“ MADAM X 
A TRULY GREAT PECAN 
Madame X. Really the first name for Mahan 
The most profitable pecan we have in our orchard. Many other pecan growers report the same 
thing. It has a few defects but on land that suits it will out-sell all other nuts. The trees grow fast 
and even grow straight in the nursery. The leaves are large, making it a fine ornamental tree on 
any lawn. Bears great clusters of nuts. A good three to four foot tree transplanted will often bear a 
crop of nuts the third year. Sells higher on the market than any other. The nuts are never injured 
by the bug that causes the black spots on the kernel and so far has shown no scab in our orchard, 
EASTERN SCHLEY 
Grows best on low land and rather tardy coming 
into bearing. The nuts are long, thin shelled. 
pretty and a winner if you happen to have the land 
that will produce them. 
: Western Schley 
Medium large, long nut. Delicious meat, fine for 
both home consumption and commercial use. Trees 
not quite as vigorous as the Madame X but in 
some sections the Western Schley is the leading 
pecan. 
~ Stuart Pecan 
A large oblong pecan, medium hard shell which I 
find has its qualities as the meat doesn’t become 
old as quickly as do the thin shelled meats. The 
Stuart is an old pecan and we quit growing it for 
a few years but the past two or three years it has 
borne such good nuts and heavily that they are 
again in demand. In Louisiana the Stuart pecan is 
a must in pecan line, 
“ Success 
A large, nearly round nut running from 45 to 50 
to the pound, thin shelled and separates well from 
the shell, Doing well on bottom land near Stephen- 
ville and good for planting in the east.
