BUDDED PECAX TREKS, SF.ASOX OF 1920-1921 
H IRT^j'-TH REE years' experience with the pecan 
has convinced me more and more of its profitable- 
ness. The demand for the best nuts is constantly 
increasing-. Trees from fifteen to two hundred years 
old are annually producing their crops of nuts to the delight 
both of the palate and pocketbooks of their owners. A grove 
once established, a pound of pecans can be grown more 
cheaply than a pound of cotton ; and the grower has twelve 
months of the year in which to sell them, and the world for 
his market. 
But if success is to come to the pecan grower, there are 
certain precautions that must be observed: (1) Strong and 
vigorous budded trees should be set of such varieties as are 
adapted to the section where they are to be grown. Avoid 
stunted trees, for a runt in the nursery will remain a dwarf 
in the grove. (2) Set trees only on the best land. (3) Culti- 
vate, fertilize and care for them in the best manner. These 
are the three most important requisites to successful pecan 
growing either on a small or large scale. Observe them and 
yon will noi be disa])])ointed. 
SOME FACTS ABOUT MY TREES 
Great care is taken to send out only strong and vigorous 
trees, which arc true to name. 
My scions are taken from my own trees, which niav be 
seen growing and fruiting in my groves. 
Only strong and vigorous stocks are used for propagating 
purposes. 
I have no agents but my bearing trees, my nursery stock, 
and ni}- former customers. They speak for "themselves. 
A cordial invitation is extended to visit my nursery and 
orchards of 240 acres located near Cairo. To see is to learn. 
All orders are accepted subject to weather and other con- 
ditions beyond my control. 
My experience is at the command of those who wish advice 
as to the best varieties to set in any particular section.
