SCIENTIFIC CHEMICAL — 
ROOT TREATMENT 


We are the first to offer this new Scientific 
Chemical Root treatment developed by workers 
in the U. S. Pecan Laboratory in Texas. 
The photograph speaks for itself, showing 
how this new chemical substance causes new 
root growth on transplanted pecan trees to an 
amazing degree. A comparison of treated and 
untreated pecan trees showing the more rapid 
growth of treated trees can be seen by any one 
visiting the orchard of the U. S. Government 
at Brownwood, Texas. We are successfully 
transplanting large, bearing-size pecan trees by 
the use of this chemical. Trees transplant with 
less set-back and grow more rapidly.

SEE THE DIFFERENCE! 
What a difference! Untreated and 
treated roots of two pecan trees, same 
age, transplanted, then dug at the end 
of the first season. Photograph shows 
amazing new root growth stimulated on 
the right hand tree by root treatment. 
Left hand root had no treatment. 
TESTED ROOTSTOCKS 
A papershell pecan tree really is two separate individuals united by 
budding or grafting. It consists of a papershell TOP budded or grafted 
onto the ROOT or underground portion. The best papershell top budded 
on an inferior root produces only an inferior tree; it is like a fine house 
built om a quicksand foundation. 
Since the top of the tree must depend upon the root for food and moist- 
ure, we decided that if we could find a superior rootstock, we could then 
produce a ‘‘double-improved’’ papershell pecan tree, with ‘‘SGood Blood at 
Both Ends.”’ For nearly 15 years we have been testing and comparing root- 
stocks from hundreds of sources, growing them side by side year after 
year until we could eliminate the weaklings and retain the stocky, uniform, 
vigorous ones that we now use as our TESTED ROOTSTOCKS, exclusively 
in our nursery for GRAYWAY customers. 
It is this ““extra’’ or double-value that GRAYWAY trees carry to our 
customers. 
A Pecan Tree Can’‘t Be Any Better Than Its Roots 
That’s why we have improved the roots as well as the tops of our trees 
““Good Blood At Both Ends of the Tree”
