F or the thoughtful, careful farmer or orchardist, the Pecan still stands 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 grove and givms 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 lus 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-third year as growers of Pecan nuts and Pecan nursery stock. We have had wide experience in every 
phase of the industry. The knowledge gained from this experience is available to our customers. There is not sufficient space 
in this book to include it all here, but much information is available which we will be glad to send you free on request. 
There is little danger of overproduction 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.
