nocan trees if the highest sue
is to be obtained, and the most
'mnortant one, perhaps. is the selec-
.ar M of varieties. This very import
~ ouestion gets little or no atten-
.,on from the persons making small
ol.ntings of few trees to a hum
a,ad or more, and sometimes even
,,om those setting out large COM
norcial orchards. The mere name,
agrafted pecan" means to many per-
sons all that is to be desired. There
ara more than a hundred named va
rieties of pecans, but only a small
number out of this list should be
selected for general planting. That
nut is large, or thin-shelled, or
we'll formed, or the tree prolific, is
not all. The variety must be adapt
ed to the locality in which it is to
be planted. Certain pecans originat-
ing in dry climate, like Texas,
for example, will not succeed when
transplanted in the humid climate of
the East. Choice Texas pecans, like
San Saba and Halbert, do not sue
ceed in this climate. The Georgia
Giant, native of south Georgia, one
Of the most prolific of all varieties,
has characteristics that make it
worthless, and it is not being plant
ed by persons who know anything
about pecans. There are varieties
like the Stuart, which succeed
over wide range of country and
others of equal or better quality that
succeed only in limited areas.
The tree should also be considered
in making selections. There is often
greater difference among trees
than is commonly supposed. The
time OF maturing the nuts is quite an
important matter. A defect in some
dne varieties is the paucity of cat
klns or male blossoms to pollenize
the female blossoms. Then, too, the
number of female blossoms in the
cluster, is to be considered. An av-
erage of five is good, and six to sew
en- is extra good. 1t is not safe to
propagate nut from seeing it alone.
Inc habits of the tree that bore it
should be looked into.
Thus the question, What varieties
snail | plant?" while easy to ask is
uncut to answer. According to in
'estlgatlons and paintings thus far
made, the following varieties should
" pest adapted for planting by most
y me Progressive Farmer readers:

les, are well adapted. For eastern

advantage of the thin shell is main
ly in the cracking quality, it being
very doubtful whether the keeping
quality of the kernel is in any way
dependent upon the thickness of the
shell, as II commonly supposed.
The following varieties comprise
a select list:
AppomattOx.-The parent tree at
Petersburg, Va, is hardy and an an
nual bearer. The nuts are small to
medium in size, thin-shelled, fine
flavor and good quality. Recon-
mended for planting in northern por-
tion OF pecan area.
Mantura.-Native of Surry Coun-
ty, Va. Tree large and very hardy,
bearing annual crops. The strain
from which it comes has been grow
ing in Virginia for more than 60
years, making it valuable acquisi-
tion for planters in northern sections.
This variety is very precocious. AL
though it has been propagated for
only five years, two crops have been
gathered from top-worked tree In
Georgia. A prominent pecan grower
recently stated at the National Nut
Growers Convention that the Man.
tura promised we'll for the South as
we'll as for the North. The nuts are
large, shells very thin. flavor sweet
and quality good.
Moneymaker.-A northern Louis
lana variety; has proved hardy as
far north as Illinois. 1t is precocious
and prolific. The nuts are medium
sized. shells medium in thickness,
flavor good. quality very good.
Stuart.-A south Mississippi varie-
ty. Most popular of all for general
planting. Succeeds over wide range
of country. With the large list to
select from, probably a third of the
trees planted are of this variety. The
nuts are large to very large. shells
medium in thickness, flavor rich,
sweet; quality very good.
Van Deman.-Native of southern
Louisiana. The original tree is
growing in st. James Parish from a
nut planted in 1886. It bears an
nually from 200 to 800 pounds OF
pecans. The nuts are large to very
large. she'll Of medium thickness,
flavor sweet and delicate, quality
very good.
Prof. G. A. Reed. pecan specialist
of the United States Department of
Agriculture, has given more atten-
tion than any other person to the
adaptability of varieties. He has
visited most of the original trees Of
the leading pecans and has observed
the behavior of the trees from them
planted in widely separated locali-
ties. He says the essential points
that go to make up a desirable va
riety are: resistance to disease; pro-
Efficacy and regularity of bearing;
vigor of trees; size. appearance and
flavor of nut; thinness Of shell, and
cracking quality.
Throughout the extensive region
in which it may be grown for fruit,
no tree is worthy of more serious
consideration than the pecan, and
that the choice varieties will succeed
in North Carolina and States to the
south has been fully demonstrated.
