Nut-Bearing Trees 
Almonds 
Almonds can be successfully grown in some sections 
of the South, but, owing to their early blooming pe¬ 
riods, the fruit is sometimes killed by late spring frosts. 
The Almond requires the same cultivation as the Peach.

Walnuts 
ENGLISH OR PERSIAN WALNUTS 
(Juglans Regia.) 
The English Walnut requires a rich, well-drained 
and preferably stony soil. Never plant in hard pan, 
heavy clays, or soils which are not properly drained. 
In some sections of the Eastern and Southern States 
the English Walnut is quite successfully grown. The 
trees we offer are all grown from the best French seed, 
and have been transplanted.

JAPANESE WALNUTS. 
The Japan Walnut succeeds from Massachusetts 
southward. It seems to be particularly successful in 
the Southern States. The tree is very handsome; has 
a large spreading top. It makes a useful as well as a 
very ornamental tree. At 
three 
years 
of age the tree 
commences to bear. 
The 
shells 
are moderately 
thick, 
but the kernels are 
very 
sweet. 
We 
offer two

ties.

medium sized, somewhat resembling the shellbark 
hickory. If cracked longitudinally, the kernel can 
be removed entire. 
Juglans Sie' oldiana. Shaped like the butternut. Shell 
thicker than that of the English Walnut. A hand¬

Pecans 
\\ here soil and climatic conditions are proper, it has been practically demonstrated that Pecan-growing is a 
paynig investment ; but only grafted or budded trees of well-known and meritorious varieties, should be planted, 
and these varieties should have the following qualifications: Large size, good flavor, thin shell, easy-cracking qual¬ 
ity, and freedom from disease; furthermore, the purchaser should know that the trees are propagated from 
grafts or buds taken from good, bearing trees. 
It is a well-established fact that some varieties of Pecans, the same as with other fruits, are adapted to 
certain localities, whereas the same varieties are not so good in other locations. It is not yet known which 
variety is adapted to the greatest number of localities. There are scores of varieties now cultivated and new 
sorts are being advertised every year, but a half-dozen of the best tested and well-known sorts would be 
amply sufficient for any commercial grower. 
Pecans should be planted from 50 to 60 ft. apart, according to soil, but this must be good; although the 
Pecan adapts itself to a great variety of soils—the rich alluvial soil of the river bottom and the high land 
of the sandy pine levels. The Pecan grows well on sandy land having a clay sub-soil, but it will not flourish 
in deep sand. Never set a Pecan in pipe clay land, or that which is not well drained. If the land sours the 
tree will die or will be so badly injured that it will never give satisfactory results. If you expect to get 
good results from your Pecans the trees must receive the proper care and attention as to cultivation, fertil¬ 
ization and pruning. If you do not propose to follow these directions better leave Pecans alone. 
The best time for transplanting Pecans is just as soon as the trees are thoroughly matured in the fall, 
and the transplanting can be safely done until March. The land between the rows can be planted for several 
years in Cotton, Peas. Potatoes. Melons or any hoed crop. Never plant small grain in the Pecan orchard. 
AN hen the trees have reached the bearing stage it is advisable to plant a cover crop of Peas, Soy Beans, 
Vetch, or Clover, and turn these under at the proper time. 
The Pecan is long lived. Budded and grafted trees, if given the proper attention, will begin to bear 5 
years after being set out, but paying results cannot be expected of the trees before 8 years of age. A 10 year 
old tree should produce from 15 to 20 pounds of nuts. 
For fungus diseases and insects injurious to the Pe.^an, see page 5. 
Directions for Handling and Transplanting Pecans. 
Take great care in preventing the roots of trees from becoming dry bv being exposed to the weather. Keep 
the roots moist and covered at all times. When taking the trees to the field for setting, thev must be carefully 
covered with moss, wet sacks or something similar, to protect them from drying out. This is important. Only 
one tree should be removed at a time, and this set at once in the hole previously dug. The hole must be at least
