EVERY MAHAN BRANCH DOES ITS DUTY 
The more nuts produced on a tree, the less the cost per pound 
of producing them, and the greater your net profit. A tree bear¬ 
ing light crops costs just as much to take care of as v: ne like the 
MAHAN which bears heavy crops. NET PROFITS mount rapid¬ 
ly as production per tree is increased. 
Net profits are the only ones worth talking about, and this high 
net profit that will be obtained from the MAHAN should be the 
deciding factor in the planting of pecan trees. 
It is our experience that the Mahan—due to its early and heavy 
production and high market price—will show two to four times the 
net profit, tree for tree, that can be obtained from any other vari¬ 
ety. 
Improvements are being made in all lines. The Mahan is the 
greatest improvement in the pecan world in 20 years- It combines 
the characteristics needed for the perfect pecan. 
1. Earliest commercial crops. 
2. Greatest number of nuts per cluster—makes heavier crops. 
3. Excells in vigor of growth, and resistance to disease. 
4. Is a regular producer. 
5. Nuts average 50% larger than the next largest commercial 
pecan. 
6 . Rich, fine grained meat—excellent flavor—tests 75% oil- 
7. Meat percentage high—61 to 63%. 
8 . A real paper shell—cracks easily, meat comes out whole. 
Some of these characteristics are found in other pecans, but 
none except the MAHAN combines them all. 
MAHAN trees will give you greater returns per dollar invested in your orchard- 
The Mahan is not commercially subject to scab. We have top-worked many trees of the Schley, Delmas, 
and Van Deman varieties to Mahan and are getting fine crops without spraying for scab. 
Mahan trees are adapted to wide range of soils and climate. They are bearing in every southern state, 
and as far north as Washington, D. C., Southern Ohio, Southern Kansas, and points along that line. 
BEAUTY AND PROFIT CAN BE COMBINED 
The shade trees in your yard will soon pay the taxes on your home—if you plant MAHAN trees- Their 
large and luxuriant leaves, and symmetrical shape rival any tree for beauty. Their early and! heavy crops 
bring the money to pay taxes. 
For commercial orchards we recommend planting Mahan trees 60 feet apart each way, or 12 trees per acre. 
Their rapid growth and long life makes this distance necessary. 
A small Mahan orchard, properly cared for, will provide a comfortable living for you and! your family, 
and become a valuable legacy for them when you are gone. 
The Paper Shell Pecan industry is rapidly developing into one of the most profitable industries of modern 
times. We know of no other investment which is so remarkably safe and which is so certain to yield tre¬ 
mendous profits in comparatively short time-
