ississippi Giant Papershell Pecans 
HE Mississippi Giant pecan is no doubt the largest papershell pecan in the 
world. F. A. Mahan, of Monticello, Florida, is said to have paid $5,000.00 for 
the parent tree at Kosciusko, Miss. The trees are sold under many different names, 
such as Mississippi Giant, Florida Giant, Mehan, Mayhan, Mayhand, Mahan, etc. In 
many sections it is doing as well as any of the other varieties, and because of the 
size of the nuts, and their paper-thin shells, this variety brings a premium on the 
retail markets. This new variety is very rapid-growing, with large and beautiful 
green foliage. The shell of the pecan is thin, easily crushed in one’s hands, and the 
meat is large, easily extracted whole, with a fine rich nutty flavor that is very 
distinctive. It is one of the earliest and heaviest producers of all the pecan varities. 
Under other names it is often sold for many times our price by other nurseries.
