CLUSTER OF JOHN GARNER PECANS 
THE JOHN GARNER PECAN 
This is a new variety named “John Garner,” for our 
most distinguished pecan grower, The Vice-President. A 
promising seedling of San Saba Improved, running 46 nuts 
per pound, 61 per cent meat. Winning the John Garner 
prize for the best seedling pecan in Texas. It is as large 
as the Burkett and much more prolific. We have the exclus¬ 
ive right to propagate this variety. 
This pecan was created by E. E. Risen, famous pecan 
breeder of San Saba, Texas, from 'the San Saba Improved 
variety. It won the John Garner cash prize for the best un¬ 
named pecan in Texas. By his permission it was named 
after him. 
We own the exclusive right to propagate this variety 
and a plant patent for it is now pending. No buds or grafts 
should be used to multiply this variety without securing our 
permission. 
The mother tree is 13 years old, 40 feet high, 36 inches 
in trunk circumference, with a top spread of 34 feet. It be¬ 
gan bearing when six years old and has never failed to 
produce a crop since. It is growing in black soil where 
the water table is 35 feet. It produced 74 pounds of nuts 
in 1931, 46 pounds in 1932 and 92 pounds in 1933, 30 pounds 
in 1934. From 60 patch buds set in the spring of 1933 
more than 400 produced nutlets in 60 days from the 
time the buds were put on, some of which matured . 
The nut is somewhat longer than the Bur¬ 
kett, being perfectly round at the stem end 
and flattening toward the blossom end. It 
is the same size as the Burkett with 5 per 
cent more meat. “It is far superior to the 
Burkett in every respect,” says E. E. Risien. 
This New Deal Pecan Has the Following 
Superior Qualities : 
1. Easy to propagate. 
2. Produces nutlets the first year from 
buds or grafts. 
3. Healthy, strong and vigorous tree. 
4. Bears nuts all through the top. 
5. Bears every year. 
6. Puts out late in spring and ripens 
early in fall. 
7. The most beautiful nut grown. A real 
paper-shell, with kernels easily removed in 
halves. 
8. Creamy plump kernels, every nut is a 
good one. 
9. Kernels rich in oil, protein, carbon- 
hydrates, vitamins and flavor.
