LARGE PROFITS POSSIBLE FROM A SMALL INVESTMENT 
Trees for a Ten-Acre Pecan 
Orchard for Less Than $100 
Many people fail to realize that it requires only a 
small investment to buy sufficient good, well-rooted 
pecan trees to plant a dandy ten-acre orchard. From 12 
to 17 trees to the acre are sufficient, and we can supply 
you with first-class trees, bearing our famous lateral root 
system, for as little as fifty cents each, and up, depend¬ 
ing upon the size and the quantity purchased. (Price 
list of our pecan trees is shown elsewhere here¬ 
in.) A few dollars invested in good, well-rooted 
pecan trees, and just a reasonable amount of 
care given them after they have been planted, 
will prove to be mighty good old-age insurance.

Fruit Orchard Requires 
Only a Small Investment 
Because there are so many combinations of fruits that 
will make a nice orchard, it is impraftical to set any 
fixed amount as being necessary. Write us the kinds 
and varieties of fruits you would like to have in your 
orchard, and tell us the size of the orchard you wish 
to plant. We will be glad to advise you how much 
investment will be required, and will also be glad to 
suggest various combinations which, from our 
experience of many years, we have learned may be 
expected to give the best results from the stand¬ 
point of your location, seasons, and pollination. 
There is, of course, no obligation on your part. 
Our Lateral Root System 
Assures Success for You 
From twenty-eight years of continuous pecan tree culture we 
have learned certain things that enable us to produce better 
pecan trees. Our famous lateral root system has been developed 
as a result of a constant series of experiments conducted by us 
for over a quarter of a century. We found that a good lateral 
root system is the life and making of a pecan tree; that the 
more lateral roots a tree has, the more feed roots it will have. 
A tree cannot have too many feed roots, as they gather the 
plant food and moisture so vital to early, and rapid, growth. 
These feed roots are finally responsible for the all-important 
job of producing pecans. We honestly believe we can supply 
you with pecan trees that will live better, that will grow better, 
and that will produce better , than trees you purchase elsewhere.
