Varieties for More Northern Sections 
For Northwest Texas, Western, Central and Northern Oklahoma, 
Northerg Arkansas, Kansas and Missouri, it is important to have 
varieties that mature early—ahead of frost. 
Northwest Texas and Western Oklahoma 
We suggest Squirrel's Delight, Western Schley, Number Sixty 
and San Saba Improved as some of the best. 
Central and Northern Oklahoma 
Stuart, Squirrel's Delight, San Saba Improved, Number Sixty, 
Success and Schley. We call attention also to Coy, Tissue Paper 
and Johnson that originated in Southeastern Kansas; and to the 
Major and Green River, two Kentucky varieties that have been 
doing well in Northern Oklahoma.

“He who plants a GRAYWAY Paper- yards, for the pecan will provide both

pleasant hours and food for those who 
pass that way." 
A few trees certainly make a big dif- 
ference in the appearance of a home, 
don't they? No wonder we love trees 
so much! They do so much for us in so 
many ways. In fact, the heme that lacks b 
the framing of a few beautiful trees y- 
seems somewhat ''naked,'' while the one 
with just a few trees is transformed into 
a most inviting and lovely «place. 
The Pecan is one of the most beauti- 
ful and long-lived of trees, valuable not 
only because of its shapely form and 
long life, but also for its delightful, nu- 
tritious nuts. The food value of pecans 
is well known, but do you know that a 
single pound of pecan meats has ap- 
proximately the same amount of food 
value or energy as four pounds of beef? 
The wild birds, wild animals and In- 
dians knew well the nutritive value of 
the pecan. Both the squirrel and the 
indian stored them for winter food sup- 
ply. 
SHADE TREES THAT PAY 
DIVIDENDS 
The pecan is the only tree we know 
of that will actually PAY you for setting 
it out. It will repay you every penny 
you put into it and then continue to pay 
dividends in cash (if you sell the nut 
crop) year after year—yes, long after the 
planter has departed from the scene. We 
have a friend who gathered more than 
1,000 pounds of fine papershell pecans 
from his yard shade trees. Most homes in 
the pecan belt can grow a valuable part 
of their food supply on GRAYWAY

PAPERSHELL PECAN VARIETIES 
Many customers select their varieties and write us to change them if they 
Use the map as a general guide in choosing between Eastern (E) and 
Western (W) varieties. Area ''E-W"' is most difficult. In general use east- 
ern varieties in lowlands and western in uplands in area ‘'E-W."' 
Pecan Varieties Should Be Chosen for a 
Definite Purpose 
Too many people have selected their pecan varieties for only one thing; 
namely, ‘'size."' As a result, many inferior pecans have been planted, as some 
of the largest varieties, such as Nelson and Mahan, two of the largest, are 
good examples of nuts that have been notoriously poor fillers in our territory. 
We make a constant study of the actual performance of pecan varieties in 
bearing orchards in our territory so that we can give the very best suggestion 
to our customers in their choice of the most profitable kinds. 
Kansas, Missouri and North Arkansas 
The Coy, Tissue Paper and Johnson, originating in Southeastern 
Kansas; and the Major and Green River, originating in Kentucky, 
certainly should be more widely used for plantings. Among our 
standard sorts, the Stuart seems about as good as any, but 
there isn't much actual information about pecans in these areas, 
although there are thousands of native pecans along many of the 
streams, indicating the possibility of commercial development 
with proper varieties. 
Importance of Tonnage-Yield 
The largest and finest pecan in the world is worthless com- 
mercially unless it will bear good crops. From a money-making 
standpoint, a variety that will give a high yield is of utmost 
importance. The heavy-yielding varieties, not the shy-bearers, 
will continue to be the most profitable. 
EARLY PRODUCTION is also an important item. We know 
an orchard just 9 years from transplanting, from which over 
6,000 pounds per acre have been harvested Jorn the early bear- 
ing variety Moore, whereas less than 400 pounds per acre have 
been gotten from the late bearing variety in the same field.
