Pecan Trees Grow in Wet Season And Dry. 
“All 50 of the pecan trees purchased from you are growing and doing fine .’’— 
Folsom, La. 
Another clean, healthy and productive Pecan Orchard of Bass Trees! 
Bass Bred - Up Trees are Vigorous Growers 
Early and Heavy Bearers 
All Bass trees are bred-up, as explained on the opposite page, 
all are early bearers, and all are heavy bearers. You might buy 
cheaper trees, but have the trees been proved, as are Bass’? We 
have been in business for twenty years, long enough to prove 
that our trees bear satisfactorily. Will the cheaper-tree-fellow 
he in business when you have learned that those “cheaper” trees 
are not bearing ? Your money, labor and time will have been 
wasted, when during that time the Bass trees could have been 
growing and producing. 
We Develop Good Root Systems 
But don’t charge for the roots! 
We insist upon a well-developed root system, for unless a 
tree is well rooted and the root system is properly developed, 
the tree will have a bad start. We, therefore, pay particular 
care to the roots in growing, in digging up the trees, in in¬ 
spection, and in packing. Those, other than with first-class root 
systems, are cast aside as culls and sold as seconds along with 
other trees of imperfections, or burned as you can see by the 
picture on Page 27. 
You are assured of a fine spread of root growth, good strong 
straight trunks and pedigreed stock. We especially call to your 
attention our largest trees. Their future is virtually assured, and 
they will bear much sooner (many bearing already). 
Study This Illustration 
Thousands of our pecan trees bear even in our Nursery be¬ 
fore they are three feet high. This typical Bass bred-up tree 
growing vigorously in our Nursery has a heavy foliage, a healthy 
look, and is even bearing nuts. Note the root system—a good 
hardy tap root with a fine spread of lateral roots. Furthermore, 
we do not charge you for the roots, as some do. Our trees are all 
measured from the ground up instead of from the tip of the 
tap root to the top of the tree. Our three to four foot trees, 
therefore, are often as large as others' “five to six-foot trees.” 
You pay us for a smaller sized tree, you see!
