Wolfe’s Nursery — Stephenville, Texas 
Plant Thrifty Trees 
If yon plan to start a pecan orchard it pays to buy thrifty trees Jike the ones I grow. 
It is very difficult to grow a stunted tree into a fast growing tree in the orchard. 
Trees I Grow 
The trees in my nursery are grown from special seed which produce thrifty and fast 
growing trees. They are grown, dug and packed in the most approved manner. 
Soil Inspection 
If you are in doubt as to whether or not the land you have is good pecan or peach 
soil, I will be glad to inspect your land for you. By all means, do not plant a com¬ 
mercial orchard of pecans unless you know you have a good pecan soil. You can 
grow pecan trees in any yard where other trees will grow if you will give them water.

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.
