MONTICELLO,
Fla.,
» Jan. 15. — W hat is des­
' R cribed as the w orld’s high­
R est-priced tree has been
R bought by a Monticello
R nurseiy from its grower
R in Kosciusko, Miss.
R
.T h e tree is only sixteen
R years old, but it cost the
R nurcery >2,500.
R
The tree is a pecan and
R was 'purchased for pur­
R poses of grafting, by which
R some of the enormously
R productive qualities of the
R tree may be transferred
R to other plants.
It has
R been bearing ffruit nine
R years and produces pecans
R of such dimensions th at
R only twenty-five of them
R are required to make a
R pound.
R
The nursery concern
R will strip the tree of all
R graftin g p a rts and will
R • use them for improving
R its stock.
R
In addition to paying
R >2,500 for the tree, the
R concern has expended a
R like sum for an attorney
R to protect the
firm ’s
R rights, so th a t the variety
R cannot be propagated for
R ten years from the time
R the tree is put on the
R m arket.
