Because the nuts are so rich in required food-elements and so palatable, the Pecan has become an essential part of fruit 
orchards for home use throughout the South. In addition, large numbers of commercial plantings have been made, and these 
are increasing yearly. Suitable situations are found throughout this whole region for the culture of Pecans, and no home 
should be without at least a few good sorts of Pecan trees. They are economical to produce, costing the family very much less 
than meats and many other of its food materials. The varieties of Pecans we list are well tried and favorably known. The 
trees are vigorous and well grown.

growing tree with many long branches and

THE PECAN AND ITS CULTURE -By H. HAROLD HUME 
Pecans are rapidly becoming one of the most important orchard trees in the South. In fact, for general planting 
they are entitled to first place because of their peculiar adaptability to many conditions and locations. The merits of 
this valuable nut are being recognized as never before, and the crop has gained a firm place in the markets of the country. 
To supply reliable information on Pecan-growing, this up-to-date work, touching every cultural detail, has been pre¬ 
pared after many years’ careful study of the industry. The book is thoroughly practical and contains the information 
needed by every grower of Pecans. Third edition, 195 pages, cloth-bound; price $2, postpaid. 
Pecan trees succeed on 
various soils—sandy loam, 
light clay, or sand and clay 
are suitable. Low, wet land 
should be avoided unless it 
can be well drained; Pecans 
need moisture li e all trees, 
but they detest “wet feet.” 
If the soil is lacking in humus, 
or vegetable matter, grow a 
crop of < owpeas or velvet 
beans; after the vines are 
dead, plow them under and 
harrow the soil thoroughly. 
Curtis Frotscher Schley 
Space the trees 40 to 50 
feet each way, to allow for 
full maturity. This will re¬ 
quire about twenty-five trees 
to the acre. Begin cultivat¬ 
ing in early spring before the 
growth starts, and keep it up 
at intervals of about 10 days 
until early July. For the first 
six or eight years the space 
between the trees may be 
used for other crops, but 
later the trees will need all 
the space.
