PECAN TREES 
for Zero Climates 
Growing at the 43d Parallel of latitude 
We are headquarters for hardy northern grown Pecan 
trees, and were the first to begin their propagation and to 
offer real paper-shell Pecan trees for safe planting in the 
North. We are still the most northern growers of hardy 
Pecan trees. We have spent much time and thousands of 
dollars in establishing the safety of planting Pecans in the 
Northern states. Your assurance of success is fully estab¬ 
lished by the 40,000 trees in various stages of development 
to be seen at our nursery in Fairport, ten miles east of 
Rochester. 
Our six varieties of hardy, acclimated Pecan trees, are 
budded with bearing wood from northern grown trees, upon 
northern grown seedlings, raised from northern grown nuts. 
Our winter conditions, far below zero at times, breeds 
iron-clad vigor and vitality —supreme requisites which you 
must have and which cannot be had in southern grown trees, 
The difference of a few degrees of latitude in the origin 
of your trees may mean success or failure, hence we cannot 
emphasize too much the importance of securi ng the “Farthest 
North’’ grown trees. 
This Pecan Tree 
was one of several shipped to Mr. F. M. Pierce, who appears 
in photograph. It was between 5 and 6 feet high when set in 
April, 1911, in Ashtabula, O. Picture was made October, 
1912, after passing through a temperature of 25 below zero 
the winter of 1911-12. The splendid growth (nearly 4 feet) 
made by the tree during 17 months, show that it is perfectly 
hardy on the shores of Lake Erie. 
We make a specialty of Pecans, English Walnuts and 
Sober Paragon, Mammoth Sweet Chestnuts.

Quality Crops for the Home

proximity to field corn, has become 
tainted — for corn will "mix" the first 
season when it gets an opportunity. It is 
to the varieties found in these two classes 
that, personally, I would award the palm 
for that nectar-like sweetness and melt¬ 
ing tenderness which elevates corn into 
a dish for the gods! 
Of the extra Earlies, the several varie¬ 
ties of Cory are still very popular, espe¬ 
cially for market planting, but I think 
that such sorts as Metropolitan and Howl- 
ing Mob are far superior in quality, and 
they are practically as early. Stabler’s 
Early, Cosmopolitan and Eliawatha are 
three sorts which have largely superseded 
the old Crosby’s Twelve-rowed as me¬ 
dium sorts. Stowell s Evergreen and 
White Evergreen, an improved Stowell’s, 
are unexcelled as late sorts. Mammoth 
Late is even later than Stowell’s, and of 
equally good quality. Of the “shoe-peg” 
sorts, that old favorite, Country Gentle¬ 
man, which has delighted the palates of 
the particular for nearly a quarter of a 
century, has not, so far as I know, yet 
been improved upon. It is ready for 
table a little sooner than Stowell’s. 
As to the colored sorts, not many years 
ago there was just one sort that was 
used to any extent. That was Black 
Mexican, which, in spite of its unattract¬ 
ive color, was still appreciated by the 
discernilmg few for their private tables. 
Then came Golden Bantam; which, on 
account of its surpassing deliciousness, 
remarkable hardiness and “catchy” name, 
was within two or three seasons known 
from one end of the country to the other. 
Since then there have been a number of 
“golden" corns. I have not yet come 
across any so early as Golden Bantam; 
though not “flint"-grained, may be planted 
as early as the white extra earlies — and 
none is superior in flavor. Some of the 
others have larger ears, and, maturing a 
little later, do well to use for a succession 
planting. Without doubt, we will soon 
have a complete “set” of golden varieties. 
Earliest Catawba is another early colored 
sort of the utmost sweetness and tender¬ 
ness imaginable. It matures a little later 
than Golden Bantam; the grains are 
tinged with light purplish-red, which in¬ 
creases as they ripen. The ears are a lit¬ 
tle small, but they are produced freely. 
Cosmopolitan, Country Gentleman, Sta¬ 
bler’s Early and White Evergreen make 
a good combination planting. I have 
planted Golden Bantam, Catawba, Sey¬ 
mour's Sweet-Orange, Black Mexican and 
Country Gentleman side by side, and, 
though they colored each other somewhat 
(spoiling the ears for seed, but not in¬ 
juring the quality), and mature too quick¬ 
ly after each other to make an ideal suc¬ 
cessive planting, still they come along in 
the order named, and make a combination 
that for quality is hard to beat, if you 
like the extra sweet corns.
