PECANS 
We were one of the first to point out the value of 
this nut tree for California and it has definitely 
shown itself to be a profitable commercial crop in 
the interior valleys of California and in Arizona. It 
does best in a deep, sandy loam. The trees are hardy 
everywhere in California but will not mature its nuts 
well, above the level of the valley. Are resistant to 
the hottest weather found in the state, and thrive in 
arid districts but require plenty of irrigation. 
The varieties we list are Western Texas varieties 
which are adapted to our arid climate, and all of 
them have been successful here. Of this group, only 
Halbert and Success are self-fertile and can be de¬ 
pended upon to bear when planted by themselves. 
All of the others must be planted with some other 
variety to provide cross-pollination. - We will make 
proper selections for you. 
The Pecan makes a splendid, fast growing, large 
shade tree wherever it is planted in California, grow¬ 
ing just as large, in time, but not so spreading, as 
the walnut.

Burkett. Valuable Pecan for California and Ari¬ 
zona. Trees that have borne in this state have had 
very heavy crops. The nut is large, almost round, 
thin-shelled, the whole meat coming out very read¬ 
ily. Success or Halbert pollinate this variety. 
Govett. Medium large nut, quite pointed at both 
ends, very prolific bearer, one of the thinnest shelled 
varieties. Especially valuable as a cracker. 
Halbert. A rather small, almost round nut; bear¬ 
ing extremely heavy crops while still young; the 
trees in the desert sections of California producing 
as much as 190 pounds per tree eight years after 
planting. The nuts are extremely thin-shelled, shell¬ 
ing out readily, and are of very high quality. It is 
an excellent pollinizer for other varities. 
Kinkaid. An extremely large and long nut with a 
medium thick shell. The trees bear while quite 
young and continue to produce exceedingly heavy 
crops. Very well thought of in the Yuma district. 
Success. This has been the most widely planted 
of all Pecans in California and the finest and oldest- 
bearing trees are of this variety. Large and oblong, 
with a medium thick shell, and a kernel of the finest 
flavor. 
HICANS 
These new Hybrids are Hickory crossed by Pecan
