PECAN 
TREES 
Pecans have become an important and popular crop 
in many parts of the South. The trees are attractive 
and well shaped and most satisfactory for producing 
shade. They grow fast and begin to produce nuts in 
about five years. 
Trees should be spaced about 50 feet apart. They 
succeed in sandy loam or light clay but not in sour 
or poorly drained locations. They deserve good 
cultivation and fertilization, for they are long lived, 
productive and very profitable. Cotton, potatoes or 
melons may be planted between the trees until they 
start to bear nuts; then it is well to plant a cover crop 
such as soy beans, vetch or clover and turn it under. 
PECAN—OFFICIAL STATE TREE OF 
TEXAS : 
A giant, early-bearing 
pecan with thin shell. 
The nut is the largest 
and the shell the thin- 
nest of all pecans we 
have tested. Sometimes 
trees begin to bear when 
only 4 to 5 feet tall and 
two years old, although / 
this is a better record™ 
than average. Mahan 
is a new variety that 
will be hard to beat. 
THOMAS BLACK WALNUTS 
Bears very young, often the second or third year 
after planting. Nuts are of immense size and have 
delicious flavor. Thin shells and large kernels that 
come out easily because they are so large and plump. 
Grown in almost every state. Very hardy and a fast 
grower.
