It’s Advisable To Plant Our Big Trees—They Bear Earlier. 
Ready for the Match. (To be a Huge Bonfire). 
Protecting Our Customers 
Though a usual scene to us, this is an unusual sight to visitors who cannot understand why 
we burn many trees. We do it to protect our customers, even though every bonfire is so much 
money going up in smoke. 
These stacks consist of Bass Pecan Trees that we do not consider fit for OUR customers. 
They consist of numerous culls—trees that have imperfect root systems, are badly scarred or 
dwarfed. Now some of the culls are trees that we consider as seconds, and may be planted, and 
are sold by us as No. 2 trees at half the price of our No. 1 trees (see pages 12 and 13), but 
these trees that we still consider unfit are burned, and we would not sell them at any price. 
Some nurseries would sell these trees as “number ones,” whereby we burn them. A big loss 
to us, but a great satisfaction in protecting our customers. 
Additional Proof of the Investment 
in Planting Pecans 
Here is a picture of a 36'year'dd tree that 
beat the world record for the three largest 
crops in three years, bearing 75 bushels, or 
3,000 pounds, which sold for $1,050 net. 
Property of R. L. Casey, of Hollandale, 
Miss. Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Casey shown on 
the right—rich and FAT, from pecans! 
Mr. Casey claims this as the most prolific 
pecan tree in America. It produced last year 
1,200 pounds of nuts, that sold for $480. 
He owns many trees that are 36 years old 
and producing. Wasn’t that foresight? 
Hasn't it been a good investment for the 
planter of these trees? This is exactly what 
we want YOU to do NOW! 
“The trees arrived promptly on the specified date and were very satisfactory—in fact, they 
were Leyond all expectations.” — L\.ew Orleans, La.
