Less than fifty .dollars worth of trees,
shrubs and plants caused a property to
sell for five hundred dollars more than
had been offered for it. One pecan
tree often produces many dollars’
worth of nuts in a season. A few fig
trees will net even more and other
nuts and fruits are equally profitable.
The first cost of trees and the up
keep expense are insignificant in com
parison with returns. Even a small lot
will accommodate a few specimens, in
odd corners. •Start your planting this
winter, making additions as you can.
You will get pleasure as well as profit.
