Burkett : The Burkett nut is large, almost perfectly round, 
thin soft shell, plump kernel and excellent flavor. The kernels 
release very readily, coming out in whole halves. It is an 
early and regular bearer. The tree is healthy and vigorous. 
It is the most popular variety in the uplands and semi-up¬ 
lands of Texas and Oklahoma. 
Western Schley. This nut is long, resembling the Eastern 
Schley. It runs 59 nuts to the pound and 60 per cent meat. 
The shell is thin and cracks and separates very well. Its popu¬ 
larity is due to the rapid growth of the tree and its regular 
and heavy bearing habits. 
Halbert : This variety should be called our most drought 
resistant pecan. It originated near mesquite trees in Coleman 
County, Texas. I have had little trees in the nursery row to 
produce as many as 50 nuts. It never fails to bear. The mother 
tree has averaged 200 pounds of nuts for the last 30 years. 
Texas Prolific: (Sovereign) As the name implies this is 
a very prolific variety. The tree frequently produces nuts in 
the nursery row. The trees are slender in growth which makes 
them difficult to grow in the nursery. The nut ripens fairly 
early which makes it succeed as far north as Bartlesville, 
Oklahoma. 
San Saba Improved: This is one of the best nuts of the 
entire pecan family. It has won more blue ribbons than any

Success: This is the most popular Eastern variety in Texas. 
The nut is very large and oblong, with plump smooth creamy 
kernels that reelase perfectly from the shell. 
Schley: This is the standard of excellence among pecans. 
Stuart: Stuart has a wide range of adaption in the 
Eastern belt, but should not be planted in the higher and drier 
altitudes. 
Delmas: The nuts are large, perfectly shaped, medium shell 
and meats that come out readily. 
Chestnut: (Mahan)—Through courtesy to the nursery that 
introduced this variety we have discontinued propagating it. 
We have a few hundred trees on hand that we are closing out.

SIZE OF PECAN TREES TO PLANT 
The trend each year is to plant larger pecan trees. The 4 
to 5, 5 to 6, 6to 7 and 7 to 8-foot are all good sizes for com¬ 
mercial planting. For yards or places where pecan trees can 
be cared for plant trees from 7 to 12 foot for quickest and 
best results.

other western variety. The nuts run about 55 per pound and 
61 per cent kernel. The kernels are smooth and light in color 
and of the highest quality. They release perfectly from the 
shell. The nut ripens very early, which should make it suited 
to the section having short season. 
Squirrels Delight: The chief merit in this pecan is its earli¬ 
ness; the first for the squirrels to get, hence its name. A large 
showy nut, and the first good seller on the market. 
Onliwon: (Only one) is strictly a papershell. The crackling 
quality is all that can be desired—60 per cent meat. This is 
one of the finest pecans grown—a winner of blue ribbons in 
state and national shows. 
Jersey: This variety has not been tried out over a wide 
area. It won the prize as the best pecan sent in to the Texas 
Department of Agriculture out of 70 varieties. I regard it as 
very promising for the Western belt of Texas. 
Commonwealth: This variety puts its leaves and blooms out 
later than any variety in our orchard. The nut is similar to 
Squirrels Delight, but larger, better in color of meat and 
higher per cent meat.

These trees are six and seven years old with straight 
stems and branched tops. They were root pruned in March, 
1935, cutting the tap root and some side roots causing the 
tree to partly recover from this shock and making it put 
out a heavy set of lateral roots. Most of these trees are 
producing nuts in the nursery, many of them ripening from 
50 to 150 Nuts. 
ENGLISH WALNUTS 
Wilson Wonder: Called the “Jumbo Walnut” because of its 
enormous size, the individual nuts often measuring more than 
2 inches in diameter. Offered in the stores at Christmas time 
for very fancy prices. Bears very young and heavily. A hardy 
tree. 
THE THOMAS BLACK WALNUT 
Everyone who has lived in the East and Middle West has 
had experience in cracking the thick shells of the old Eastern 
Black Walnut and in prying out the little portions of the ker¬ 
nel that could be obtained. The Thomas is a selected strain of
