A FORTUNE 
From A Small Investment 
An investment of $25.00 was the beginning of what today is the 
TEXAS PECAN NURSERY, INC., one of the WORLD’S LARGEST 
pecan nurseries. 
One of our first discoveries was that the pecan trees then avail¬ 
able were greatly hampered because of inadequate root systems. So 
we gave this our constant study. We made experiment after experi¬ 
ment, year after year. The trees then did not grow satisfactorily 
when transplanted for the same reason that many pecan trees today 
do not. They have practically no lateral or side roots. . We worked on 
the proper idea that if trees could be developed with proper root 
systems, they would grow off faster and bear quicker. Slowly we 
saw good results from our efforts to produce better pecan trees. Be¬ 
cause of the heavy lateral or side root system we had developed, we 
were able to produce a better rooted tree; one that would live and 
grow where the ordinary straight tap-rooted tree would die. 
By propagating trees in the heart of the natural pecan territory 
of the United States, we made it much easier to transplant fine pa- 
pershell pecan trees and get a large percent of them to live and grow, 
thus putting within the reach of thousands of land owners means of 
securing big profits from pecans. Now, after 31 years of untiring 
effort on the part of Texas Pecan Nursery, Inc., YOU can get trees 
acclimated to your farm—trees guaranteed to have the best root 
systems in the world. We all know the value of proper root systems. 
It is the very foundation on which the life of the tree depends. The 
better the root system, the surer the growth. For this reason we call 
your attention particularly to the roots on our trees. This is your 
assurance that you can plant our trees from a small investment and 
make a fortune.
