Citrus Fruits and Their Culture 
By H. HAROLD HUME 
This work, published in 1904, has been well received, and is heartily endorsed by the 
leading growers of citrus fruits. The subject of citrus fruit-growing has been thoroughly cov¬ 
ered in all its phases, from the preparation of the land and the planting of the trees to the 
marketing of the fruit. 
From the standpoint of the grower actually engaged in the production of first-class oranges, 
pomelos (grape-fruit) or lemons, it is an invaluable book. It contains 600 pages, well illus¬ 
trated with line drawings and half-tone engravings. Price, postpaid, $2.50. 
The Pecan and Its Culture 
By H. HAROLD HUME 
Pecans are rapidly becoming one of the most important orchard trees in the South. The 
merits of this valuable nut are being recognized as never before. 
To supply reliable information on pecan-growing, this up-to-date work, touching every 
cultural detail, has been prepared after a number of years’ careful study of the industry. The 
book is thoroughly practical and contains, in condensed form, the information needed by every 
grower of pecans. Paper binding, 75 cts.; cloth, $1, postpaid. %
