NUT-BEARING TREES PECANS The Pecan industry is yet in its infancy, and as the territory in which it can be grown successfully is limited to the southern section of our country, we have practi- cally the world for a market. The demand for the nuts is growing larger each year, as new uses are found for them in the manu- facture of foods, confections, etc. Unlike other fruits, it is not necessary to hurry them to market as soon as ripe, but they may be held until the market is satisfactory. But to be certain of obtaining the best results, that is, trees that bear choice, large paper-shell nuts (that sell for the best prices always), it is necessary that we plant only grafted or budded trees, as seedlings, even from the finest nuts, are \ ery disappointing, very few ' coming true to seed, and after waiting several years for them to come into bearing, find that we have trees bearing a mixed and mongi-el lot of fruit that must be sold at very low prices. \Ve have tried it and know what we are talking about. Vou would not think of planting an orchard of seedling apples, peaches or plums, and Pecans are no more certain to come true to the seed planted. Then, again, grafted or budded trees come mU) bearing in about one-half the time that seedlings do, and you thus realize an inconie from your in\ estment much sooner. The trees are higher in price, as good grafting wood is yet scarce, and the process of grafting and budding is uncertain ; but the final results justify the extra outlay at the start. 'We will furnish our customers, free of charge, a pamphlet giving full 'instructions in the planting and care of a Pecan grove, based on our experience of a number of vears. which will enable vou to start righ
