Plant Once J Put That Idle Land to Work 
For Always • with Pecans 
That idle land put in pe¬ 
cans, or land especially pur¬ 
chased for pecan planting, 
may mean that you can soon 
retire. Every farmer, busi¬ 
ness and professional man, 
teacher—map or woman, wants 
to retire sooner or later. 
Take a look at the pecans on the back cover of this catalog. 
Each sack costs 10c, holds $50 worth of nuts. There was the 
cost of the original tree, which was practically nothing in com¬ 
parison, and, of course, the care. Nuts are not perishable, and 
take the lowest freight or express rates, as well as the lowest 
cost per package. Compare this to apples, peaches, eggs, etc. 
You may have land that is idle, or poorly 
productive, and making you poor on account 
of the taxes. Pecans will work day and night 
and produce a tremendous profit. These trees 
do not interfere with growing crops. The 
trees may be planted in between the rows, 
and even after developed crops may still be 
planted in between the trees, if you still 
want to bother with risky one-time crops. 
Figure up the cost of that idle land, 
the low cost of our pecan trees, and 
compare it to the investments, on 
Page 7. Then let us aid you in 
putting that idle land to work. 
We are now in position to 
not only sell you our choice 
bred-up trees, but to super¬ 
vise the actual planting of 
large orchards. Thus a posi¬ 
tive assurance of not only 
good trees, but a good start 
that they need. Write us for 
terms and conditions. 
Your land may produce double, by either planting pecan trees between the rows of 
your cotton, corn, etc., or by planting crops between the rows of your pecan orchards. 
At Lumberton we utilize much of our land between our own trees in our groves, and 
we have found that the finest crops to grow with pecans are peas, beans, clover and 
other leguminous crops, for these enrich the soil and build it up. But we also grow 
cotton, corn, sweet potatoes, watermelons and all kinds of truck, as well as strawberries, 
and other kinds of fruits. Refer to pages 22, 23, 24, 25, for fruits that may be 
planted between the trees.
