Nut-Bearing Trees. 
PECANS. 
TH H Pecan grows finely all through the South, and Florida is no exception to the 
rule in this respect. The trees come into bearing at eight to ten years old, after 
which they bear profusely, and are profitable. In ordering them, please bear in 
mind that only young trees can be moved without cutting the tap-root. It is not 
unusual for a one-year-old Pecan tree to have a tap-root at least three times as long 
aa/ihe tree is tall. 
Paper Shell produces a very large nut of fine quality ; shell .very thin, as its 
name indicates. Our trees of this variety are grown from the finest selected seed, 
costing 75c. to $1 per pound. 
Turner. — This variety has been bearing for years on the place adjoining ours. 
The nuts are fine, of large size, and the trees bear abundantly. 
WALNUTS. 
Japan. —This species, clearly distinct from all others, is found growing wild in 
the mountains of Northern Japan, and is, without doubt, as hardy as an oak. The 
tree grows rapidly, and attains a very large size with a magnificent spreading top. 
The leaves are of immense size, and of a charming shade of green. The nuts, which 
are produced in extreme abundance, grow in clusters of fifteen to twenty in a clus¬ 
ter, have a shell thicker than the English Walnut, but not as thick as the Black Wal¬ 
nut. The meat is sweet, of the very best quality, and can be removed entire. The 
trees grow with great vigor, and are easily grafted on our common Walnuts, yet it 
comes perfectly true from seed, and all of the trees we offer are grown in this way. 
CHESTNUTS. 
Japan Mammoth— Produces a very large nut of the size of the large Span¬ 
ish variety. It is the largest and sweetest of all chestnuts; even sweeter and better 
than the American “Sweet Chestnut,” and many times as large. The trees com¬ 
mence bearing when only four or five years old. It is superior to all other chest¬ 
nuts in every respect. A few old trees of the Japan Chestnut are growing in vari¬ 
ous parts of this State ; they bear regular, heavy crops of mammoth, bright-colored, 
clean-looking sweet nuts. Many of the trees bloom in nursery the second year from 
the seed, and we have seen them loaded with nuts at four years of age. The trees 
which we offer are home grown. The imported trees are worthless, as they are 
badly grown, and the few stubs of roots left are bruised, so that they need nursing a 
year or two to bring them to life. 
j ALMONDS. 
Sultana and Princesse.— Two of the finest varieties grown; the soft 
shelled almonds of commerce consist principally of these two varieties.
