During the month of December the Milledgeville Nursery Company will bud forty thousand pecan trees at the nursery located on the place leased from Mr. Terry Treanor just across the Oconee river. Mr. S. C. Patterson, manager of the nursery, states that the trees to be budded next month will be put on sale during the fall and winter of next year. The Milledgeville Nurs ery Company was established less than two years ago and since has made decided progress. The company has a long time lease on a number of acres of land belong ing to Mr. Terry Treanor and upon this land there are thousands upon thousands of trees that will be sold at fancy prices. Preparations arc now being made to advertise the young pecan trees and according to the present outlook the concern bids fair to achieving great success in its undertaking. It is a recognized fact that the soils in this section of Georgia are particularly well adapted to the growing of pecans and doubtless the fact that the management of the Milledgeville Nursery has received demands recently for many thous ands of pounds of nuts that cannot be filled on account of inability to secure them in this section.
