WOLFE'S PECAN NURSERY 
VARIETIES 
A commercial orchard should have not more than four or less than two varieties. 
Western varieties pay better in the West because they bear younger and produce heav¬ 
ier than Eastern varieties. But in the low river bottoms of the Central West, Eastern 
varieties grown on Western root stock do well. A great many of the Western varieties 
should not be planted in low lands on account of scab. In order to bring about pollina¬ 
tion, one muse interplant, as there are no standard varieties that are perfect self¬ 
pollinators. For instance, the Success, Western Schley, and Squirrel’s Delight will 
pollinate Burkett and Schley, and the pollen from these two will pollinate Western 
Schley, Texas Prolific, Squirrel’s Delight, and San Saba Improved.
