As a result ot our 35 years of actual successful experience with pecan growing, we recommend 
the following varieties: 
STUART is very widely adapted to soil and climatic conditions, andhas long been a favorite with 
growers and buyers. It is quite hardy, and is a consistant producer of large, soft-shelled, good 
quality nuts. Size of nut about 1 3-4” long by 1” in diameter and runs about 45 perpound. The 
standard nut of the Pecan-growing industry. 
MONEYMAKER is extremely hardy and a very prolific variety, ripening about 2 weeks ahead of 
Stuart. Kernels are golden color, firm and rich. This variety is a favorite with orchardists, many 
of whom say it nets more money than Stuart. Size of nut about 1 1-4” long by 1” in diameter, 
and runs about 55 per pound. Shell thickness about same as Stuart. 
SUCCESS is a very prolific producer of nuts between size of Stuart and Moneymaker, but some- 
what thinner shell than either. Kernel very plump, rich, and firm, quality excellent. This nut 
should be planted on very fertile land, because it often sets extremely heavy crops of nuts. Very 
heavy pollen producer, and may sometimes aid other varieties to set fruit, The SUCCESS, 
MONEYMAKER and STUART appear to be best adapted to Northern N. C., Va., and other north- 
ernmost reaches of the Southern Pecan Belt. 
MASTERPIECE is extremely prolific, and often sets 7-nut clusters of giant nuts. This variety is 
possibly the largest pecan in the world, sometimes reaching the size of 2 3-4" long by 1” in diam- 
eter. Selected nuts have weighed 33 to 35 per pound. Shells are quite thin, quality good to 
excellent. It should, like the Success, be planted on extra fertile land and kept “well fed” Re- 
quires about 2 weeks longer growing season than Stewart. Every home planting should have 
several of these trees, provided soil and climate are suitable. Heavy producer of pollen. 
SCHLEY produces highest quality kernel nut and thinnest shell of all, and is good bearer in up- 
land or dry climates; however, this variety often requires spraying to mature its crops in the 
Southeast. This tree should not be planted in the lowlands, swampy areas, or near the seacoast 
We recommend the use of 1 or two Schleys per home planting, in the right climate. 
PECAN TREES ARE AN ABSOLUTE NECESSITY, in our opinion, to everyone who owns a home 
or farm in the South. Remember, you are planting for pleasure, for profit, for protection. Money 
grows on pecan trees—plant, fertilize, cultivate—take care of them and they will take care of you 
and of future generations.
