PECANS 
The pecan has been designated the official State tree, and as such it deserves 
special mention. An excellent shade tree and a valuable nut tree. — Bulletin, 
A. & M. College. 
The pecan has definitely shown itself to be a profitable commercial crop in 
the Southwest. It is a tree which adapts itself to a wide-range of climatic and 
soil conditions. Pecans are a paying investment when the proper stock is used 
and given the right care and cultivation. 
The State Department of Agriculture has a move on to protect pecan growers 
against trees that are not suited to the Southwest. We can subscribe to every re¬ 
quirement of the department as we grow all the trees we sell here in our nursery 
from native seedlings grown from seed collected on the water shed of the Trinity 
River. Our trees are correctly grown, very hardy, and dependable.

Select Fruit Trees 
We began by growing fruit trees that were adapted to the Southwest, and 
continue to prosper because we have built a reputation of sending out only such 
plants. We have been growing them these many years and we produce only quality 
stock. We are content to sell only fruits which we have seen or tested in our own or¬ 
chards; and are proven beyond a doubt suitable for the Southwest. From a small 
home orchard of only a few trees to large commercial plantings, fruit trees are a 
paying investment.
