W ITHIN the last six or seven years there has
been some fine varieties of pecans intro-
duced and propagated by nurserymen.
The Nelson Pecan is without doubt the

finest so far introduced.

It is the LARGEST. Some specimens
~-{ Weighing nearly one ounce. Full meated.
Quality the very best. Medium thin shell.
$e The tree is of quick growth, an early and

abundant bearer. Habit of growth some-
what like the Frotscher, forming a beautiful
round-headed tree. Trees should be planted at
least seventy feet apart as they will quite cover that

Space of ground.

The WES tree Is now about fifteen years old.
Planted Sbdut ak years ago. Has borne four crops
that | know of. I have had this tree under obser-
vation for the last four years. I am now Satisfied
it is the best pecan so far introduced. I intend
propagating and planting it largely. I will have
. only about 100 trees to sell this fall. Price, $5.00
each. Orders already booked from nurserymen
will take nearly all of these.

Being the first, as far as I know, to sell budded
or grafted pecan trees, the first to send out the
three standard varieties, ‘‘ Rome,’’ ‘‘ Centennial ”’

a

and ‘‘Frotscher,’’ | am proud of being now able to
send out under my own name the finest pecan I
have ever seen.

The nuts of this tree are greatly prized and
jealously guarded by the present owner, who is a
rich man, I may not be able to get samples of the
nuts to send purchasers of trees, but I hope to have
nuts of our own next year from a grafted tree we
Wave, top eraited three years ago. fhe cuts are
trom a photograph showing the exact size and shape
of the specimens I have. I have seen some larger
than these, but these are fair samples of the average
nuts.

We expect to have a large lot to sell for the plant-
ing season of 1905.

Orders addressed to E. H. Keep, Canal Bank and
Trust Co., New Orleans, La., or to the J. Steckler

Seed Co., Ltd., 518-526 Gravier St., New Orleans, |

-La., will receive the same attention as those
addressed direct to me at the nurseries.
