popularity of the nut Is doubtless due
attic methods of grading and cracking
by machinery operated by steam and
electric power This renders possible
the marketing of the meats ready for
use. A market demand considerably in
excess of the supply was reported In
1906 Under this stimulus and the pro-
ductlon of considerable numbers OF
budded and grated trees of choice va
rietiCs In southern nurseries the plant
ing of pecan orchards is proceeding
rapidly In many portions of the south.
Seeding orchards grown from nuts
of the large varieties, such as Centen-
NAL, Frotseher Stuart, Van Deman,
Russell. etc, that came into public no.
tice In 1S75-95, are now coming into
bearing throughout the south.
OF the varieties illustrated the origi-
nal Delmas pecan tree was grown
from nut planted by A. G. Delmas at
his place at Scranton, Miss, about
1877. 1t began bearing In 1884 and
mas since the following year. The tree
is strong grower. of erect and round
ish head. 1t is productive and promis
ing for the lower pecan districts, such
us the gulf coast region. where 1t origi-

In size the nuts are large to very
large, averaging forty to fifty nuts per
pound; color grayish, brownish, spar
ingly mixed with black; shell rather
thick; cracking quality good; kernels
plump, bright straw color, very at
tractive; texture rather soft. but flavor
pleasant, and quality good.
The original tree of the Georgia or
Georgia Giant was grown in nursery
row by G. NJ. Bacon of Dewitt Ga,
FROM nuts of unknown parentage In
1855. In 1891 this tree, which was the
first in the orchard to bear, yielded
thirty-two nuts, which are said to have
weighed one pound.
In size the Georgia, like the Delmas,
is large to very large, averaging forty
to fifty nuts per pound; color dull and
dark grayish brown, sparsely striped
with black; shell rather thick. but
cracks well; kernels plump, bright, at
tractive; texture inclining TO coarse
ness, with pleasant flavor and excel
lent quality The tree is sturdy,
strong grower, prococious and produc-
tive and worthy of a thorough test
throughout Georgia and adjacent
states

over It, have seen plants covered

perpetrators of this outrage complain
of their bad luck in carrying plants
over winter, says Il writer In Floral
Life A loose wooden box or one with
one or both ends removed and filled
lightly with leaves or, better still, ever
green twigs answers every purpose for
isolated plants. This is also safe pro
lection for such bulbs rs iXias, which
require heavy protection during win

TRUE FRIENDSHIP.
A Blessing to Be Cultivated and Highly
Valued.

Valued.
Only he has friends worth while who
Is willing to pay the price for making
and keeping them. He may not have
quite as large Il fortune as IL he gave
all of his time to money making, But
wouldn't you rather have good, stanct
friends who believe In you and who
would stand by you In adversely than
have little more money?
But friendship must be cultivated
1t cannot be bought. 1t Is priceless
II you abandon your friends for 8
quarter of century or more while you
are buried In your pursuit of wealth
you cannot expect TO come back and
dnd them where you left them. Did
you ever get or keep anything worth
value?
Many people seem TO think that
friendship is a one sided affair They
enjoy their friends, enjoy having them
come to see them, but they rarely
think of putting themselves out to re
riprocate or take the trouble 10 keep
up their friendships. while the fact Il
reclprocation is the very essence Of
friendship.
