EASTERN VARIETIES OF PECAN TREES 
SUCCESS: This is the most popular 
Eastern variety in Texas. The nut is 
very large and oblong, with plump 
smooth creamy kernels that release per¬ 
fectly from the shell. The tree is healthy 
and prolific and very resistant to scab. 
It ripens just after Stuart. 
SCHLEY: This is the standard of ex¬ 
cellence among pecans. The tree is 
healthy and is making good in the na¬ 
tive pecan belt of Texas, Arkansas and 
Oklahoma in altitudes from 350 to 1,000 
feet. Gaining in popularity and ripens 
early. 
STUART: Stuart is a good bearer and 
the nuts are long and attractive. The 
shell is rather thick, but soft and the 
meats are sweet and brittle. 
DELMAS: The two outstanding vir¬ 
tues of this variety are the beauty and 
prolificness of the tree and size and 
beauty of the nut. Its best range of 
adaptation is Central Texas. Ripens too 
late for most of Oklahoma. 
MOORE: It is very resistant to scab 
and is one of the earliest ripeners in the 
list. It is a good pollinator.

Pollination of Pecans 
If you have a few native pecans among 
your budded pecans they will usually 
take care of your pollination problem. 
Where the orchard is all improved varie¬ 
ties some late pollen shedders and some 
early pollen shedders should be used. 
Early pollen shedders: Western Schley, 
Texas Prolific, Success, Halbert, San 
Saba Improved, Squirrel’s Delight, Moore 
and Onliwon. 
Late pollen shedders: Burkett, Schley, 
Jersey, Delmas, Stuart and Common¬ 
wealth. One tree will furnish enough 
pollen for 10 trees. 
Size of Hole for Pecan Trees 
In ideal pecan soils, use a post-hole 
digger. The hole should be dug to a 
depth of about three feet. In hard soils, 
dig a hole three feet square and three 
feet deep so that the roots can get started 
before reaching the hard soil. 
Distance for Planting Pecans 
35 ft. by 35 ft. gives 35 trees per acre. 
35 ft. by 70 ft. gives 17 trees per acre. 
50 ft. by 50 ft. gives 16 trees per acre. 
60 ft. by 60 ft. gives 12 trees per acre. 
70 ft. by 70 ft. gives 9 trees per acre. 
Size of Pecan Tree to Plant 
The trend each year is to plant larger 
pecan trees. The 4 to 5, 5 to 6, 6 to 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. 
Notice 
We have a few trees of the fol¬ 
lowing varieties of pecans at prices 
quoted above: Odom, Oklahoma and 
Clark. Odom is one of our large 
eastern varieties with extremely 
thin shell and rich kernel. Okla¬ 
homa originated in Oklahoma and 
does well in that section. Clark is 
a medium sized nut. Ripens ex¬ 
tremely early and is a heavy pro¬ 
ducer and regular bearer.
