of the Western list. It is also doing well on high 
ground in East Texas. Medium to large size, 
fills well, good flavor, and prolific. 55 per cent 
meat.

OKLAHOMA 
Mother tree, Ardmore, Oklahoma. Large nut 
with shape much like the Delmas. Thin shell. 
About forty to the pound. A heavy producer. 
The tree is rugged, with drooping or willowy 
branches. Matures rather late. We believe this 
will prove to be a good variety for Texas. 46 
per cent meat.

Very similar to Eastern Schley, except that it 
thrives better in the drier climate and higher 
altitudes of the West. A very fine nut for the 
West. 60 per cent meat. 
WESTERN SCHLEY 
~~ MEYHAN 
The biggest Pecan grown. Looks like Western 
Schley, except much larger. This is an Eastern var- 
iety. A very virorous growing tree with splendid 
long slender nuts. It is a first class pecan with a 
richly flavored kernel. The nut is about 214 inches 
long—average about 31 nuts to the pound. Lux- 
uriantly foliaged shade tree anywhere. 
Plant More Than One Variety 
Whether you consider planting 5 trees or 5 acres, be sure that you plant two or more varie- 
ties, thereby insuring against the loss of a crop in case weather conditions are unfavorable at 
at blooming time. Different varieties blooming at slightly different times safeguard your crop 
by giving better pollination.
