Stuart Pecan 
Varieties 
The most important thing for the prospective purchaser 
to consider is variety. Of course, one naturally assumes 
that the trees offered are healthy, vigorous, and thrifty. 
W e have never been great believers in many varieties, and 
we now offer only two—Stuart and Success. 
The perfect variety for all conditions has not yet been 
discovered, but we believe the above two come nearer 
meeting that condition than any others. 
STUART. We believe this is the best all-round Pecan yet 
introduced. It is resistant to disease and bears a large, 
well-filled nut of good quality, running 40 to 50 to the 
pound and normally averaging 45 to 48 per cent meat. 
SUCCESS. Another good variety, running about the same 
size as Stuart, and when well filled and properly devel¬ 
oped will slightly top Stuart in percentage of meat to 
shell. It is also a better sheller, but is subject to over¬ 
bearing under some conditions, and sometimes fills 
rather poorly if the season is dry. This variety should 
be planted on extra-good land. Each 10 100
