We are testing about forty of the most promising varieties of 
pecans. The following we consider among the best of these: 
CURTIS. A very thin-shelled nut with sweet meat of excellent flavor. 
An old variety which has quite recently come back into favor. 
Supply of trees limited. 
FROTSCHER. A large, thin-shelled nut, which has been widely 
planted. Placed by some at head of list of profitable varieties. 
MONEYMAKER. An early and prolific bearer, and a healthy, 
vigorous grower. It is proving a very profitable commercial variety. 
MOORE. Nut of medium size; a vigorous and healthy grower; very 
early and prolific bearer. 
NELSON. This is probably the largest pecan grown. It is a strong, 
vigorous grower, and an early and abundant bearer. Thick-shelled. 
PABST. A safe nut to plant. While not quite as large as some of 
the above, it is a good bearer and one can hardly make a mistake 
in setting it. 
SCHLEY. This variety is placed by some at the head of the list. 
It is a large, thin-shelled nut of fine flavor and is well filled with 
meat. Liable to scab near the coast. In quality of meat and thin¬ 
ness of shell it is surpassed by no other variety. 
STUART. An old favorite that has been widely tested. This is a 
variety that can be planted with safety and succeeds over a wider 
territory than probably any other kind. 
SUCCESS. This is a pecan of fine flavor. Originating in Mississippi, 
it has been widely disseminated during the last few years. 
TECHE. Another old variety which popular demand has brought 
back into nursery production. A medium-sized, prolific variety of 
good quality. Most popular variety in the Albany, Ga., section. 
Supply of trees limited.

Pecan Nursery Features 
The success of the orchard is determined by the 
character of the transplanted tree. A runt in the 
nursery never grows into a giant in the orchard. 
It is, therefore, important to begin with the best 
obtainable nursery stock. The following distinctive 
features characterize our nursery practice. 
1. The stock determines, to a great extent, the vigor 
and fruitfulness of the future orchard. We have found 
what seems to be the best for this purpose, a budded 
variety which produces an exceptionally strong and 
prolific orchard tree. These nuts are used in growing 
stocks for budding purposes. 
2. Our trees are not dug and “heeled” in to await 
a customer. This and other precautions account for 
the promptness with which they generally grow off 
when carefully transplanted. 
3. While well grown, our nursery trees are not 
over-stimulated by applications of excessive quan¬ 
tities of fertilizers. 
4. To transplant successfully, a pecan tree should 
have a good lateral root system. Trees grown on 
sandy soil usually have an abnormally large tap 
root with few well-developed laterals. Being grown 
on a stiffer soil than that generally used for growing 
pecan trees, our nursery stock is the equal of any 
and superior to most. 
5. There is no nut grass in our nursery. 
6. A tree with an older root than 4 vears (most of 
our trees have 3-year 
roots) is never sent out. 
If a tree hasn’t sufficient 
vigor by that time to be 
marketable, it is dug up 
and burned. The setting 
of dwarfish trees with 
roots 5 to 6 years old 
accounts for the failure 
of many pecan orchards. 
7. The experience of 
most orchardists is that 
a budded tree is better 
than a grafted one. In 
particular it is less sub¬ 
ject to winter-killing. 
This being the case, we 
have entirely discarded 
grafting. The chief rea¬ 
son why many nursery¬ 
men still adhere to graft¬ 
ing is because a tree can 
be grown more cheaply 
by grafting than by 
budding. 
Our first aim 
is to produce 
trees that will 
give satisfac- 
t i o n when 
transferred to 
the orchard, 
and then to 
sell them at 
reasonable 
prices.
