1 he_‘*Iii(Iiana’‘ and “lUiseron,’’ native of tlie State of Indiana, and 
"Hinton” and "Major,” native of Kentucky, are so Itardy that, properly 
j^rown, they may l)e planted in Xorthern states witli the same assurance 
of successful fruiting as apple trees. 
\\ e i)roducc the hardy stocks on wiiich these trees are grown by 
planting nuts from far northern states and growing the seedlings under 
northern conditions. The seedlings are budflcd when two or three years 
old. Irees Irom these northern nuts never "winter kill.’’ Several 
climatic tests arc afforded in the section where these trees are grown, 
the temperature iii winter often going below zero, while in the spring 
the weather is varied witli sudden changes from warm to freezing. 
Pecan trees will succeed in a wide variety of soils, liut it is asserted 
by experienced growers that the potential value of the tree is so great 
that they deserve the best soil. Stress is laid ui)on the importance and 
value of cultivation and fertilizing, and it is maintained that 100 trees 
well cared for on good land are more desirable than 500 trees which 
are neglected. FT'cans, like other crops, respond astonishingly to intens¬ 
ive cultivation, and trees highly fertilized regularly produce more nuts 
of a larger size and correspondingly higher market value. As an 
illustration of how Pecans respond to fertilization, Mr. Wight relates 
the experience <jf a neighbor of his who owned a f(nirtcen-year-old tree 
which stood apart in a held. To test the value of fertilization, 50 pounds 
of guano was spread broadcast about the tree, with the result that the 
succeeding crop f)f nuts was a third larger, and sold for 20 c a i)ound 
instead of 12 cents wliich was the market price of previf)us crops. 
Pecans — Varieties 
Appomattox. 1 he original tree has been bearing for twentj' years. 
The nut is medium sized, with thin shell, the kernel is plump and the 
flavor excellent. The llavor of the Appomattox has been compared by a 
southern expert with that of the San Saba pecan, the choice Texas 
variety, which is considered the standard of cpiality among pecans. 
Indiana. .A hardy variety originating in Knox county. Indiana. The 
original tree, which is fifty or sixty feet high and about five feet in 
circuintcrence. bears annual crops of choice nuts. The nuts are medium 
in size, with a full, plump, light-colored kernel which is fine grained 
sweet, nutty and of good quality. 
Mantura. The original Mantura tree is a large, symmetrical specimen, 
with wide spreading branches. It is about eighty feet high and measures 
about eleven feet around the trunk. The nut is large, shell very thin 
kernel dark straw-colored, with a sweet, nutty llavor. The Mantura i.s 
desciibc<I in the ^ earhook of the U. S. Dei)t. of Agriculture for 1907 . 
Moneymaker. The tree is precocious, prolific and hardy. It trans¬ 
plants well and makes vigorous growth in northern sections. The nut 
IS medium sized and the kernel is of fine flavor and quality The 
Moneymaker has proved hardy as far north as Illinois. 
Stuart. The Stuart succeeds over a wide range of territory. The 
nut IS large to very large with a kernel of a rich, sweet flavor. It is 
considered one of the best standard varieties for commercial growing
