NOW Is the Time to Plant PECANS—the KING of NETS!

■ ANY people think that the growing of pecans is 
® an expensive matter—a hobby for the rich. This 
is an erroneous idea, for we know from long experience 
that— 
$7 to $25 Per Acre 
—for our well-rooted, high grade trees will secure for 
you, with some care and attention, a pecan orchard that 
should yield an independent income during your own 
lifetime as well as during the lifetimes of your children 
and grandchildren. 
How Much Acreage? 
Pecan trees may be planted on small plots or large 
farms. The number of aeres you devote to their culture 
may be varied according to the land you have available 
and the income towards which you are building. Con¬ 
servatively, you may figure on an income of $50.00 to 
$100 per acre from 10 to 15 year old trees—with an 
inerease in revenue each year thereafter for a hundred 
years or more. Thus it is possible for 20 acres to yield 
$2,000 per year-40 acres $4.000—80 acres $8,000 
—and there are cases where papershell pecans have 
made families independent for life. 
Superior Lateral-Hoot System 
Developed by Texas Pecan Nursery 
Assures SUCCESS for YOU! 
Our Trees Are Famous 
for Their Root System 
The SUCCESS or FAILURE to a great 
extent of any pecan tree lies in its 
root system. The lateral roots gather the 
food and moisture from the soil and 
naturally the more of such feed roots a 
tree has, the quicker and better it will live, 
grow and produce bountiful crops. The 
unusual lateral-root system we have devel¬ 
oped during 27 years of constant experi¬ 
mentation and practical work has made our 
trees famous all over America and in many 
foreign countries. You will save time and 
make more money by planting these well- 
rooted trees of known value. 
90 % to 100% of Our Trees 
Live and Grow 
O UR own records—as well as those of 
our customers—show that at least 
90% of our trees live, grow and produce 
profitable crops of pecans, when given a 
fair chance. This amazing vitality is due 
to their splendid lateral root systems which 
average from 24 to 36 inches across, as 
compared to those with very few lateral 
roots cut short as found on many other 
trees. This difference in roots can easily 
mean a difference of hundreds of dollars 
every year in future revenue. You can’* 
afford to take chances on the roots; buy 
trees from us and get GUARANTEED extra 
good lateral roots. ALL MEASUREMENTS 
OF TREES ARE MADE FROM THE 
GROUND LEVEL UP.

D ON’T deprive yourself and your family of the 
safe and sure income that our Papershell Pecans 
can briug to you—merely because you think it “takes 
too long.” 
Cash Returns Almost Before You Know It 
The trees you plant note should yield their first crop 
in 4 to 5 years. In 8 to 10 years their nuts should be 
commercially profitable and within a few more years they 
should be paying you a real nice income per acre 
each year and your land should be worth $500 to 
$1,000 per acre. 
An Increase In Value Each Year 
Remember that our trees usually begin to bear young. 
Remember, too, that pecan trees continue to increase in 
yield —and in PROFITS—for 100 years or longer. 
Surely, you can look ahead a few years in life; surely, 
you can wait eight to ten years for the returns on an in¬ 
vestment which will yield an independent income during 
several generations—and which will become increas¬ 
ingly valuable with each passing year! 
What Our Customers Say 
Pecans have been my hobby for about 12 or 15 years. At the 
beginning. 1 had some experience icith young trees grotcn in 
the deep soils of Louisiana. Alabama, Georgia, and Florida, with 
few lateral roots—you know the results. / saw your ad and 
tried some of your trees. The root systems were as advertised. 
Since that time it has been very gratifying to feel that 1 could 
direct my friends to a source of pecans with root systems that 
would grow. —IF’. M. Apple, San Antonio, Texas. 
I want to say a word about your trees. In 1919 1 set out six 
of your pecan trees in my yard anil garden. In 1933 1 gath¬ 
ered over 200 pounds of fine pecans. I wouldn't take $50.00 
apiece for my trees. — H. C. Arrington, Anderson, Texas. 
You may be interested to know that both trees that I bought 
from you last year survived the drought, and the Western 
Schley had two pecans on it this past fall. 1 think this fact 
has interested several other city dwellers in pecan trees for 
yard trees. — A. C. Burnett, Dallas, Texas. 
Wish to thank you for the fine pecan and walnut trees. Every¬ 
one who has seen the trees say they are the best they have 
ever seen. —/no. H. Boggess, Anderson, Texas. 
