In an endeavor to aid in solving some of the problems connected with the culture of the pecan this small volume has been prepared. Pecan culture has been the subject of careful study, observation and experimentation on the part of the author for a number of years and the results of these studies are presented in the following pages.
To the many who have so kindly and willingly assisted in its preparation, my thanks are herein expressed.
H. Harold Hume.
