Plant Pecan Trees on Your Idle Land. If You Sell, You Profit; If Not, You Profit 
More! 
Some of Nature's stock that is better than Wall Street's. This is one of our own groves with nursery 
stock growing in between. Notice man-sized young trees. 
A Safe and Sound Investment 
That Yields More Dividends Each Year 
P ECULIARLY as we go through the hangover of the Depression there are millions of 
dollars idle because some people are a bit dubious about stocks, and various enterprises. 
The surest, safest and most profitable investment, we have found by experience of many years, 
has been in pecans. With pecans planted, that land becomes more valuable each year, requires 
less attention, and the income is also greater, as the trees grow older. If you have land, plant 
it in pecans. You can still grow crops or cattle between the trees. If you have idle funds it 
will pay you to buy land to convert into pecan orchards. We have 
some ideal land in our vicinity for sale on easy terms. We would 
supply our finest trees backed by a guarantee which no other nur¬ 
sery has ever dared to duplicate. 
An Unusual Legacy 
The late Governor James Stephen Hogg of Texas, a lover of 
trees, bequeathed to the people of Texas, pecan trees so that Texas 
would become a land of beautiful trees. A few days before his 
death Governor Hogg said, “I want no monument of stone or 
marble, but plant at my head a pecan tree and at my feet an old- 
fashioned walnut—and when these trees shall bear, let the pecans 
and walnuts be given out among the plain people of Texas so that 
they may plant them and make Texas a land of trees.” 
About a score of young pecan trees have been sent to various 
high schools and courthouses in Texas to beautify the grounds. 
The tree shown on Page 8 
was a $1.00 tree, such 
as this. 
South Mississippi is the mother section of the finest varieties 
of pecans. More fine varieties of pecans, now being planted, orig¬ 
inated within 150 miles of Lumberton, than all the world put 
together. Lumberton, therefore, is the HEART of this district, 
and virtually the heart of the entire Pecan area. 
“The four Stuart pecan trees I bought from you have just done beautifully, and this year we are 
having quite a few pecans on them. They are beautiful trees and the envy of 
our section of the town.” MEMPHIS, TENN.
