CULTIVATION and CARE 
of Pecan Trees 
WILL PRODUCE A GROVE LIKE THE ONE PICTURED BELOW 
IN A FEW YEARS 
HE Pecan will stand many degrees of frost but it is primarily a Southern 
tree, needing plenty of summer heat in order to produce the best 
nuts. Many varieties are now in the trade but most of them are use- 
less because of poor yield or climatic restrictions. The varieties that we 
offer are those found to be best adapted to this territory. Growers realize 
the mmportance of gettmmg guaranteed budded trees m varieties suitable for 
their locality. 
In transplanting, It is Important to treat the tap-root carefully, digging 
a hole deep enough, in good soil, well packed. Pecan trees should be planted 
80 feet apart each way in order to give them the space they will eventually 
need. The long lateral roots sent out by the growing trees will all be in the 
upper soil layers, making shallow cultrvation necessary.
