefully 
followed, no great mistake will be made.
