One of our bearing Frotscher Pecans, twelve years old 
PECANS, continued 
grown principally from nuts 
produced by seedlings of 
I'rotscher; others from large 
seedling trees that for years 
have been bearing heavily— 
all from our own place and 
all selected nuts. Seedlings 
from these large, thin-shelled 
selected nuts are very much 
more apt to produce fine 
nuts than are the seedlings 
from a mixed lot of infericr 
nuts. 
WALNUTS 
JAPAN. Produces in 
abundance nuts considerably 
larger than the common 
Hickory Nut, which are 
borne in clusters of 15 to 20. 
The shell is thicker than the 
shell of the English Walnut, 
which in a general way it 
resembles, but is not as thick 
as that of the Black Walnut. 
The meat is sweet, of good 
quality, and can be removed 
entire. The tree grows 
rapidly, and attains a very 
large size, with a magnificent 
spreading top. The leaves 
are of immense size, of a 
charming shade of green, 
and very handsome. We 
have fruited this variety on 
our grounds for several years 
past, and are annually more 
and more impressed with the 
value of the tree, both for its 
nuts and as an ornamental. 
ALMONDS 
We do not recommend 
this nut for extensive plant¬ 
ing in this section, as Al¬ 
monds are not certain bear¬ 
ers this far South. We raise 
a few trees of them, how¬ 
ever, which are mostly in de¬ 
mand for garden planting, 
and forfillingout collections. 
We offer two of the finest 
varieties, SULTANA and 
PRINCESSE, soft-shelled Al¬ 
monds of commerce.
