PEARS 
Pyrus 
After the second year, Pears should not be cultivated, but the 
GROUND ALLOWED TO BECOME HARD. They should not be 
fertilized with NITROGEN, but with POTASH fertilizer only. 
In order to have the fruit good to eat fresh, it should be GATH- 
ERED GREEN, several weeks before the ripening period. When 
gathering, care should be taken AGAINST BRUISING. Each pear 
should be wrapped separately and placed on shelves in a warm even 
temperature. As they soften, they are juicy and delicious, and will 
keep this way for several months.

PECANS 
There are pecans and PECANS! The Paper Shell Pecans are 
THE PECANS! They are the ones that should BE PLANTED, for 
they are just as productive as the thick-shell varieties, but bring 
higher prices. The industry is no longer speculative nor experi- 
mental, FOR THE OLD PLANTERS. the reliable nurserymen, and 
the state experiment stations have made careful investigations, 
learning which types of soil are the most suitable, the best methods 
of propagation, and which varieties give the BEST RETURNS. All 
of these facts are available to the novice who is considering THE 
PLANTING of a pecan orchard. 

Bante Shell Pecan Nut 
Notwithstanding the fact that Pecan Orchards have been planted 
heavily throughout the South for a number of years, and there are 
MANY THOUSANDS OF ACRES now bearing, the outlook is even 
brighter at present than AT ANY TIME heretofore. Those who en- 
gaged in the industry in the 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 give them excellent care and attention. 
Without this proper attention, it is impossible to expect good results. 
Time of Bearing 
The time of bearing depends upon the care given and the method 
of fertilizing. It is better to have the tree make a good, sturdy 
growth and attain fair size before it bears; then the method of care 
should be changed so as to produce short twigs upon which the nut 
clusters are borne. This can be done by decreasing the amount of 
nitrogen and adding potash. 
BIG “Z” 
Strong, upright grower, making a rounded head. The pick of all 
varieties for the lower coastal section. The Big ‘‘Z’’ bears twice as 
many nuts as any of the old standard varieties in the same grove. 
It is the only large nut we have observed which bears regularly. 
The size averages 38 to 40 to the pound. Shell is thin, partitions 
fbi, appearance fine, kernel rich, yellow. Very early and prolific 
bearer. 
STUART 
Tree is decidedly strong, upright grower. Nuts are medium to 
large. Planted more generally than any other variety. Very hardy. 
SUCCESS 
Tree is sturdy, vigorous grower, making a broad, full head. 
Nuts are large, almost round, some larger at the stem end. 
Shell is of average thickness. Fills well and of good quality. Success- 
ful over a wide area.

ORCHARD PLANTING 
The land that will produce the best farm crops will also produce 
the best orchards. Rolling, well drained lands are best for all varie- 
ties of fruits. 
No home, large or 
small is complete ° 
without an assort- 
ment of Fruit Trees. 
We are giving our 
suggestions for the 
arrangement of an 
orchard planting to 
give the greatest 
number of Trees in a 
small acreage. 
A few fruit Trees, 
properly selected, 
planted and well car- 
ed for, will produce 
enough fruit for the 
average family, with 
some to sell.
