Large Bearing Pecan Trees 
Pecans 
The Pecan grows finely all through the South, some of the oldest and most profitable 
groves being in the Gulf region of the Lower South. This is one of the few nuts especially well 
adapted to the peninsula of Florida. Seedlings come into bearing in eight or ten years, after 
which they yield abundantly. Grafted or budded trees commence bearing sooner and, if the 
right kinds are planted, are, of course, more valuable. Trees of all ordinary nursery sizes can 
be transplanted with safety. Late fall and early winter are the best seasons for transplanting. 
The absurd claim that cutting the tap-root in transplanting the small tree injures its subsequent 
bearing qualities is abundantly refuted by the many thousands of transplanted trees now 
bearing heavily. 
SEEDLING PECANS. A goodly portion of 
the seedlings offered this season are from nuts pro¬ 
duced from seedlings of Frotscher ; 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 inferior nuts. 
GRAFTED PECANS. One of the largest 
Pecans in existence is Frotscher. Shell very 
thin—can be cracked with the teeth; meat of very 
fine quality and can be removed from the shell 
entire. We obtained grafts of this variety from 
the original tree some years ago, and now have 
several trees fruiting on our place. The nursery 
trees we offer this year were grafted or budded 
with wood from these bearing trees.
