PECANS 
Because the nuts are so rich 
in required food-elements and 
so palatable, the Pecan has be- 
come an essential part of fruit 
orchards for home use through- 
out the South. In addition, 
large numbers of commercial 
plantings have been made, and 
these are increasing yearly. 
The varieties of Pecans we list 
are well tried and favorably 
known. The trees are vigorous 
and well grown.

countries, and great quantities of dried Figs 
come to the United States. 
Every garden can have at 
least one Fig tree, which 
ought to be the early-bearing 
Celeste. If you have a larger 
place, select two or three 
later varieties (see page 33). 
Fig trees grow readily and 
need only a little attention. 
Mulching is desirable, as it 
keeps the soil and roots cool 
and moist. 
EXCELSIOR 
PLUM 
This variety was intro- 
duced by Mr. Taber-in 1887. 
Experienced fruit-growers 
put Excelsior at the top of the 
Plum list; therefore home- 
garden owners may expect 
equally good results. The 
fruit ripens early in June, is a 
bright wine-red, 2 inches or 
more in diameter, with lots of 
juice and a real Plum flavor. 
If you like Plums, plant 
Excelsior. See page 33.
