BASS TREES 
Hold World Record! 
This is the remarkable bearing record of 
nine of our Extra Special pecan trees set 
out the last of February, 1923, by Dr. D. B. 
Stevenson, of Lumberton, Miss. Most all of 
these trees bore pecans the first year set 
out. They were our largest size trees and 
have been given the very best of attention 
by Dr. Stevenson. He has fertilized the trees 
very heavily with barnyard manure and 
worked around them often, so that weeds 
and grass would not get the fertilizer. Re¬ 
sults have been remarkable. 
The record that follows was carefully 
kept by Dr. Stevenson, who is one of the 
best known physicians as well as loved and 
respected citizens of South Mississippi, and 
is absolutely authentic as he gathered and 
weighed the pecans himself. The trees bear¬ 
ing the heaviest crops were the ones most 
favorably located. Trees with smallest 
yields were greatly handicapped by being 
near big oaks, sidewalks, etc. The nuts 
were gathered in October and November 
of 1925—actually before the trees had been 
set in the ground three years.
