VARIETIES 
T am testing- about forty of the most promising varieties of 
pecans. The following I consider among the best of these: 
FROTSCIIER. This is my favorite, because several years' 
experience with it has shown that, in most of the qualities that 
go to make up a desirable pecan, both in nut and tree, it stands 
unsurpassed. 
STUART is an old favorite that has been widely tested. This 
is a safe variety to plant. 
SCHLEY is placed by some at the head of the list. It is a 
large, thin-shelled nut. and is well filled with meat. 
VANDEMAN has also been widely planted, and with many 
growers it stands at or near the head of the list. 
More trees of the above four varieties have been set than anv 
others that are grown. 
SUCCESS is a new candidate for favor. Originating in Mis- 
sissippi, it has been widely disseminated during the last four 
years. The nut is quite large. I have fruited it here for two 
seasons, and consider it very jjromising. 
DEr,M.\S is a large nut and a very early and prolific bearer. 
.\ close observer has said of it that he believes that it will make 
more money for its owner than any other variety for the first 
fi fteen vears after it is set.
