NEW 
VARIETIES 
These are a few of the new varieties 
we believe will produce unusual results 
— and which we can safely recommend 
for extensive trial. 
Three new pecans, Coy, Tissue Paper, 
and Johnson, Mature perfectly in 
Southern Kansas where. they originated. 
There is a definite need for more good 
varieties that will mature properly north 
of Central Oklahoma where frost catches 
some. 
COY —Slightly larger than Tissue Pa- 
per. One of the most attractive nuts, 
in bulk, that we have seen. Excellent 
kernel that comes out clean. 


| TISSUE PAPER —One_ of _ thinnest 
shells: sweet, oily and fine flavor — a 
beautiful meat. Original tree said to be 
a good producer, with record of bearing 
every year. 
Mm, 
JOHNSON — Also from Southeastern 
Kansas. A very heavy producer that srip- 
ens early in September. A long, slender 
nut.

’ THE NEW 
BRAKE 
PECAN 


If there could be such a thing as a 
perfect pecan, this must be the nearest 
thing to it yet produced. Extraordinarily 
thin Shell, about the same thickness as 
an eggshell. Regular shape. Smooth 
plump kernels, 60% to 66% ‘of total 
weight. We have never seen its equal in 
cracking-out qualities. Bears 2 to 5 nuts 
per cluster. Very regular fruiter, early 
producer. [ 
The first patented pecan, introduced by 
Mr. Wm. Brake, Rocky Mount, North 
Carolina. We have exclusive distribution 
of this wonderful pecan for the South- 
west. 

Cup awarded to Brake for 
“Best Shelling Pecan''—1934.
