PRACTICING WHAT I PREACH 

Nearly 2,000 of these young Papershell GRAYWAY trees from my own nursery, 
planted in my own pecan orchard—already starting to bear. 
I am developing a fine pecan orchard on the Colorado River in Bastrop County that I am 
expecting to produce a very material income to assist in educating our children, to provide an 
income after I retire from active business and, finally to be left to our children as a dependable 
source of income after Mrs. Gray and I have passed on, 
Who wouldn’t be proud to own a fine paper- 
shell pecan orchard like this? 
This ‘grandpa’ tree is the largest native 
pecan tree in our orchard, and don’t you think 
it proves that I have good pecan land? We 
have left nearly 100 extra good bearing native 
pecan trees in our orchard and got over 20,000 
lbs. of native nuts from them in a single year. 
Papershell production is now increasing 

rapidly.
