Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 22, Number 59, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 12 April 1901 — Where the Pecan Grows. [ARTICLE]

Where the Pecan Grows.

The pecan is a near relative of the hickory nut. It does not thrive in all land that the hickory nut will, hut. the hickory nut will grow well wherever the pecan will. The home of the pecan is in the low rich bottom land that lies along the Wabash, Mississippi, White afcd Big Red Rivers, -while they seem to grow equally as well in the Indian Territory and in the best-watered part of Texas.—Little Rock Democrat.
