If a good size tree is set and cared for it will usually bear a few nuts the third year and gradually increase in yield each season. By the tenth year you may expect a profitable crop and after this time the increase in yield is rapid. If you do not have space for a Pecan orchard it will pay you handsomely to put out Pecans for shade. They make beautiful shade; at the same time pro- duce a very profitable crop. How to Plant—Proper distance is 40 to 60 feet apart each way. A very good plan is to set Pecans in every other row of the peach orchard. The peach trees will have done their duty by the time the pecans get large enough to crowd very much and you can then cut out the peach orchard and have a pecan orchard in its place for generations to come. Dig a hole larger than just sufficient to receive the roots, usually 24 to 36 inches square and three feet deep or more. After carefully setting tree in posi- tion fill in with top soil and water well. Let water settle and finish filling hole with dry soil. Pruning—The top should be severely cut back, especially if the trees are planted where they can not be watered during the droughts of the first summer. We list the three best varieties for sec- tions reached by us. SCHLEY. One of the best nuts grown on the coast and very successful inland. Nut very large, shell thin. The meat readily cracks out whole. SUCCESS. Large moderately thin shell. Kernel plump, quality rich ; good f
