and shapely, with graceful arches, leafing out fully in hot June and 
retaining its foliage until well into Fall, when heavy crops of delicious 
nuts may be harvested. Indeed, this tree offers the ultimate in a 
combination of shade and fruit! Deeply-rooted, it offers almost un-

once a tree is well established, ‘“‘It lives forever.” George Washington 
planted pecan trees that are still growing at Mt. Vernon. And foresters 
tell us that there are pecan trees NOW PRODUCING in the rich delta 
of the Mississippi that were bearing nuts when COLUMBUS LANDED 
IN AMERICA! 
PECAN PRODUCTION ties in well with farm activities. Besides 
the beneficial and beautiful shade the trees afford, they may be mu- 
tually beneficial in poultry, cattle, and hog raising. Pecans may be 
interplanted with peaches, pears, plums, or other fruits, and the fruit- 
trees taken out after they have become unproductive. Pecan orchards 
may be successfully interplanted with cotton, corn, or truck, and only
