small hole in her backyard and planted a
pecan tree The story goes even back OF
that This Yankee grandmother planted
the pecan nuts in the first place from which
the baby trees came Not many Of the nuts
sprouted, for the hickory tribe, to which
the pecan belongs, is of shy growth and
rather difficult to reproduce. Bnt several
tender green shoots came up. They were
careful " fostered, an two or three OF them
started on the way to become trees.
That was more years ago than several OF
Nine. S arl's grandchildren would like to
tell. for some Of them are ladies and not
married yet. Anyway it was "befo' the
wah.n
The tender green sprout that was planted
in the back yard is now perhaps twenty five
feet high 1t bears many quarts OF nuts
every year. They are fat, crisp and rich.
They are as much better than the ordinary
pecan of commerce as home made pump
kin pie is better than that the baker makes.

far and wide. She herself long ago turne
to dust But every winter the choicest
package that the Christmas season brings,

tree. Her name is perpetuated through THIS
tree. After all else about her shall be for
gotten. because of this one deed she did, she
will be remembered.

hickory nut. 1t is a solid and compare
lively smooth nut. the surface not being so
deeply cut into by ridges of she'll as most
