Whether you plant pecans for beauty or for profits, the result is both. The following instances, 
selected at random from the experiences of thousands of pecan growers, point out a certain 
path to profits for you. 
Pecans Have Paid Others Big Money— 
They Could Pay You, Too! 
A colored farmer in Texas has averaged 800 pounds of nuts from one tree bringing about $300 and as much 
clear money as all of the rest of his sandy farm of 120 acres. He has refused $1,000 for the tree. 
A tree produced $80 worth of nuts in its 18th year alone, although it started bearing the third year. Now 
the tree produces more than 240 pounds each year. It was one of our $1 trees. 
A tree in San Saba, Texas, more than 1000 years old, it is claimed by tree experts, produces an annual 
crop of from $500 up to even $1,000. 
In Hollandale, Miss., there is a 38-year-old tree that produced in one year 1200 pounds of nuts which sold 
for $480. 
Twenty years ago an acquaintance bought 5 acres of land for $20 per acre. After planting in Bass trees he 
refused the price of $1,000 per acre a few years later. 
A Mississippian got 200 pounds of nuts from an 18-year-old tree, and another produced 273 pounds one year 
as an 18-year-old tree, and two years later 330 pounds off the same tree. 
It is said five dollars invested in 5 trees produced in 18 years $6,336.41. 
One of our customers bought two trees for shade, and eight years later got 100 pounds of nuts off the two 
trees, selling half of them for $25. _^_ 
A woman customer wrote she would not take less than $30,000 for her grove of Bass bred-up trees.
