PECANS Put Profit in the Planter’s Pocket 

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 1s worked. 
OR the thoughtful, careful farmer or orchardist, Pecans still stand 
We are in our fifty-fifth 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 1s available to our 
customers, and we will be glad to send you such formation free on request. 
A bumper crop of Pecan nuts in 1941 throughout the Pecan territory 
has greatly stimulated interest in planting Pecans. Many progressive 
farmers are planting a portion of their farms to Pecan orchards. Past 
experience has shown them that a well-cared-for Pecan orchard offers 
surer and higher returns than any other tree crop they can grow. 
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.
