PECAN CULTURE
COMING INDUSTRY
Trees Are Hardy and Not Sub
jet to Loss by Freezes.
PRODUCT is Always STEADY

There is Little Fluctuation on the Price
Of Pecans. and a Market Can be
Found Anywhere in the world-A
Big Thing for Florida.
AS was stated in the Sun OF Wednes-
day, Dr. NJ. II. DePass OF Archer has
just completed the setting OF ten
acre grove Of pecans on his place.
DR.. DePass, like many others, be-
lieves that the pecan industry, which
is already assuming good proportions
is going to become the leading indus
try Of Florida. Ills a product which
is always in demand at all seasons OF
the year, does not require refrigera-
tion to market, and may be held sub.
ject to better prices without loss An
other advantage is that the pecan is a
hardy tree, and will resist the coolest
weather. Once pecan tree arrives at
maturity it is sure income for gener-
atoms to come.
Ihere are great many pecan or
chards scattered in various portions OF
the State, but this section seems better
adapted than any other. The trees
seem to flourish better and bear more
prolilicly and better fruit than in any
section, as has been demonstrated on
various occasions in competition from
the products of other sections.
DR.. DePass is g firm believer in the
"pecan future" OF this section, aud
has exemplified his sincerity by put
ting out this ten-acre grove. The trees
are OF the celebrated Jacox variety,
which took the prize at the Worlds
Fair, St. Louis. II is a paper she'll

and shapely, and always finds ready

Dr. DePass expects that the trees will

when he will be financially indepead
