One is to depend on seedlings. If really choice nuts are planted there is a reasonable prospect of securing trees bearing somewhat similar nuts, and many follow this plan. The other is to de- pend on budded or grafted trees instead of seedlings. There is also a division of opinion as to the advisa- bility of planting the nuts where the trees are to stand and 'rearing them for a year or more in a nursery. Both ways are good, but each has its advantages. If the formerof these plans is followed, then twoor three nuts should be planted where each tree is to stand and a cedar or cypress stake driven at the spot. Pine stakes are said to induce worms to attack the little pecan trees. A still safer plan is to enclose the little seedlings in narrow boxes about afoot high, made of cypress boards. This secures them from the depredations of rabbits, which sometimes prove very destructive. By this plan there is no labor or danger of loss bv transplanting.
