How Pecan Trees Made 
a House a Home 
I T HAS been rightfully said that “it’s not a home until it’s planted.” Shrubbery cer¬ 
tainly adds life, beauty and “hominess” to one’s dwelling. The house on the left 
is the way the home of our president looked before the pecan trees got big enough 
to furnish shade. The photograph on the opposite page, although taken at a slightly 
different angle, shows the same trees and how they provide considerable shade and 
adorn the place and how much cooler it is now! You can tell that by the picture and 
almost feel the breeze. 
Visitors Welcome 
—and a Most Unusual Proposition! 
V ISITORS are always welcome, and we have hundreds of them each year. We’ll 
gladly take you over our place, show every operation and the many details of pre¬ 
caution in growing, grafting, budding, caring, packing and shipping our trees. 
If you will visit us, in order to be sure about the trees you buy, and you do not 
find our nursery to have more and better trees, we shall pay all expenses and liberally 
for your time. You might thus care to visit around to make comparisons. 
If we were not positive about our own trees, would we dare make such an offer? 
Pecans have Paid Others Big Money 
They Could Pay You, Too! 
A COLORED farmer in Texas has av¬ 
eraged 800 pounds of nuts from one 
tree bringing about $300 and as much 
clear money as all the rest of his sandy 
farm of 120 acres. He has refused $1000 
for the tree. _ 
The tree shown on Page 10, planted 
18 years before, produced $80 worth of 
nuts in its 18th year alone, although it 
started bearing the third year. Now the 
tree produces more than 240 pounds each 
year. It was one of our $1 trees. 
A tree in San Saba, Texas, more than 
1000 years old, it is claimed by tree ex¬ 
perts, produces an annual crop of from 
$500 up to even $1000. 
Twenty years ago an acquaintance 
bought 5 acres of land for $20 per acre. 
After planting in Bass trees he refused 
the price of $1000 per acre a few years 
later. _ 
A Mississippian got 200 pounds of nuts 
from an 18-year-old tree, and another pro¬ 
duced 273 pounds one year on an 18-year- 
old tree, and two years later 330 pounds 
off the same tree. 
It is said five dollars invested in 5 trees 
produced in 18 years $6,336.41. 
One of our customers bought two trees 
for shade, and eight years later got 100 
pounds of nuts off the two trees, selling 
half of them for $25. 
In Hollandale, Miss., there is a 38- 
year-old tree that produced in one year 
1200 pounds of nuts which sold for $480. 
A woman customer wrote she would 
not take less than $30,000 for her pecan 
grove of Bass bred-up trees. 
Numerous other instances of specific profits could be cited!
