Quinces 
These succeed best in strong, clay soils, in special localities, and in the Piedmont section. They can be 
grown in bush form. Being somewhat subject to leaf-blight, the trees should be sprayed with Bordeaux 
Mixture before the buds swell, repeating the spraying throughout the summer at intervals, as necessary. 
However, in some situations, Quinces seem to be free of blight.

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

I. X. L. A desirable California variety. Sturdy, up¬ 
right grower; nut large; soft shell; heavy bearer.

can, but command a ready sale. Does well in this 
locality. Bears early and freely. 
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.

Pecans 
Where soil and climatic conditions are proper, it has been practically demonstrated that Pecan-growing 
is a paying 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, this shell, 
easy-cracking quality, 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 localitions. 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 00 ft. apart, according to soil, but this must be good; although the 
Pecan adapts itself to a great variety of soils — the ri h alluvial soil of the river bottom and the high land 
of the sandy pine levels. The Pecan grows well on andy 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, frrtil- 
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 aioii 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. 
When 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 I 
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.
