PECANS 
Because the nuts are so rich 
in required food-elements and 
so palatable, the Pecan has .be¬ 
come an essential part of fruit 
orchards for home use through¬ 
out the South. In addition, 
large numbers of commercial 
plantings have been made, and 
these are increasing yearly. 
The varieties of Pecans we list 
are well tried and favorably 
known. The trees are vigorous 
and well grown. 
Curtis. Of Florida origin. A 
beautiful, rapid-growing tree 
and a heavy bearer of very 
thin - shelled, medium - sized 
nuts of highest quality. 
Frotscher. A large, oblong nut 
with very thin shell and of 
good quality. It is well 
adapted to planting in the 
Gulf Coast country, Florida, 
and southeast Georgia. 
Moneymaker. A medium-sized 
nut with medium shell, well 
fdled with a rich meat. The 
tree is an upright grower with 
foliage of dark green color. 
Schley. A good growing tree of 
average form and size. Nuts 
medium to large, with very 
thin shell and highest quality 
meat.

Stuart 
EXCELSIOR 
PLUM 
This variety was intro¬ 
duced by Mr. Taber in 1887. 
Experienced fruit-growers 
put Excelsior at the top of the 
Plum list; therefore home- 
garden owners may expect 
equally good results. The 
fruit ripens early in June, is a 
bright wine-red, 2 inches or 
more in diameter, with lots of 
juice and a real Plum flavor. 
If you like Plums, plant 
Excelsior. See page 3.

FIGS 
Wholesome, Nutritious, Healthful 
Figs have long been a favorite food in Oriental 
countries, and great quantities of dried Figs 
come to the United States. 
Every garden can have at 
least one Fig tree, which 
ought to be the early-bearing 
Celeste. If you have a larger 
place, select two or three 
later varieties (see page 3). 
Fig trees grow readily and 
need only a little attention. 
Mulching is desirable, as it 
keeps the soil and roots cool 
and moist. 
Stuart. A large, strong tree with a fine head. Nuts 
large, medium thin, good quality. It stands the 
cold better than most other southern varieties. 
Success. Tree sturdy, vigorous, and is a heavy pro¬ 
ducer of large nuts of average thickness and of 
good quality.

Pecan trees succeed on various soils—sandy loam, 
light clay, or sand and clay are suitable. Low, 
wet land should be avoided 
unless it can be well 
drained; they need mois¬ 
ture like all trees, but de¬ 
test “wet feet.”
