GIANT MAHAN—Perhaps the largest of all 
papershell pecan varieties. Sometimes 3 fill out very well, but nuts look like ba- 
inches long; thin shell, vigorous grower nanas hanging on tree. (25c extra per 
and a heavy producer. Usually does not tree). 
The “BIG 7” 
Papershell Pecan Varieties 
These seven Papershell Pecan varieties include those upon which is based very 
largely the Papershell Pecan Growing Industry in the entire Southern and South- 
western United States. Other kinds are grown, of course: and some of these will 
undoubtedly give way to newer varieties in the future. In choosing from these seven, 
you are selecting from varieties that have been grown for several years and have 
stood the test of time and experience. As promising new varieties appear, we will 
add them to our list. 
~. DESIRABLE—One of the largest. Ex- 
cellent cracker; early bearing; prom- 
ises to be one of heaviest producers; 
thinner shell than Success. 
CHOOSING PECAN VARIETIES 
WESTERN VARIETIES. Burkett, Western Schley and 
San Saba improved should be used only in Area 
‘W” and on the higher grounds, out of river bot- 
toms, in area marked “E-W”. 
EASTERN VARIETIES. Stuart, Success, Desirable 
and Mahan are used throughout the South and 
Southwest, all areas. 
Stuart is the safest variety north of Oklahoma City 
and Little Rock. Use earliest maturing varieties 
where frost comes early in the fall. 
“SAN SABA IMPROVED — Medium 
size, nearly 60% kernel. Highest 
quality. Heavy, early producer, early 
ripener. We also have limited num- 
ber of two similar varieties, CLARK 
and NUMBER SIXTY. \
