My four year olds are the 
talk of the community. As I write this in late July these young 
trees are laden with clusters of the largest pecans I ever saw. 
These clusters have from 5 to 9 nuts to the cluster. Only this 
afternoon I counted on one small limb 32 fast maturing Mahans. 

My two year olds are bearing some, but my four year olds as 
stated above are the pride of my orchard.

mighty good to you on your place, especial- 
ly when you see the giant clusters each 
fall, looking almost like small bunches of 
bananas. And you won’t have to wait 
long to see these giant nuts on your trees 
either. Mahan trees are just naturally 
early bearers, and only take two cr three 
years to start giving you crops.

The BEST is usually the cheapest in 
the long run, and this is especially true 
in pecans. Once established they will be 
there for the rest of your life, making 
crops that are worth more or less accord- 
ing to the variety you have. START 
RIGHT with MAHANS and you'll profit 
the most.

photo of two clusters of MAHAN pecans, with an average egg. The very 
heavy crops MAHAN trees produce are the result of a large number of 
nuts to the cluster, (Note 6 in one cluster, 9 in the other), and of the giant 
size of the nuts themselves. 
It takes only 33 average MAHAN nuts to 
weigh one pound as compared to 48 to 72 nuts of other improved varieties. 
In addition to being a giant in size, the MAHAN has such a thin shell 
that it cracks almost as-easily as a peanut, and is chock full of rich, de- 
licious meat. For home use it is unexcelled, and for commercial plantings 
the greatest profit producer we have found in over 30 years in the Pecan 
business.
