BASS TREES HOLD 
WORLDS REEDRD! 
This is the remarkable bearing record of nine 
of our Extra Special pecan trees set out the last 
of February by Dr. D. B. Stevenson of Lumber- 
ton, 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. Results 
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 citi¬ 
zens of South Mississippi, and is absolutely 
authentic as he gathered and weighed the pe¬ 
cans himself. The trees bearing the heaviest 
crops were the ones most favorably located. 
Trees with smallest yields were greatly handi¬ 
capped by being near big oaks, sidewalks, etc. 
The nuts were gathered in October and No¬ 
vember two years and eight months later — 
actually before the trees had been set in the 
ground three years.
