LOUISIANA PAPER-SHELL. Grown from extra 
large nuts averaging from 60 to 60 to the pound. 
These nuts are taken from 4 isolated trees in Louisi¬ 
ana. For sixteen years our seedlings have been grown 
from the above treesexclusively. Their flowers being 
thus fertilized will reproduce at the rate of from 60 to 
80 per cent. Seedlings grown from nuts gathered 
from promiscuous trees in groves vary greatly in size 
and quality. The market price of large Paper-Shell 
Nuts ranges from 50 cents to 75 cents per pound for 
nuts running50 to 60 to the pound, whereas the small 
hard-shell nuts can be secured for from 5 cents to 6 
oents per pound.

PRIDE OF THE COAST. (Synonyms: Colum¬ 
bian. Mammoth, Rome). Originated in Louisiana. 
Nut frequently two inches in length; shell moder¬ 
ately thin; delicate flavor. Tree a very vigorous 
grower. Nuts will run from 24 to 32 to pound. 
The cultivation of the Pecan is being rapidly in¬ 
creased. After the trees are sufficiently large they sel¬ 
dom fail to produce annually a large and regular 
crop, and are a source of much revenue after they 
have attained the bearing age which varies from 
seven to ten years after planting. Pecans can be suc¬ 
cessfully grown as far North as Iowa; its natural dis¬ 
tribution includes over 15 degrees. Any land producing 
a good growth of hard woods, such as oak, hickory, etc. is 
fitted for the profitable production of this nut, but the 
moist and sandy lands of the river and creek bottoms, 
subject to occasional overflow, are particularly adapted’ 
to this tree. 
The trees should be set from 40 to 50 feet apart; dig the 
holes at least 2 feet square, and fill in with top soil and 
well-decomposed stable manure; mix this thoroughly 
with the soil. Plant one or two-year old trees. It has 
been practically demonstrated thatitis advisable to cut 
off a part of the tap-root, as this causes the root to 
branch, thus giving more food to the tree, and at the 
same time giving it a firmer hold upon the land. 
Keep the trees thoroughly cultivated and free from 
grass and weeds. The land between the rows can be 
planted for several years in cotton, crimson clover, vege¬ 
tables, etc. Caterpillars are frequently very trouble¬ 
some ; at the first appearance destroy these by burning the 
web with a torch on a pole. If very abundantspray with 
Paris Green or arsenate of lead. The “twig girdler” is 
also sometimes very destructive. As soon as the girdled 
limbs fall to the ground, gather and burn ; this will pre¬ 
vent the larva) from hatching.
