This is the remarkable bearing record of nine 
of our Extra Special pecan trees set out the last 
of February, 1923, by Dr. D. B. Stevenson, of 
Lumberton, Miss. Most all of these trees bore 
pecans the first year set out. They were our 
largest size trees and have been given the very 
best of attention by Dr. Stevenson. He has fer¬ 
tilized the trees very heavily with barnyard ma¬ 
nure and worked around them often, so that 
weeds and grass would not get the fertilizer. 
Results have been remarkable. 
The record that follows was carefully kept by 
Dr. Stevenson, who is one of the best known 
physicians as well as loved and respected citizens 
of South Mississippi, and is absolutely authentic 
as he gathered and weighed the pecans himself. 
The trees bearing the heaviest crops were the 
ones most favorably located. Trees with smallest 
yields were greatly handicapped by being near 
big oaks, sidewalks, etc. The nuts were gathered 
in October and November of 1925 —actually be¬ 
fore the trees had been set in the ground three 
years.
