Mississippi Giant Papershell Pecans 
Tue 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. 
Under other names it is often sold for many times our price by other nurseries. 
In many sections it 1s doing as well as any other varieties. 
Because of the size of the nuts and their paper-thin shells, this pecan brings a 
premium on the retail markets. It is one of the earliest and heaviest producers. 
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.
