MONEY CAN BE MADE
in Pecan Growing when judiciously conducted in business like manner.
When the long life and healthfulness of the trees is considered, and also the
abundant time in which the huts can be gathered and marketed, do you
know of a more attractive field of endeavor, in all the realm of horticulture,
than the Pecan industry?
Three Requisites For Success.
1. Good trees must be set of such varieties as are adapted'to the section in
which .they are to grow. * -
2. The best land only should bd used for Pecans; a crop of such value can
well be given the best land.
After setting, the trees should be well eared for.
Write for folder, “THE PECAN,” some points, pointers and suggestions.
You will see that the WIGHT way is the RIGHT way. Information cheerful
ly furnished as to culture af a tree or an orchard. Prices on trees may be
obtained by the asking.
