PECANS 
qA SMost 
Pecans are One of Our Specialties 
Stuart 
O^OR the thoughtful, careful farmer or orchardist, the pecan still stands at 
0/ or near the head of the list of profitable tree crops. Many owners of pecan 
trees have neglected their trees and wondered why they have not gotten good 
returns, but the grower who intelligently cares for his grove and gives them their 
proper requirements finds his pecan trees one of the most profitable investments 
ie ever made. 
The average farmer will still be content with growing 
cotton and corn, and his land will be worth no more after 
it has grown these for a hundred years. But the pro¬ 
gressive farmer is looking for a crop that will increase 
the value of his land and give him laiger returns each 
year that the farm is worked. 
are in our filty-second year as growers of pecan nuts and pecan nursery 
stock. We have had wide experience in every phase of the industry. The knowl¬ 
edge gained from this experience is available to our customers. There is not 
sufficient space in this book to include it all here, but much information is 
available which we will be glad to send you free on request. 
There is little danger of overproduction of pecans during the life of the 
present generation. The present production of pecans in the United States, if 
evenly divided between every person in the country, would give only about 
one-half pound to each person. As it is, barely more than one-half of the people 
of the United States know what a pecan nut is. It is further to be considered 
that when our people are provided, that we have the remainder of the world 
for a market. 
After years of trial we have discovered the best stock on which to bud pecan 
trees in order to grow a vigorous and productive orchard. Our trees are all 
grown on this stock. Many trees set with inferior (slow growing) trees in the 
past have been doomed to failure. A runt in the nursery generally proves to Schley 
be a dwarf in the orchard. We send 
out no tree that we would not be wil¬ 
ling to set out in our own orchards. 
This orchard was twelve 
years old when photo¬ 
graphed and bore when 
fifteen years old, 1240 
pounds of nuts per acre. 
o4 Few Dollars Invested Now 
May Mean Independence Later 
We know of no other thing offering such rich re¬ 
wards, for which the initial investment is smaller. 
A comparatively few dollars invested now may 
bring you independence later. 
Do you know that right now, throughout the 
pecan belt, there are individual trees that are worth 
from S.5()0 to $1,000 each? The value is REAL for 
it is based on a 0 per cent annual income on these 
amounts. 
Furthermore, when planted about a home, they 
add beauty for the present, and enhance the selling 
price for the future.
