Storage stock is the reason, yet despite the lowered price, it will bring a profit. ‘ Mr. T. B. Wiley, of B!ackshear.i who represents the Pierce County Nursery, was in the city, Monday, and paid us an interesting visit. Mr. Wiley has just irspected some groves ne planted last year, and report the trees doing fine. He is a believer in them and says that Pierce county will sell a hun dred thousand dollars of wurihi of pecans despite the lower price. While he represents a pecan nur sery, 1t was while was while a county agent, that he was conver ted to the profit to be made out of them, and planted a grove. He. developed a good paying oue and! gave us several new angles on the sale end and varities t» grow. ‘ The Curtis he says is a great frviter, with an excellent flavor, also a sure bearer, and while they are not as high priced as the Sue cess, Stuart, Frotshner or Schley, they ere hetter producer. rnd find a ready sale. However, as Mr. Wiley says the sale of pecan mest, is growing and a eracker, the Cur tis excells This is the proposi tion that draw the interest of the sown into the proposition, Last season Columbus shipped pecan meat out in solid car loads, the nuts being eracked, packed in neat boxes and shipped o manu facturers. The seedlings and low er grades being marketed in this manner., A neat hittle business can be built vy the nut erackeries, and even now one could be made in Folkston, the surrounding see tion being produclive of a good supply ot seedlings. Mr. Wiley interviewed quite a few interested in planting pecans, and expeets to place several good Lordern locally. If vou contemplate ‘a peean grove, he would be of assistance to you. You will find it toyonr inferest to get in touch with him, ficial preservation will keep from onc harvest to amother. _ Other trees often have their fruit: chilled and killed by the frosts of spring; but it is hardly once in a life time that “old Boreas’ catches the pecan. The pecan is a gentleman. If neg lected he may turn his back upon him who slights him. But treated as a wel come guest, he will fulfill every demana of even the most exacting host. The pecan is of royal blood and noble ancestry :— Other frees may be as beautiful. . Some may be as generous in their lbountiful harvests. ~ But in longevity and beauty and utility combined there is not a tree which can distance it in the race. ‘ We want you to get acquainted. W can present to you the proved aristo orats in the pecan world, of known E’purentage, properly nourished anc veady for your adoption. You will want to know how to care for them while growing to maturity; ask for this in formation. You will need to know how to treat them when they are shower : down the “brown beauties” full ol their life giving qualities; this also may be yours for the asking. ~ This is the opportunity for you to get acquainted. I am ready to introducc you. Just signify that you want thein nd all the necessary facts will be pu it your disposal.
