PECANS Put Profit in the Planter’s Pocket 
F or the thoughtful, careful fanner or orchardist, Pecans still stand 
at or near the head of the list of profitable tree crops. Many 
owners of Pecan trees have neglected them and wondered why they 
have not had good returns, but the grower who intelligently cares for 
his groves, and gives them their proper requirements, finds his Pecan 
trees one of the most profitable investments he ever made. The average 
farmer will still be content with growing cotton and corn, and his land 
will be worth no more after it has grown these for a hundred years. But 
the progressive farmer is looking for a crop that will increase the value 
of his land and give him larger returns each year that the farm is worked. 
We are in our fifty-fourth year as growers of Pecan nuts and Pecan 
nursery stock. We have had wide experience in every phase of the in¬ 
dustry. The knowledge gained from this experience is available to our 
customers, and we will be glad to send you such information free on request. 
There is little danger of overj^roduction of Pecans during the life of 
the present generation. The present production in the United States, 
if evenly divided among all the people in the country, would give only 
about one-half pound of Pecans to each person. As it is, barely more 
than one-half of the people of the United States know what a Pecan 
nut is. It is further to be considered that after our people are provided 
for, we have the remainder of the world for a market. 
After years of trial we have discovered the best stock on which to bud 
Pecan trees in order to grow a vigorous and productive orchard. Our 
trees are all grown on this stock. Many orchards set with inferior (slow- 
growing) trees in the past have been doomed to failure. A runt in the 
nursery generally proves to be a dwarf in the orchard. We send out no 
tree that we would not be willing to set out in our own orchards.
