Many people fail to realize that it only requires a very small 
amount of money to purchase enough good pecan trees to plant a 
splendid orchard. From 12 to 17 trees are sufficient and Wolfe can 
supply good, first-class, WELL-ROOTED trees, with an established 
reputation and record for LIVING, GROWING AND PRODUCING, for 
as little as $1.40 each and up, depending, of course, on the size you 
wish to start with. A few dollars spent for good Pecan trees, and a 
reasonable amount of care after they have been planted, will be 
good OLD AGE INSURANCE. Put NATURE to work for you—partici- 
pate in the pleasurable PROFIT that the owners of Pecan orchards 
enjoy.

Y STUART. The Stuart comes nearer to being well suited to all sec- 
tions of the country and all soils than any other variety. It is a good 
producer and a hardy, fast growing tree. The meat is sweet and brit- 
tle. It is one of the earliest ripening of all the large standard pecans. 
Y EASTERN SCHLEY. This is the standard of excellence among pe- 
cans. The tree is healthy and it has made an excellent production 
record in the native pecan belts of Texas, Arkansas and Oklahoma 
in altitudes from 350 to 1,000 feet. Ripens early. 
V SUCCESS. This most popular Eastern variety is in demand. The nut 
is very large and oblong, with plump, smooth, creamy kernels that 
release perfectly from the thin soft shell. The tree is a vigorous grower 
and resistant to scab. It ripens after Stuart. 
v DELMAS. Delmas is a beauty and makes good our saying that 
“MONEY DOES GROW ON TREES.” It is a heavy producing tree and 
the large nuts are first class eating. Adapted to Central Texas. We 
grow only varieties that will pay you.

PECANS—SUCCESS 
A Few Simple Suggestions to Help You 
Plan Your Orchard—How to Plant It and 
Distance for Planting... 
POLLINATION OF PECANS 
Where you do not have native pecans it is better to plant some early 
pollen-shedding varieties with late pollen-shedding varieties to insure 
perfect pollination. Western Schley, Success, San Saba Improved 
and Squirrels Delight shed their pollen early. Burkett, Delmas, Schiey, 
Stuart and Mahan shed their pollen late. 
SIZE OF HOLE FOR PECANS 
In ideal pecan soils, use a post-hole digger, making the hole 10 
inches wide and from 3 to 3% feet deep. In hard soils dig a hole 3 feet 
square and 3 feet deep so that the roots can get started before reach- 
ing the hard soil. 
DISTANCE FOR PLANTING PECAN TREES 
35 ft. by 35 ft. gives 35 trees per acre. 
40 ft. by 40 ft. gives 27 trees per acre. 
35 ft. by 70 ft. gives 17 trees per acre. 
50 ft. by 50 ft. gives 16 trees per acre. 
60 fi. by 60 ft. gives 12 trees per acre.