Just a line to let you know that the 100 peach trees purchased 
of you last winter are practically all living and making a very- 
good growth. In fact we are surprised at the growth in the 
first year. — D. /V. Beasley, Waynoka, Oklahoma. 
Please send me your price list on pecan and fruit trees. The 
first Burkett trees 1 bought from you four years ago are doing 
fine and are full of nuts and have received some very good 
compliments. I can't praise them too highly .—/. D. Cottman, 
Guthrie, Oklahoma. 
I got 40 pounds of nuts from one of my ten-year-old Burketts 
from you.—Anna Ekola, El Paso, Texas. 
Why Our Pvvtut Trees Lire -- /tear Earlier - - Produce 3§ore 
Xu Is — anti MAKE MOKE MONEY for YOU! 
I This is one of the oldest and largest Pecan Nurseries in 
• existence today. We have made a special study as to where 
varieties do best, and we give you the benefit of this experience. 
W r e can fill your order for any of the standard leading varieties. 
You will get a careful selection of the best trees for your section, 
as we cull and burn more trees than most pecan nurseries grow. 
The big reason for the success of our trees is our 
superior lateral-root system (described above) which 
has been developed thru our 27 years of proper selection of 
seed nuts and soil, and our cultivation methods. 
• • We grow our trees near the center of the world's largest 
• P • natural pecan region, where they are acclimated to your 
soil and weather conditions. We grow all the leading varieties 
best adapted to States west of the Mississippi River and they 
are toughened by cold winters and hot, dry summers. Trees 
purchased from agents, and which are usually brought in from 
the East and Coastal sections, are not acclimated to the South¬ 
west and simply do not live, grow and produce here in the 
Southwest like our trees. 
I Each of our trees is dug separately by hand (to preserve 
• its excellent lateral-root system) and they are shipped to 
you the same day they are dug. They are kept moist until they 
reach you—usually 24 to 48 hours earlier than trees from 
eastern nurseries—and you save money on freight and express. 
This nursery is thoroughly reliable and furnishes the 
• best of both moral and financial references. You take 
no risks when you buy from us; you know who and where we 
are, and you can hold us responsible for the quality and service 
we promise you. We GUARANTEE every tree you purchase 
from us to be high grade, first class stock and to have a good 
lateral-root system. 
WALNUTS, Too. Should Bo Planted by Every Land Owner 
mttT HILE we can not recommend English walnuts in a 
commercial way, the Wilson Wonder and one or 
two others are showing up fair in this section. The im¬ 
proved black walnuts are proving up good. We offer 
hardy, heavy-bearing trees—both English Walnuts and 
Improved Black Walnuts —that are early and prolific pro¬ 
ducers of crops of rich, sweet, thin-slielled nuts. (See 
varieties and prices on the other side of this page.) 
What Our Customers Say 
Five years ago I bought 14 pecan trees from you. I set those 
trees on bottom land six or eight feet above water. They have 
made a nice growth and were all filled with blooms this year. 
Four of them have ripened a few pecans of nice size, of which 
I am very proud.—Luther Cubine, Cage, Okla. 
Gentlemen, I am so pleased icith your trees that 1 have to write 
you about them. Out of the 100 trees I have, 100 % are 
growing and there is not one that has not put more than two- 
foot growth since spring. On the same orchard I also planted 
two hundred other trees and have lost forty out of the 200 
trees. 1 truly can say that you have the best trees in every¬ 
way—root system, healthy, strong trees. Herewith is a picture 
of one of them. — A. H. Ehrig, Brenliam, Texas. 
I recently ordered a Western Schley pecan tree from you with 
an order sent in by Col. A. C. Burnett. This tree arrived in good 
condition, and I must slate it is certainly a lovely tree, and I 
am highly pleased with it. 1 will probably want one or two 
additional later on. — H. P. Hallett, Dallas, Texas. 
You should see my trees now. The growth so far this season 
is wonderful. Last year was very dry at my farm—Sudan grass 
died. It is a wonder any of my trees lived and really, I think 
cutting them off before planting teas the saving feature. The 
roots did not have so much to support.—Claude McCauley, 
Pearsall, Texas. (Mr. McCauley set trees 8 to 9 feet and up; 
cut to stumps 36 inches high.) 
1 bought a few trees last year from three different nurseries, 
but found yours to be the best by far that 1 got. — R. B. C. 
Ward, Sabinal, Texas. 
I set out fifty of your pecan trees in February, 1932. They 
have done well and to my surprise one of them, a Delmas. 
bore seven fine nuts this year.—David McGee, Fort Worth, 
Texas.
