WHAT MAHAN OWNERS SAY 
Dear Sir: 
Mast everyone has some hobby, and my hobby is a profitable one the 
raising of pecan trees, especially is this true since I began concentrating on Mahan 
pecan trees. My four year olds are the talk of the community. As I write this 
in late July these young trees are laden with clusters of the largest pecans I 
ever saw. These clusters have from 5 to 9 nuts to the cluster. Only this after¬ 
noon I counted on one small limb 32 fast maturing Mahans. 
My two year olds are bearing some, but my four year olds as stated above 
are the pride of my orchard. I wouldn’t trade one of the Mahans for any six of 
the other varieties I have. My only regret is that we didn't get acquainted soon- 
er - Yours very sincerely, 
J. B. PARNELL, Florence, S. C. 
Mr. C. R. Hunter, Tulsa, Okla. “Here are the results of my Mahan: A very early 
ripening nut—a pound of mature nuts the third season—thin shell—a nut that 
starts development early in the season and ripens with the earliest. The nut is 
nearly twice the size of my prize Texas Prolific. X just weighed the nut I am 
sending you. It weighs 304 gr. or at the rate of 25 to the pound. Is that not 
large enough for a pecan grown in Osage County, joining the Kansas line. 
Mr. J. A. Kernodle, Camp Ilill, Ala. “Today I saw a Mahan tree in my brother- 
in-laws yard in Dadeville, planted two years ago, with 15 clusters, from 5 to 9 
to the cluster. In all my pecan experience I never saw 9 on an improved va¬ 
riety before. Undoubtedly the Mahan is the most prolific of all and the wonder 
of the age. Think of a large paper shell so prolific. 
Mr. T. E. Donald, Felicity, Ohio. “In 1930 I bought some Mahan pecan trees from 
you. One now has nuts on it, and I would like to know how to care for it, and 
if it should be sprayed. 
Mr. W. O. C. Hamm, Muskogee, Okla. “I am afraid Mr. Mahan passed , me up. 
I was anxious to show him what a Mahan pecan tree can do on prairie soil. I 
have a Mahan 3 years old that matured 14 as fine nuts as you ever saw last year. 
The nuts are filled to the limit. This year the same tree has 132 healthy look¬ 
ing nuts, 3 to 6 to the cluster. 
Mr. T. H. Ridgeway, San Antonio, Texas., Past President, Texas Pecan Growers’ 
association. ‘During the past 20 years I have experimented with practically all 
the leading varieties and have top-worked over 200 trees in my grove, more 
than half of which are bearing. I have studied the good and bad qualities of these 
varieties with the view of determining, if possible, the bast varieties. During the 
past 3 years I have closely observed the Mahan variety, and given close attention to 
it in various forme of growth, with a view of forming a conclusion as to its mer¬ 
its. I unhesitatingly state that in my judgement the Mahan variety is the best 
that has been produced to this time. I find that it has practically all the good 
qualities that are desired in a pecan I recommend this variety to all persons 
who desire the very best there is in a pecan tree. 
Mr. G. T. Sutton, Lake Waccamaw, N. C. “I lost one of my trees and six of 
them have nuts this year, one of which must have a thousand nuts. I noticed 
one cluster of nine; I never saw more than seven in a cluster until this year. I 
counted the nuts on one limb hardly an inch in diameter that had 89 nuts. 
W. W. Watson, Orangeburg, S. C. “My Mahan trees, three of them at least are 
exceptionally fine. This is the start of the fourth year we have had them, and 
they have been transplanted once. Some of the Mahans have 7 to 10 nuts to 
the bunch. One tree has approximately 100 nuts. 
(Mrs.) Lina D. Cherry, Little Rock, Ark. “My Mahan trees are 3 years old 
now, and are the be«st trees I have on my farm which is planted with 800 pecan 
trees. They are in bloom now, and I hope that enough will hold for a gc od 
crop of nuts this fall. 
VERY IMPORTANT! 
The Mahan bears every year 
Since it first produced nuts, the Parent Mahan 
tree has never missed a single crop during the 12 
years of its bearing life; never received any spec¬ 
ial attention, never was sprayed or fertilized.
