All B ass Trees are Budded or Gra fted 
^HESE two saucers of nuts show another reason why Bass trees are such sure and heavy pro¬ 
ducers. Pecan trees have that natural tendency to revert back to the way they were pro¬ 
duced ages ago, and even a large pecan planted is almost certain to bear a tiny nut later. 
Ordinarily a nurseryman will plant these tiny nuts, depending upon their buds or grafts to 
produce the larger nuts. 
In our nursery we plant the larger nuts, which cost us several times as much as the smaller 
ones. We get the proper start for our trees assuring quality for you. 
To produce large and profitable pecans, the young trees must be budded or grafted. Some 
prefer the budded, and others the grafted, but each method is equally as valuable and productive, 
and we do both. We do not buy buds or grafts from unknown sources, but produce them our¬ 
selves from heavy bearing parents in our orchards. Therefore we know their history. We 
take the grafts and buds, not from prunings off nursery stock, as is often customary, but from 
branches of our own bearing trees, thereby causing us to lose thousands of pounds of nuts each 
year from our own crop.

Success Pecans 
Three Generations of Culture 
TT TAKES years of training, cultivation, experiments and experience, to produce thrifty pecan 
trees. The Bass Nursery has behind it two generations, with a third ready to carry on. These 
trees are a science and a life business for us. Eor 30 years we have served the South, and trees 
sold even in our first year are now in great producing groves. 
Bass Trees Not Confined to the South! 
"Have been buying pecan trees from various nurseries for the past five years but have had 
rather bad luck in getting good trees. Have never bought from you because was afraid your trees 
grown too far south for this climate. Have changed my mind since seeing the trees you sold 
to W. E. Carruth of this city. They are now heavy producers and the fruit is of good quality.”
