Poor trees are high at any price. Many have bought these 
elsewhere that won’t bear a nut, and we’ve had to come in to 
save the wreck by tree-topping and budding with our bred-up 
stock. 
Tree-topping and budding is a special craft and we are pre¬ 
pared to perform this service, going anywhere to rejuvenate non¬ 
bearing orchards, provided there is a large number of trees to 
top work. 
If you want information on top working, we refer you to the 
Government Bulletin No. 1501, on Nut-Tree Propagation. Write 
U. S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. 
Compare the need of tree-topping to this record, told by one 
of our pleased customers: 
“I just want to tell you how beautiful my pecan trees are. I 
have about 3 5 about 13 years old and they are loaded down with 
nuts; about 60 others about 10 years old that have fine crops. I 
have 240 in all and all were bought from you but 40. The four 
I got from you last winter are growing fine. One has made 
more growth than any pecan tree I ever saw.”—Hon. Geo. S. 
Hamilton, Jackson, Miss. 
U 
EAT PECANS AND 
LIVE LONGER 
Great doctors have said that we can prolong our lives at least ten years by changing from 
meat eaters to nut eaters. Raw or cooked meat—the flesh of some dead animal—creates foul 
odors and poisons when taken into the stomach. Your system has to absorb these—often causing 
Bright’s Disease, or some form of kidney or liver troubles. Pecans do not give off these odors or 
poisons, but act as mild laxative and lubricant, and keep your system in wonderful condition. 
Dr. Kellogg, of Battle Creek, Michigan, recommends pecans instead of meats. As evidence 
of the comparative value of nuts and meat, the U. S. Department of Agriculture says that a pound 
of round-steak contains only 950 calories, while a pound of pecans has 3,300 calories. The steak 
is 13.6 per cent fat, while the pecans are 70.7 per cent fat. 
There are so many different ways of serving these nutritious nuts in desserts and other dishes 
althought the nuts themselves are most appetizing without any preparation. Try eating and 
serving a few pecans every day and see the wonderful improvement in your and your family’s 
health. _ 
It will pay you to plant our Extra Special or larger sizes of pecan trees for earlier 
and heavier bearing. 
The trees arrived in good condition, and I am well pleased with same.” — Laurens, S. C.
