Spoken Of as the father of pecan
trees. the jumbo hollis tree
situated upon the farm of J. W.

accord of all nut trees in the
matter of income from its pro-
Auction. For many years Its
annual crop Of pecan nuts has
sold for $500 to $1,000. In q
single season it produced a crop
that sold for $1,000. :,
It is believed to be the largest
! nAcan tree In Texas. It's tower
ing branches cover an enormous
area, and there have been but
\ few years when they were not
loaded down with nuts Of the
fhin-shell large variety. The nuts
from this tree always bring fancy
