BASS PECAN COMPANY. LUMBERTON, MISSISSIPPI* 
THESE GUARANTEES FULLY PIIOTEET YOU 
It’s easy for anyone to make any guarantee, but have you assurance that the guarantee 
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. 
Should any of our No. 1 pecan die within 
one year — if properly cared for — we’ll share 
the loss with you and replace 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 competition 
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 liberally for your time 
if you do not find our nursery to have more 
and better pecan trees than any nursery any¬ 
where. You might care to visit around to 
make comparisons. 
If we were not positive about our own trees, 
would we dare to make such an offer? 
Our Pineapple Sand Pears are positively 
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 guar¬ 
antee them all to be true to name, high in 
quality, good healthy stock, free from disease. 
Stock damaged in transit, if notified imme¬ 
diately, 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.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS DF SALE 
Terms Are Cash With Order. We pay spot cash 
for everything and sell the same way. It saves us 
a lot of bookkeeping and annoyance and enables us 
to sell our high-grade, bred-up trees cheaper. Some 
prefer to have goods sent C. O. D., but why pay 
that extra collection fee? Why not send money with 
order? Prices are F. O. B. Lumberton, unless other¬ 
wise stated. 
How to Send Money. Send money any way that 
is most convenient for you. Why not send the 
money and save the C. O. D. fee? We prefer 
money orders. 
We cannot ship trees by mail except smallest 
pecans and fruits. 
Our Shipping facilities are exceptionally good. We 
are near the depots of two railroads and have open 
stations both day and night. Also have long dis¬ 
tance telephone and telegraph service at all times. 
You can get us over telephone any time. 
-■ We Are Not Connected With Any Other 
Our Trees Always Freshly Dug. We can dig and 
ship your trees any day. 
Order Early. The demand for our high-grade, bred- 
up trees far exceeds the supply, and it is very im¬ 
perative that you send in your order early. Those 
who order early naturally receive the choicest stock. 
Time of Shipment. Unless otherwise instructed, 
orders received during the shipping season, Novem¬ 
ber 1st to April 1st, will be forwarded as soon as 
possible after receipt of the order. 
Substitution. If out of the varieties ordered, we 
will send the ones we think to be the equal or 
superior unless instructed not to substitute. 
No Charge for Packing. We carefully pack and 
tag all trees free of charge. 
Our Trees Free of Disease. A certificate of inspec¬ 
tion of the Mississippi State Entomologist certifying 
our trees to be free of disease accompanies each 
bundle of trees. All inspection laws of other States 
are complied with.
