Wight Nursery & Orchard Co 
There is little danger of overproduction 
of pecans during the life of the present gen¬ 
eration. The present production of pecans 
in the United States, if evenly divided be¬ 
tween every person in the country, would 
give only about one-half pound to each per¬ 
son. As it is, barely more than one-half 
of the people of the United States know 
what a pecan nut is. It is further to be 
considered that when our people are pro¬ 
vided, that we have the remainder of the 
world for a market. 
After years of trial we have discovered 
the best stock on which to bud pecan trees 
in order to grow a vigorous and productive 
orchard. Our trees are all grown on this 
stock. Many trees set with inferior (slow 
growing) trees in the past have been 
doomed to failure. A runt in the nursery 
generally proves to be a dwarf in the or¬ 
chard. We send out no tree that we would 
not be willing to set out in our own or¬ 
chards.

Here Are Our 
VARIETIES and PRICES 
Stuart Pecan 
We are testing about forty of the most 
promising varieties of pecans. The follow¬ 
ing we consider among the best of these: 
FROTSCHER. A large, thin-shelled nut, 
which has been widely planted. Placed by 
some at head of list of profitable varieties. 
MONEYMAKER. An early and prolific 
bearer, and a healthy, vigorous grower. It 
is proving a very profitable commercial 
variety. 
MOORE. Nut of medium size; a vigorous 
and healthy grower; very early and pro¬ 
lific bearer. 
NELSON. This is probably the largest 
pecan grown. It is a strong, vigorous 
grower, and an early and abundant bearer. 
Thick-shelled.
