Plant Pecan Trees On Your Idle Land. If You Sell, You Profit; If Not, 
You Profit More!

All Bass Trees are Budded or Grafted 
T HESE two saucers of nuts show another reason why Bass trees are such sure and 
heavy producers. Pecan trees have that natural tendency to revert back to the way 
they were produced ages ago, and even a large pecan planted is almost certain to bear a 
tiny nut later. Ordinarily, a nurseryman will plant these tiny nuts, depending upon 
their buds or grafts to- produce the larger nuts. 
In our nursery we plant the larger nuts, which cost us several times as much as 
the smaller ones. We get the proper start for our trees assuring quality for you. 
To produce large and profitable pecans, the young trees must be budded or grafted. 
Some prefer the budded, and other the grafted, but each method is equally as valuable 
and productive, and we do both. We do not buy buds or grafts from unknown sources, 
but produce them ourselves from heavy bearing parents in our own orchards. There¬ 
fore, we know their history. We take the grafts and buds, not from prunings off nurs¬ 
ery stock, as is often customary, but from branches of our own bearing trees, thereby 
causing us to lose thousands of pounds of nuts each year from our own crop. 
Three Generations of Culture 
I T TAKES years of training, cultivation, experiments and experience to produce thrifty 
pecan trees. The Bass Nursery has behind it two generations, with a third ready to 
carry on. These trees are a science and a life business with us. For 28 years we have 
served the south, and trees sold even in our first year are now in great producing 
groves. 
Bass Trees Not Confined to the South! 
“Have been buying pecan trees from various nurseries for the past five 
years but have had rather bad luck in getting good trees. Have never bought 
f from you because was afraid your trees grown too far South for this climate. 
Have changed my mind since seeing the trees here you sold to W. M. Carruth of 
this city. They are now heavy producers and the fruit is good quality.”— The 
^ One Gallas Farmer, Cushing, Okla., Oct. 22, 1935.

“We take this opportunity to testify as to the quality of your trees. In 1929 we set two 
of the 7-ft. to large trees and they have been bearing now three years.”
