The Pecan and Its Culture b v h. harold hume 
Pecans are rapidly becoming one of the most important orchard trees in the South. In fact, 
for general planting they are entitled to first place because of their peculiar adaptability to many 
conditions and locations. The merits of this valuable nut are being recognized as never before, and 
the crop has gained a firm place in the markets of the country. To supply reliable information on 
Pecan-growing, this up-to-date work, touching every cultural detail, has been prepared after a num¬ 
ber of years’ careful study of the industry. The book is thoroughly practical and contains the in¬ 
formation needed by every grower of Pecans. Second edition, 195 pages, cloth bound; price $1.50,

JAPAN CHESTNUT 
The Japan Chestnut grows well in nearly all parts of the lower South, and makes handsome, 
spreading, dense-headed trees. The leaves are narrow, pointed, deeply notched, deep green above, 
light beneath. The nuts are large, usually from two to five or seven in a bur. The nuts are esteemed 
by most people and are very good, especially when cooked. The trees make handsome lawn speci¬ 
mens and are very desirable. They should be planted on well-drained, though moist soil of good 
quality for best results. They make a valuable addition to any collection of nut trees and should 
have a place in every fruit-garden throughout the region in which they may be cultivated.

JAPAN WALNUT 
In the development of the nut industry, the Japan Walnut is well worthy of a place in every 
planting, and no home orchard should be without a few trees. They should be planted on well- 
drained land—a sandy or clay loam with a clay foundation is well adapted. The tree is a vigor¬ 
ous grower and comes into bearing early. In habit of growth they are low and spreading, reaching 
a height of 15 or 20 feet, with a spread of branch of about the same distance. The leaves arc large 
and handsome. The nuts are borne in clusters of fifteen to twenty. They have rather thick shells, 
with sweet, plump kernels of very fine quality. They make beautiful lawn or shade trees.
