Frotscher The Frotscher is highly prized among pecan growers for its large 
size and good quality. 
The tree is a vigorous grower of spreading habit, heavy bearer and always 
produces an extremely fine flavored nut, which is oblong in shape and often 
measures as much as 1$4 to V/% inches in length. It is quite frequently cov¬ 
ered with purplish black markings and has the reputation of being the most 
attractive of any of the pecans. 
The kernel is large and on account of Jhe thin shell is very easily removed. 
Although it has not been extensively grown in California it has given good 
results wherever planted. 
Pabst Pabst is one of the improved varieties of the pecan. The nuts are 
large, oblong in shape, having a very thin shell, which is well filled. 
Kernel is very easily parted from the shell and is of the highest quality. We 
do not hesitate to recommend the Pabst to those who desire to plant pecans, 
as we believe it one of the best.

foliage, presents a handsome appearance, and is a vigorous and 
heavy bearer.

quarter inches in length. It is oval in shape and grayish brown in color and 
often marked with purplish black markings. The shell is thin being easily

This variety is one of the most popular and we highly recommend it for 
general planting.

very ornamental. It is considered to be very profitable on account of its heavy

Van Deman While the shell of this variety is not as thin, therefore, not 
as easily cracked as some of the others, it bears the reputa¬ 
tion of being one of the largest nuts of the pecan family often‘averaging from 
one and seven-eights to two and one-eighth inches in length. 
It differs much from other pecans in shape, as it is long and slender, and 
rather pointed at both ends. 
It bears a full plump kernel brownish yellow in color, and very highly flav¬ 
ored, the tree is a strong vigorous grower and on account of its beautiful 
foliage is very attractive as an ornamental tree, as well as for its commercial 
value. We highly recommend the planting of this variety.
