Mississippi Giant Papershell Pecans 
HE Mississippi Giant Papershell Pecan is no doubt the largest papershell pecan 
in the world. $5000 was paid for the parent tree at Kosciusko, Miss., by F. A. 
Mahan of Monticello, Fla. It is sold under several names such as Mississippi Giant, 
Florida Giant, Mayhan, Mahand, Mahan, etc. This new variety is a very fast grow- 
ing tree with large beautiful foliage. The shell is very thin—easily crushed in one’s 
hands—and the meat is large, easily extracted whole, with a fine, rich and nutty 
flavor. It is one of the earliest and heaviest bearers of all pecan varieties. For years 
this pecan has been highly advertised over the radio by Mr. Mahan, and sold at 
much higher prices than we charge. 
Many Other Varieties of Pecans 
Here in our 1500 acre orchards of bearing pecans we grow and are now testing 
the following varieties of papershell pecans: 
Smart Success, Schley, Mississippi Giant, Lewis, Nelson, Moneymaker, Frots- 
cher’s Eggshell, Bass Papershell, Wan Deman, Natchez, Pabst, Delmas, Forkett, 
Dependable, Hale, Davis, Burkett, Big Z, Hollis, President, Squirrels’ Delight, 
Climax, Longfellow, Texas Prolific, Oliver, Russell, Kincade, and a number of 
varieties yet unnamed. So far, in our tests, the three kinds we describe and offer to 
sell have proved superior and more worthy of your planting.
