WESTERN VARIETIES 
These Varieties Live and Produce in the Higher Altitudes and Drier Climates 
DELMAS 
A very vigorous growing tree and heavy bearer, with 
splendid foliage, large nuts. Forty to fifty will make a 
pound. One of the best for shade purposes. 48 per cent 
meat. 
SCHLEY 
This is an ideal pecan, l.arge size, very thin shell, fills 
and shells out well; fine flavor. Rapid growing tree. 
Beautiful foliage, and the nuts sell for 10 cents to 20 cents 
more per pound than other varieties. 60 per cent meat. 
We grow our pecan trees near the center of the world’s largest pecan belt, where 
they are acclimated to soil and weather conditions of this sector We do not dig trees 
until your order is received, and we ship the trees to you the same day they are dug. 
Each tree is dug separately, and its excellent root system carefully preserved. The 
trees are so packed that they will keep moist from the time we dig them until you re- 
ceive them, which assures that they will reach you in good condition. 
We aie fiom 24 to 48 hours nearer to you than Eastern nurseries, which saves you 
money on express and freight rates. 
BURKETT 
Originated at Clyde, Texas; one of the best varieties for 
West Texas. People in that section are setting more of 
the Burkett than of any other variety. It is also doing 
well on high ground (hill land) in East Texas. Medium 
to large size, fills well, good flavor and prolific. 55 per cent 
TEXAS PROLIFIC 
This variety is a large size nut. Shell of medium thick¬ 
ness, with kernel plump, rich and sweet. It is a heavy 
producer, and we believe should be planted extensively in 
West Texas. It is showing up well on a small scale in 
East Texas on hill land. Texas Prolific will not disappoint 
you. 55 per cent meat. 
MONEY MAKER 
Originated in Madison Parish, Louisiana; widely dissem¬ 
inated. Size, medium; kernel, fairly plump; quality, fair; 
flavor, sweet. Very prolific. Especially suited to plant¬ 
ing in the Northern range of the area adapted to Southern 
Varieties. 46 per cent meat. 
A very fast growing tree. Medium 
good flavor, very productive, and c 
mature. About 49 per cent meat. 
To secure the largest crops, it is advisable to plant three or more varieties 
of pecan trees. The difference in blooming and pollenization time is respon¬ 
sible for a more bountiful yield of nuts when more than one variety is used. 
PECANS MAKE GOOD SHOWING 
Extract from Texas Department of Agriculture Bulletin No. 11 / 
“The Pecan in Texas” 
“In the face of one of the worst depressions known for years, pecans made a 
good showing in net returns, as compared with other farm commodities, including 
live stock, even though the price received by growers was the lowest known in pecan 
history for many years. 
“In some sections of the state, growers were known to have received around 
$35.00 per acre for pecans on the same land where it took 2 l /i acres, or more, to pro¬ 
duce a bale of cotton, the price of which ranged between $20.00 and $30.00 per bale. 
“It seems evident that pecans, for many years hence, will bring revenue more 
nearly commensurate with the cost of production — an anticipation which truly can¬ 
not be stated of some other farm commodities at this time.” 
HOW TO 
SELECT THE VARIETIES 
BEST SUITED TO YOUR 
SOIL AND CLIMATE 
ZONE No. 1—Not recommended for commercial planting. We recom¬ 
mend for home planting in EAST PART: Stuart, Success, Moore, Money 
Maker; in WEST PART: Burkett, Success, Schley. 
ZONE No. 2—Only the Eastern Varieties recommended : Success, Moore, 
Schley. Dclmas, Money Maker, Stuart. We would add Burkett for hill land 
in the West Central part. Success, Moore, Money Maker, Schley and Stuart 
should be used for bottom lands. Plant Dclmas on upland. Stuart seems to 
be especially adapted to extreme East part of this section and bottom lands 
in the Western part. These are known as tested Eastern Varieties. 
ZONE No. 3—Both Eastern and Western Varieties recommended. West¬ 
ern Varieties for West part and uplands. Plant Eastern Varieties in East 
part and on low lands throughout this zone. Burkett, Western Schley, Texas 
Prolific and Halbert are tested Western Varieties. 
ZONE No. 4—Plant Western Varieties only. 
OTHER STATES—Continue zone lines Northeast about 100 to 125 miles, 
planting Eastern Varieties in the lower altitudes and river bottoms of Zone 3, 
and the Western Varieties on the uplands and in the higher altitudes of 
Zone 3. Plant Western Varieties on all lands west of dividing line between 
Zones 3 and 4. 
WILLIAMSON 
Mother tree. Mill Creek, Oklahoma. Large, long, plump, 
well-filled nuts with thin shell. About forty to the pound. 
This is expected to become one of Oklahoma’s greatest 
producers. Matures normal. Should do well any place 
the Burkett will. 47 per cent meat. 
WESTERN SCHLEY 
Very similar to Eastern Schley, except that it thrives 
better in the drier climate and higher altitudes of the West. 
A very fine nut for the West. 60 per cent meat. 
HALBERT 
Young trees inclined to be crooked, but get straightcr as 
the trees grow older. Very early and prolific bearer. Me¬ 
dium size nuts, very thin shell, excellent flavor. A good 
tree for black, waxy land. Should NOT be set in Mis¬ 
sissippi, Louisiana, East Texas or Eastern Oklahoma. 
61 per cent meat. 
CLARK—Introduced from Bend, Texas Runs about 60 nuts per pound and 56 per cent 
kernel, medium thin shell. A. good commercial cracker and recommended for West and 
Central Texas. It has a record for being prolific and an early bearer. 56 per cent meat. 
BUY FROM RELIABLE NURSERYMEN 
Extract from Texas Department of Agriculture Bulletin No. ill 
“The Pecan in Texas” 
“Five important physical factors enter into successful pecan orcharding: good 
soil; thorough preparation; good trees; good cultivation; and the proper varieties. 
Equal in importance, perhaps, to all factors combined, is the man behind the job; for 
upon his efficiency depends almost entirely the success of the enterprise. 
“Trees should be bought from reliable nurserymen, having a reputation for fair 
dealing. If the nurseryman grows his own trees on his own ground, the chances are 
better for the purchaser to get the varieties preferred. 
“The cost of care of poor trees is the same as that expended for good trees. The 
higher price paid for good trees is cheaper in the long run than the smaller price 
for the purchase of poor trees.”
