PECAN CULTURE.
A Few Ideas on Pecan Culture by One

A Few Ideas on Pecan Culture by One
Who Has Hail Experience.
The extreme difficulty that has so
far been met with in budding and graft
ing the pecan, has made it impossible
to produce trees in any thing like large
quantities by those methods. l have
consulted some of the best authorities
in the United States upon the subject,
and all agree that pecan trees can be
grated and budded, but that it is too
difficult to be profitable. Mr.. Andrew
S. Fuller, author of that valuable little
work, THE Propagation of Plants"
says: "Propagating the hickories by
budding and grating, has never been
practiced with any very great success
anywhere" Notwithstanding all the
evidence to the contrary, the time is
not far distant when grated or budded
pecans will be quite numerous. Not
many years ago it was thought by many
good authorities upon horticulture that
this class of trees could not be trans
planted successfully, and that the only
method OF securing grove of pecans
or hickor'es was to plant the nuts where
the treea were wanted in the grove.
Upon this point the same authority
above quoted has this to say: "This
very absurd idea has been repeated and
disseminated by men holding high pc.
sitions, but who could no, possibly have

theorists usually recommend the plant
ing of the nut where the trees are in
tended to remain, which is not neces-
sary any more than it is to plant the
seeds of our common fruit trees in such
positions" A few advocate these old
exploded theories to-day, but the ma

enough acquainted with this class OF
trees to know that they will bear trans.
planting as well as many others, and
that even trees four or five years old
may be successfully transplansed. Its

have been grown on light sandy soil.
On such soil they can be made to pro-
duce plenty of fibrous roots, whereas,
if grown on hard compact soil, the
fibrous roots will be lacking,

that there's a remedy to help
you. Then you'll keep on
