Large Orchard Planting 
^EARE in position to not only sell you our choice bred-up trees, but to set out and care for 
large orchards by our own experts. Thus a positive assurance of not only good trees, but 
the attention they need to get a good start. Write us for our very reasonable terms. 
Tree Topping 
pOOR trees are high at any price. Many have bought them elsewhere that won’t bear a nut, 
and we’ve had to come in to save the wreck by tree-topping and budding with our bred-up 
stock. Top-grafting and budding is a special craft and we are prepared to perform this service, 
going anywhere to rejuvenate non-bearing orchards, provided there is a large number of trees 
to topwork.

We Have Many Acres of Fine Land For Sale! 
H ERE at Lumberton, where pecan growing conditions are so ideal, we have for sale many 
acres of fine land. This land is well located — lots of it right along gravel highways that 
are soon to be concreted at no extra cost to the landowner. It is extra fine land for Papershell 
pecans, peaches, pears, plums, grapes, figs, Satsuma oranges, all kinds of early and late vege¬ 
tables and truck growing, and also excellent land for cotton, corn, peas, beans and other farm 
crops. This is a wonderful climate, being warmed in the winter by a breeze from the warm Gulf 
stream and cooled in the summer by light winds most all the time. No finer section can be 
found for cattle, sheep and horse grazing — ample rainfall to make grasses grow fast and stay 
tender. Green feed for stock can be had every day in the year. Health conditions are unusually 
fine — Lamar County ranking right among the healthiest counties in the United States. Fine 
schools, churches, good gravel roads, good citizens and as fine water as you can find in the 
country — water is pure, odorless, tasteless and clear and soft — most ideal. This land is cheap —• 
priced at from $5.00 to $15.00 per acre for uncleared land. This land is easy to clear — usually 
costing from $5.00 to $10.00 per acre. Easy terms are offered by us. 
If You Have Land for Sale 
Perhaps you have land that you want to sell. Plant it in pecan trees! You will immediately increase 
the value of your land and, anyway, make it more salable. Twenty years ago a person of our 
acquaintance bought five acres of land at $20.00 per acre. A few years later he planted the land in 
Bass trees and was offered $1,000 per acre, which price was refused. He realized that by planting pecan 
trees he had increased the value of his land by $950 per acre, for he could have got only $50 an acre for 
the land as he bought it. His land, taxes, and trees were readily paid for in the actual increased value, 
and it was worth a big difference besides.
