OUR PACKING SHED as built in 1903 was 36x60 feet. Later additions including 
office, frost proof storage room and freeze proof cellar have nearly doubled its size. Stock 
is handled and packed here with the least possible exposure. The Halbert Pecan tree at 
left has not missed a crop since 1923. 
CULTIVATION—You would not expect to grow cotton, corn or potatoes without fre¬ 
quent cultivation. No more can you grow a crop of fruit or beauty from the plants and 
trees you set unless you give them a fair chance. Work the surface of the ground lightly 
as soon as dry enough after each good rain, using the type of hand, horse or power tools 
best adapted to your conditions. No matter what, which or how, but STIR THE SOIL. 
If you follow this plan your weeding will be a small matter and you will seldom need to 
resort to watering. Cultivate to make your plants grow; water only to keep them alive 
in a long dry spell. Spraying is necessary only when you are threatened with injury by 
insects or fungus diseases. First learn what your trouble is, then any “spray; calendar” 
will tell you what to do and how. 
GUARANTEED TO LIVE—If you want trees guaranteed to live and grow, with free 
replacement of any that fail, we furnish that service for an additional 10 to 50% if writ¬ 
ten into the sale ticket at time of delivery. Otherwise no responsibility except that trees 
shall be true to name or description, as mentioned on another page. 
OUR TOWN—Noble is a town of just under 500, located on the main line of the 
Santa Fe and on Highway 77; 24 miles south of Oklahoma City, and 6 miles south of 
Norman, the University City and county seat. It is a town of home ownership, schools, 
churches, trees, flowers, gardens, and is a noted center of 4-H club activity. A dozen big 
buses pass our grounds daily, giving regular service to all points north and south. The 
nursery is located in the north part of town, with headquarters one block west of the 
highway.
