The BARTON 
A New Papershell Pecan 
The BARTON, recently released by the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture, is a cross 
between the Success and the Moore varieties. The original cross was made 
by Mr. L. D. Romberg on the farm of Mr. John Barton in Bastrop County, Texas. 
We are glad to add this excellent new pecan to our list of varieties, hoping 
that it will have a permanent place by combining the disease-resistance and pro- 
lificness of the Moore with the size and excellent kernel qualities of the Success, 
its two parents. 
This is the only variety in our list that was created by a man-made, controlled 
cross, one parent being the Moore and the other the Success variety. Most other 
varieties in our list were chance seedlings found growing wild; or seedlings from 
nuts somebody plented, usually to ‘see what kind of a nut would be produced.” 
Barton is excellent for shelling in the home. Its thin shell cracks easily, and 
kernel separates readily. The tree is proving to be a very heavy producer, and 
the nuts ripen rather early. The nut is attractive in both size and markings.

We reserve the right to limit the number sold to a single customer to two 
trees. Within one or two years, our production should be sufficient to 
supply large numbers, and the price will be lower, of course. 
NEW VARIETIES 
- 44 Preview of “Things to Come - 
These new varieties are 
under observation and 
no trees or buds are 
available. 
Not quite as large as il- 
lustrated, but a whopper 
with a good kernel inside. 
Seems unusually good for 
so large a nut. 
Nearly as large as Ma- 
han, but fills out better 
and more cold-resistant. 
Early, heavy producer. 
Probably ready to distri- 
bute Fall, 1955. 
An outstanding nut bred by 
O. S. Gray Jr. and the late 
J. A. Evans, who crossed the 
Success and Ideal varieties. 
Note extremely thin shell and 
smooth attractive kernel. Tests 
66% kernel as compared to 
about 48% in Stuart. 
“Mr. Jumbo” itself for when 
30 nuts weigh a pound, they 
are reaching for the record! 
The Grayway Is the Best Way!!
