Guaranteed to Fully Protect 
A Cheap Purchase Is Money Lost.— Japanese Proverb. 
Good Things Cost Less Than Bad Ones .-Italian Proverb. 
I T’S easy for anyone to make any guarantee, but have you assurance that the guarantee will be car¬ 
ried out? No other nursery has dared duplicate our guarantee above or any of our other guar¬ 
antees or propositions listed on this page. It pays to deal with the largest Pecan Nursery in the world. 
1 Should any of our No. 1 pecan 
trees die within one year—if 
properly cared for—we’ll share the 
loss with you and replace the trees 
for one-half the regular catalog 
prices. 
2 If you’re in doubt as to the 
quality of our trees, we’ll ship 
them to you in competition with 
any others and allow you to select 
the trees with the finest developed 
root systems. Does anybody else 
have such confidence in their trees ? 
WE KNOW OUR TREES AND 
THOSE OF OTHERS. 
3 If you will visit us, especially 
in order to be sure about the 
trees you buy, we shall pay all ex¬ 
penses and pay you liberally for 
your time if you do not find our 
nursery to have more and better 
pecan trees than any nursery any¬ 
where. You rright care to visit 
around to make comparisons. 
If we were not positive about 
our own trees, would we dare to 
make such an of er ? 
4 Our Pineapple Sand Pears are 
positively bl.)ght-proof. They 
are guaranteed not to blight in any 
section. 
5 Our fruits (other than Pineap¬ 
ple Pears) are supplied by rep¬ 
utable nurseries. We guarantee 
them to be true to name, high in 
quality, good healthy stock, free 
from disease. Stock damaged in 
transit, if notified immediately, will 
be replaced, if express or freight 
receipt indicates damages. Should 
any stock prove not true to name 
we will return money or replace it 
with other stock, but are not liable 
for any damages beyond this.

Trees to China 
Our last year’s catalog told 
of shipping trees to China. 
Now read this letter: “I am 
pleased to report to you that 
all six of the trees which you 
shipped to me are not only 
living but flourishing, and I 
have high hopes that in due 
time Bass Pecans will be fa¬ 
mous in China as they are 
elsewhere in the world.”—C. 
S. Franklin, Shanghai, China. 
BASS TREES HOLD THE WORLD'S RECORD! 
T HIS is the remarkable bearing record of nine of our 
Extra Special pecan trees set out the last of February, 
1923, by Dr. D. B. Stevenson, of Lumberton, Miss. Most all 
of these trees bore pecans the first year set out. They were 
our largest size trees and have been given the very best at¬ 
tention by Dr. Stevenson. He has fertilized the trees very 
heavily with barnyard manure and worked around them often, 
so that weeds and grass would not get the fertilizer. Results 
have been remarkable. 
The record that follows was carefully kept by Dr. Steven¬ 
son, who is one of the best known physicians as well as loved 
and respected citizens of South Mississippi, and is absolutely 
authentic as he gathered and weighed the pecans himself. The 
Even your culls or No. 2 were better than any first-grade trees I have seen bought 
page sixteen from other nurseries.” RALEIGH, N. C. 
trees bearing the heaviest crops were the ones most favorably 
located. Trees with smallest yields were greatly handicapped 
by being near big oaks, sidewalks, etc. The nuts were gath¬ 
ered in October and November of 1925 —actually before the 
trees had been set in the ground three years.

“I have a Stuart pecan tree 
I bought from you and set 
out in my yard in 1913. This 
year it hasn’t less than 500 or 
600 pounds on it. It is the 
fullest of any tree that I ever 
saw. Everyone that sees it 
thinks it perfectly wonderful. 
I would not take $500.00 for 
it.” Dr. G. A. Moore, Eutaw
