WE PRACTICE WHAT WE PREACH 
Carol Plantation Nurseries have been maintained for the purpose of supplying the needs of our own orchards as well as supplying other planters. 
Our budwood has been carefully selected from trees known to be bearing first-class nuts. Our confidence in the Pecan industry and in our nursery stock 
is indicated by the fact that we have planted over 14,000 Pecan trees. Our extensive experience and our observation of the work of others are always 
at your disposal and we shall be glad to have you inspect our nurseries and orchards or consult our experts. Beginning now, you profit by what has 
been learned during the experimental stage of the Pecan industry. By planting now you will in a few years have a fully grown orchard which will be a 
perpetual source of income at relatively little expense. 
We were much impressed recently by the remark of an elderly farmer who had been all his life growing cotton and corn. He said that for fifteen 
years he had been talking cf planting Pecan trees. He now realized that if he had planted trees when he began talking about it, he would now have a 
mature grove, at no appreciable cost, his land worth ten times its present value, and his income assured for the rest of his life. You will do well to profit 
by his experience.

Orders accepted subject to cancellation if cir¬ 
cumstances beyond our control prevent fulfillment. 
Every tree should be pruned back before planting. 
For the convenience of our customers, to save 
express charges and to lessen the danger of injury 
to the trees, we will prune all trees ready for plant¬ 
ing unless otherwise requested by the purchaser. 
Our nurseries are regularly inspected by state en¬ 
tomologists and certified. We guarantee our trees 
to be true to variety, well dug, well packed and in 
1 good condition on arrival at destination If not in 
good condition, register complaint with transporta¬ 
tion agent and notify us. Having r.o control over 
planting or care, we cannot be responsible for growth 
of trees. On delivery and acceptance in good 
condition, cur responsibility ends. 
Planting Instructions 
If trees cannot be planted immediately upon arrival, a trench should 
be dug large enough to receive the roots, the trees taken out of the 
bundle, the roots placed in the trench with tops sloping toward the 
South, and the roots covered with soil enough to prevent getting dry. 
Water frequently while thus heeled in. 
Get your holes ready before beginning to plant. Have the holes 
plenty large and deep. Pecan tree holes should be 3 feet deep and 3 
feet across. When ready to plant, take out only a few trees at a time 
and keep the roots moist and covered from the wind. All broken or 
injured portions of the roots should be trimmed to leave ends smooth. 
Trees should be planted about the depth they stood in the nursery. 
Spread the roots in a natural position, working under and around them 
fine top soil, rather than the soil that came out of the hole, and pressing 
the soil down firmly without bending the roots downward. 
When the hole is nearly filled pour in a pail or two of water to 
wash the soil against the roots and drive out air pockets. This is im¬ 
portant. Then finish filling the hole with loose soil to serve as a mulch. 
We prefer putting fertilizer on top of the ground, around the tree, not 
closer than 8 to 10 inches, but some planters secure excellent results by 
digging the hole extra deep, throwing in three or four inches of well 
rotted manure, well mixed with soil, tramping it hard to exclude air, 
covering it with well packed soil and then planting the tree above that. 
Roots must not come in contact with strong fertilizer or they wili be 
burned. We have obtained excellent results by mixing a pound of 
cotton seed meal with the soil that fills the hole. Water the tree fre¬ 
quently in dry weather the first season, and keep the grass and weeds 
hoed away for a distance of at least three feet. When watering a tree, 
apply sufficient water at one time to moisten the soil to the bottom of 
the tap root. Light sprinkling does little good.

Grand Bay, Ala.. August 15, 1931. 
In recent years we have purchased something like 600 
pecan trees from you, mostly Stuart variety, and have found 
them to be exceptionally clean, thrifty, well-rooted stock and 
in every case true to variety. 
We wish also to commend at this time the accurate and 
conservative statements in your pecan literature regarding 
the age of bearing and production that may be expected 
from a well-cared-for pecan planting. These statements 
check very closely with our own experience as commercial 
pecan growers. 
Yours very truly, 
J. H. and A. R. KELLER.

1 am pleased to inform you that all of the 55 grafted paper- 
shell pecan trees 1 purchased from you are living and have 
made a wonderful growth. The root system of these trees 
when delivered was the greatest 1 have ever seen. I am so 
well pleased with these trees that 1 am enclosing an order 
for 160 more of your $1.50 trees for delivery in December. 
Yours truly, 
LA RUE STEINER. 
“| am pleased to advise you that all of the 355 pecan trees 1 purchased from you last winter are living and have made a splendid growth, 
them were planted on old, cultivated ground while the rest of them were planted on newly cleared land.
