PLANT PECANS 
FOR SHADE 
AND NUTS 
There are pecans and PECANS! The Paper Shell Pe¬ 
cans arc THE PECANS They -arc the ones that should 
DE PLANTED, for they are jus: as productive as the thick- 
shell varieties, but bring higher prices. The industry is no 
longer speculative nor experimental, FOR TF1E OLD 
PLANTERS, the reliable nurserymen, and the state ex¬ 
periment stations have made careful investigations, learning 
wmen types ot soil are the most suitable, the best methods 
of propagation, and which varieties give the LEST RE¬ 
TURNS. All of these facts are available to the novice who 
is considering THE PLANTING of a pecan orchard. 
Notwithstanding the fact that Pecan Orchards have been planted heavily 
throughout the South for a number of years, and there are MANY THOU¬ 
SANDS OF ACHES now bearing, the outlook is even brighter at present than 
AT ANY TIME heretofore. Those who engaged in the industry in tho early 
days are reaping rich rewards. 
CULTIVATE WELL AND GET RESULTS 
We cannot too firmly advocate cultivation of nut trees. If you want the 
best results. It Is imperative that you fertilize, spray, and cultivate your 
trees well and Five them excellent care and auentiuii. Without this proper 
attention, it is impossible to expect good results. 
Time cf Bearing 
The time of bearing depends upon the care given and the method cf 
fertilizing. It is better to have the tree make a good, sturdy growth ar.d 
attain fair size before it bears; then tho method of care should be changed 
te as to produce short twigs upon which the nut clusters are borne. This 
•an be dene by decreasing the amount cf nitrogen and adding potash. 
CURTIS 
Ter. 1 and 2. Of Florida Origin. Makes a beautiful rapid growing tree, 
ft is a heavy bearer of very thin shelled, medium-sized nuts of highest 
quality. Kernel plump and richest in quality cf any Pecan generally planted. 
We recommend this variety very highly for a few trees around the home or 
•rchard-phmting. Those who know this variety prefer it above all others for 
lte good bearing qualities, plumpness of meat, and thinness of shell. 
MOORE 
Ter. 1 and 2. An amazing producer. Bears heavily and ripcr.s early enough 
to be first on the market. Small, 67 per lb. kernel of good flavor. A 
•plendid cracking Pecan, a profit maker for all who plant it. Fully as re- 
tistant to scab as Success. Provides early pollen for other varieties. 
PLANT LARGE TREES! 
Gather Nuts the First Year! 
It is generally considered that IT TAKES SEVEN YEARS for a 
pecan tree to BEGIN BEARING. This seems A LONG TIME to 
most of us, as >ve Americans are a people of little patience. We like 
to have things done NOW without having to wait. During the past 
few years THERE HAS BEEN an increasing demand for large 
bearing-size Pecan Treps. To meet this demand we have grown a 
number of FINE SPECIMENS in our Nurseries which BEAR REGU¬ 
LAR CROPS of fine paper-shell PECANS. 
BEARING PECAN TREES I 
DIG "Z” 
Ter. 1 and 2. Strong, upright grower, making a rounded head. The peer of 
all varieties for the lower coastal section. The Big "Z” bears twice f.s many 
nuts as any of the old standard varieties in the same grove. It is the only 
large nut we have obsened which bears regularly. The size averages 38 to 40 
to tho pound. Shell is thin, partitions thin, appearance fine, kernel iich> 
yellow. Very early and prolific bearer. 
These large trees, by expert handling and the use of Big 
tree moving equipment, can be dug with the soil about the 
roots and transplanted to a new location where they will 
continue to grow and bear. We have known them to bear 
some the first year after planting.

to large. Hanted more generally than any other variety. Very hardy.
