Other Bass Services: 
-Large Orchard Planting- 
We are in position to not only sell you our choice bred-up trees, but to set out and 
care for large orchards by our own experts. Thus a positive assurance of not only good 
trees, but the attention they need to get a good start. Write us for our very reasonable 
terms. 
-Tree Topping—- 
Poor trees are high at any price. Many have bought them elsewhere that won’t 
bear a nut, and we’ve had to come in to save the wreck by tree-topping and budding with 
our bred-up stock. 
Top-grafting and budding is a special craft and we are prepared to perform this 
service, going anywhere to rejuvenate non-bearing orchards, provided there is a large 
number of trees to topwork. 
-Pecan Buds and Grafts for Sale- 
T HOUSANDS of grafts and buds are cut and sold by us each year from our early and 
heavy bearing pecan trees. Do not top-work your trees with poor scions—insure 
success in your work with our buds, grafts, and prepared wax. Grafts furnished dur¬

We Have 15,000 Acres of Fine Land For Sale 
Here at Lumberton, where pecan growing conditions are so ideal, we have for sale 
15,000 acres of fine land. This land is well located—lots of it right along gravel high¬ 
ways that are soon to be concreted at no extra cost to the landowner. It is extra fine 
land for Papershell pecans, peaches, pears, plums, grapes, figs, Satsuma oranges, all 
kinds of early and late vegetables and truck growing, and also excellent land for cot¬ 
ton, corn, peas, beans and other farm crops. This is a wonderful climate, being warmed 
in the winter by a breeze from the warm Gulf stream and cooled in the summer by 
light winds most all the time. No finer section can be found for cattle, sheep and horse 
grazing—ample rainfall to make grasses grow fast and stay tender. Green feed for 
stock can be had every day in the year. Health conditions are unusually fine—Lamar 
County ranking right among the healthiest counties in the United States. Fine schools, 
churches, good gravel roads, good citizens and as fine water as you can find in the 
country—water is pure, odorless, tasteless and clear and soft—most ideal. This land 
is cheap—priced at from $5.00 to $15.00 per acre for uncleared land. This land is easy 
to clear—usually costing from $5.00 to $10.00 per acre. Easy terms are offered by us. 
If You Have Land For Sale 
Perhaps you have land that you want to sell. Plant it in pecan trees ! You will immediately 
increase the value of your land and, anyway, make it more salable. Twenty years ago a person 
of our acquaintance bought five acres of land at $20.00 per acre. A few years later he planted 
the land in Bass trees and was offered $1,000 per acre, which price was refused. He realized that 
by planting pecan trees he had increased the value of his land by $950 per acre, for he could have 
got only $50 an acre for the land as he bought it. His land, taxes, and trees were readily paid for 
in the actual increased value, and it was worth a big difference besides. 
“/ received the pecan trees. They are the finest trees I have ever seen for the price 
paid. My neighbors ordered some elsewhere and paid $1.25 each; they are just switches 
compared to mine.” —mrs. earl brooks, lagrange, ga.
