The trees commence bearing at about seven years of age, and every year adds greatly to the quantity of their yield. The trees are long- lived, and with proper attention become more productive every year, until they are over fifty years old. There is a good market for all the nuts that can be raised, and at good prices. We offer the best variety from Texas, and think that they will prove another valuable addition to the fruits of Florida. They shoul
