Nut Trees 
The Pecan and Its Culture 
By H. HAROLD HUME 
Pecans arc 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 number of years' careful 
study of the industry. The book is thoroughly practical and contains 
the information needed by every grower of Pecans. Second edition, 195 
pages, cloth-bound; price $1.50, postpaid.

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 vigorous 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. 
Black Walnut. I I10 Black Walnut is one of our most noteworthy native trees. At one time 
common throughout the whole of the Eastern and Central United States, it has become a compara¬ 
tively rare tree in most parts of its native home. Its timber, highly prized for cabinet work, is more 
valuable than any other native timber. It is also coming into prominence as a stock on which to 
graft and bud the English or Persian Walnut. The nuts, though thick-shelled, are rich, oily and 
sweet. The trees grow to large size with wide-spreading branches, making it a noticeable tree in 
any landscape. It is well worth planting for its nuts, for its timber and for its beauty as an ornamental 
shade tree. It succeeds best on well-drained land, and should not be planted on wet soil.

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 arc 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.
