BASS PECAN COMPANY. LUMBERTON, MISSISSIPPI 
These Guarantees Fully Protect You 
I T’S EASY for anyone to make any guarantee, but have you assurance that the guar¬ 
antee will be carried out? No other nursery has dared duplicate our guarantee 
above or any of our other guarantees or propositions listed on this page. It pays to 
deal with the largest Pecan Nursery in the world. 
S HOULD any of our No. 1 pecan trees 
die within one year—if properly cared 
for—^we’ll share the loss with you and re¬ 
place the trees for one-half the regular 
catalog prices. 
If you’re in doubt as to the quality of 
our trees, we’ll ship them to you in com¬ 
petition with any others and allow you 
to select the trees with the finest developed 
root systems. Does anybody else have such 
confidence in their trees? WE KNOW 
OUR TREES AND THOSE OF OTHERS. 
If you will visit us, especially in order 
to be sure about the trees you buy, we 
shall pay all expenses and pay you lib¬ 
erally for your time if you do not find 
our nursery to have more and better pe¬ 
can trees than any nursery anywhere. You 
might care to visit around to make com¬ 
parisons. 
If we were not positive about our own 
trees, would we dare to make such an 
offer ? 
Our Pineapple Sand Pears are posi¬ 
tively blight-proof. They are guaranteed 
not to blight in any section. 
We grow most all our fruit trees, but 
some are supplied by reputable nurseries. 
We guarantee them all to be true to name, 
high in quality, good healthy stock, free 
from disease. Stock damaged in transit, 
if notified immediately, will be replaced, 
if express or freight receipt indicates 
damages. Should any stock prove not true 
to name we will return money or replace 
it with other stock, but are not liable for 
damages beyond this.

WARNING 
F or your sake, beware of the nurseryman who calls at your door with a truckload 
of pecan trees for sale and offers to plant them for you. Sun and wind quickly dry 
out roots, and trees in trucks, unprotected, also previously half dug and poorly packed, 
are often dead before they are set in the ground. Don’t lose that money and the time 
in waiting for them to grow. 
Ask that traveling agent if he will make the same written guarantee that we do; 
then ask yourself if there is a firm back of him that will make the guarantee good. 
Suppose the guarantee is made good, what about the five years you have wasted to 
learn your mistake, and what insurance have you that the new trees will be any better ? 
Why take the chance?
