GRiFFING NURSERIES 
PECANS 
(Hicoria pecan) 
Governor Hogg of Texas selected this tree to 
mark his grave. 
Special Varieties of Pecans 
Special Griffing and Odom Varieties of Certified 
Pecan Trees, certified by Texas Dept, of Agriculture. 
These four varieties have special outstanding ad¬ 
vantages over other Paper Shell Pecans as they have 
proven to be scabproof, uniform, regular bearers. 
If you want the best results, it is . nperative that 
you fertilize, spray, and cultivate jour trees well. 
On good land. Pecans should be planted 60x60 ft., 
or 12 trees per acre; on thin land, 50x50 ft. or 18 
trees per acre. 
For experience we find t best to plant as many 
as 4 varieties in each orchard. Each gets the bene¬ 
fit of pollinization of other varieties. Also, should 
one variety fail to bear, the crop will not be cut off 
entirely in any one year. 
BRADLEY Originated by Griffing Bros. A Prize 
Winner. Very rich. Shell thin. Bears early 
and very prolific. Tl. 
BIG “Z" Originated by Mr. Zink of Miss., but 
Griffings are exclusive propagators. Average 38 
to 40 lb. Thin shell; fine appearance. Kernel rich, 
crisp, fine flavor. Prolific. T2. 
ODOM Originated by R. L. Odom, Jasper, Texas. 
Extra thin shell. Kernel light, crisp and very 
rich. Excellent flavor. 
Trees should be planted at a distance of 45x60 
feet apart, requiring 18 trees per acre. At this dis¬ 
tance other crops may be successfully and profitably 
cultivated between the rows of pecans without detri¬ 
ment or injury to the trees. The cultivation of 
other crops actually benefits the pecan trees and 
reduces the expense of upkeep to a minimum. We 
recommend the cultivation of corn, cotton and 
vegetable crops between the rows.
