If They’re Bass Trees—They’ll Produce. 
One of our orchards with nursery stock growing: in between. Note the size of the growing trees

An Income for Life From Pecans 
“Plant a pecan grove and later on in life it will support you. It will do as much 
for your children, and your children’s children,” said J. B. Wight, before the Ameri' 
can Pomological Society. Thus a permanent investment, and a steady and constantly 
growing source of income. The first cost is the last cost, and when one plants once, 
he plants for always. 
That idle land may be producing instead of costing money for taxes. It might be 
growing trees right now—and pecans work for you while you sleep—or pecan trees 
may be planted along with growing crops, and some day will replace the hard labor, 
and the uncertainty of the annual planted crops. It would even pay you to buy idle 
land, and plant pecans, and thereby have a steady source of income. Make pecans 
your hobby! Become interested in Nature and profit by it at the same time. 
Creates a College Fund 
for Your Children 
Pecans sent the eight Bass children through college. Pecans 
will send the four Bass children of this generation through 
college. It is sending hundreds of other Southern boys and 
girls. 
If properly cared for, Bass bred-up Pecan Trees begin to 
bear in three years, and the extra special size often in two, 
and when the children are grown the trees will be bearing 
heavily. $50.00 worth of nuts a year from each single bud' 
ded or grafted pecan tree is not unusual. Twenty trees at 
this rate would provide a yearly revenue of $1,000, which is 
far better than a few dollars saved each month, usually with 
a struggle, and earning but 4%. 
Then, after the children have been graduated, there will
