Nuts are no longer considered a luxury, but a 
staple article of food, and are used extensively by 
candy manufacturers, bakeri:s, ice cream com- 
panies, as well as in the home. 
This being the natural home of the Hardy 
Northern Pecan Tree, my nursery stock is 
grown under natural conditions, giving them all 
the strength and vigor possible for a tree to 
have. 
The soil in which my nursery is located is es- 
pecially adapted to this, as it is underlaid with a 
strata of hard soil which discourages the down- 
ward growth of the tap roct at a depth of about 
four feet, causing many lateral and feeder roots 
to develop near the surface that would not in a 
sandy or loose sub-soil, This gives my trees a

tree planted this year is always a year ahead of

WHEN TO ORDER 
Early ordering of trees is advised. Orders 
placed well in advance of shipping season, will 
be shipped on any date requested, weather per- 
mittinz, whil2 those placed during the rush seas-

of being in time to get the size and varieties
