Bass Pecan Trees Are BrecHJp 
From Known Bearing* Parents 
Y OU would probably not buy an animal unless it had a pedigree. You would not purchase 
an automobile of an unknown make. When you buy Bass trees you know just what you 
are getting and are protected in every way. Bass trees bear early and heavily, and compared 
to others it may be said, earlier and heavier. This is due to breeding, the same as in thorough¬ 
bred stock. Our trees are actually bred-up from known bearing parent trees. Larger nuts are 
planted to start with and the young trees are budded or grafted from early and heavy bearing 
trees. Then like children, they are given constant attention and lots of care as they are 
growing. 
It 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 27 years we have served the south, and 
trees sold even in our first year are now in great producing groves. 
"Would Do Your Eyes Good” 
"In 1926 I purchased from you about 40 Stuart pecan trees 2-3 feet and if you should be passing 
through Folsom, La., in the next month or two I would appreciate it if you would visit my grove and 
see my trees. They would do your eyes good to see them, as they are really loaded. All our trees are 
nice and healthy while others there who purchased from other nurseries have lost most of the pecans on 
account of rust and just fall off the trees.” Oma, Miss., September 10, 1935. 
‘ 1 received, the pecan trees. They are the finest trees l have ever seen for the ■price paid, 
neighbors ordered some elsewhere and paid $1.25 each, but they are just 
switches compared to mine.” LAGRANGE, GA.
