Increased Land Values with Pecan 
T rees 
The pecan tree is the greatest food engine in all na¬ 
ture and the nut growers of the future will be the 
ARISTOCRATS OF THE AGRICULTURAL WORLD. 
Even a few pecan trees planted around the stable, 
cow lot, chicken yard, and in the garden, will in a few 
years give the owner MORE NET PROFIT than all 
the other crops on the average small farm combined! 
There is nothing that will give as big a return for as 
small investment as to plant pecan trees- 
In order to get a comparison between the Mahan 
and other varieties, we converted a 2-year-old Stuart 
tree (considered a good variety and widely planted) 
into a Mahan by budding it with Mahan buds and re¬ 
moving the Stuart top. The fourth year after doing 
this, which was 1931, we gathered 30 pounds of MA¬ 
HAN NUTS from this ONE tree, while FOUR Stuart 
trees in the same row, produced TWO POUNDS of 
nuts on all four trees. In 1933 this Mahan tree has 
an estimated crop of 60 pounds. The Stuarts 3 pounds 
each.,, -v 
MAHAN PECANS 
33 weigh a pound 
Its giant size, thinness of shell and superior qual¬ 
ity of meat won first prize for the Mahan pecan in a 
world-wide pecan contest supervised by the Texas 
State Agricultural College. 
A NATIONALLY KNOWN TRADEMARKED 
PRODUCT 
These trees were all about the same size when we 
budded the one, or approximately 2)4 inches in diam¬ 
eter. The top of the Mahan is now 50% larger than 
that of the other trees- 
The evidence seems to prove very clearly, that 10 
acres of Mahan Pecans will yield as many dollars as 
20 to 40 acres of other varieties, and get about it sev¬ 
eral years sooner. Consider the additional cost of land 
and care of two to four times as many trees, and the 
suspense of waiting three or four years longer for the 
harvest of smaller nuts that command only one-half 
the price of Mahans, and then decide which is the 
cheaper tree to plant. 
What you can expect from a Mahan orchard of 10 
acres or 120 trees, properly cared for: '

This is a conservative estimate of what a Mahan 
Orchard will produce for you, and considerably un¬ 
der what they have done in our orchards.

Think It Over 
The MAHAN pecan is a trademarked product known 
throughout the United States and many foreign coun¬ 
tries. The large amount spent by the Monticello Nur¬ 
sery Company in advertising this outstanding pecan 
directly benefits all wise planters who produce MA¬ 
HAN nuts. 
GREAT DEMAND ALREADY CREATED 
Four years of extensive radio publicity have creat¬ 
ed a wide market for MAHAN pecans and the demand 
even now is many times in excess of production, or 
possible production in the next 15 or 20 years- The 
giant size of the Mahan nut, the superb quality of the 
meat, plus the fact that it is the best known pecan 
variety in the world, will enable producers of Mahan 
nuts to market their crops quickly, easily, and at a 
price greatly in excess of that obtainable for any oth¬ 
er variety.

Dear Sirs: 
While visiting the Fair the writer came 
across an exhibit of your Mahan Pecans. They cer¬ 
tainly are a fine lot of nuts and hope that just as soon 
as you are ready to sell any of these nuts this fall, that 
you will send us samples and prices. 
Yours truly,
