PECANS 
The leading- southern nut crop, and one which will make money for everyone. Even 
a few trees properly cared for will bring- in the extra money that comes in so handy. 
Planted in yards and around barn lots they usually do extra well. 
Varieties are as follows: 
Moneymaker. Medium sized nut, early and prolific bearer. Shell medium, meat good 
quality. A good commercial variety. 
Schley. One of the finest quality nuts grown. Meat excellent, shell thin, medium size.. 
Should not be planted within 75 miles of the coast as in humid conditions is badly af¬ 
fected by scab. Fine in inland plantings. 
Stuart. One of the best known, and most widely distributed varieties. Size large, 
shell medium, and quality medium. Succeeds in any pecan section. 
Success. A fine quality pecan, large size and medium shell. Does best on rather rich 
soil, and in such locations is an excellent bearer. One of the best for heavy lands.

The average annual production of paper shell pecans amounts to only about 2 ounces 
per capita. There is room for a great deal of expansion in the pecan industry, and as it 
takes several years to get commercial crops, you should start now. 
MAHAN 
The Earliest and Heaviest Bearer 
A new pecan variety, discovered and introduced by Mr. F. A. Mahan, President of the 
Monticello Nursery Co. The nut is the largest of any commercial pecan. The shell ex¬ 
tremely thin and easily cracked. Over 60 per cent meat of the finest quality and flavor. 
In our orchards many Mahan trees have produced the second season, and have made 
good commercial crops of over 100 pounds per acre of 12 trees the 4th year. It has been 
oi.r experience that Mahans will make 3 to 4 times the net profit per tree that can be 
had from any other pecan, and it will pay any planter well to include Mahan trees in 
his planting. 
As a shade tree for yard planting Mahans make a symettrioal shapely tree, rapid in 
growth, and extremely long lised. A few trees in the yard will give you an ample supply 
of these large delicious pecans for home use.
