PIGFORD NURSERIES—LUMBERTON, MISSISSIPPI 
PECANS 
PECAN TREES ARE A LIFE TIME INVESTMENT 
It is a beautiful sight to see thousand and thousands of papershell pe 
can trees— especially in South Miss, bending and many breaking with 
their heavy load of rich nuts. 
At least several papershell pecan trees should be planted about 
every “Home Grounds”. The trees are invaluable for landscaping ef¬ 
fect as well as furnishing shade for the grounds. Trees form the 
framework for landscaping grounds around which designs of 
shrubbery walks and pools are formed. There is nothing more 
fascinating than gathering large fine nuts and storing them 
away to be eaten and enjoyed around the fireside through 
cold bleak days of winter. Many, many recipes call for the 
nuts in candies, salads, cakes etc. 
For many years we have carefully selected our budding 
and grafting wood from bearing trees of extra large nuts, and 
trees that for us have borne a fair to large crop of nuts un¬ 
der all weather conditions. By so doing our nursery trees 
should bear the same large choice nuts. 
Buy your pecan trees DIRECT from a reliable Nursery¬ 
man to be sure of getting true varieties. 
STUART —The very best variety of Papershell Pe¬ 
can for all purposes and for all locations. The tree is 
hardy, grows off promptly, practically immune to at¬ 
tacks of insects or diseases; bears early, regularly, 
hold the nuts under different weather conditions .and 
responds to good treatment. The nut is large, averag¬ 
ing 40 to 50 per pound; plump, bright, delicious flavor, rich, oily, 
shell thin, cracks easily inhand. Were it necessary to have only one 
variety we would certainly choose this one.
