Success Pecans 
All Bass Trees are Budded or Grafted 
HESE two saucers of nuts show another reason why Bass trees are such sure and heavy 
producers. Pecan trees have that natural tendency to revert back to the way they were 
produced ages ago, and even a large pecan planted is almost certain to bear a tiny nut later. 
Ordinarily, a nurseryman will plant these tiny nuts, depending upon their buds or grafts to 
produce the larger nuts. 
In our nursery we plant the larger nuts, which cost us several times as much as the 
smaller ones. We get the proper start for our trees, assuring quality for you. 
To produce large and profitable pecans, the young trees must be budded or grafted. Some 
prefer the budded, and others the grafted, but each method is equally as valuable and pro- 
ductive, and we do both. We do not buy buds or grafts from unknown sources, but produce 
them ourselves from heavy bearing parents in our own orchards. Therefore, we know their 
history. We take the grafts and buds, not from prunings off nursery stock, as is often cus- 
tomary, but from branches of our own bearing trees, thereby causing us to lose hundreds of 
pounds of nuts each year from our own crop. 
Three Generations of Culture 
[Tt TAKES years of training, cultivation, experiments and experience to produce thrifty pecan 
trees. The Bass Nursery has behind it two generations, with a third ready to carry on. 
These trees are a science and a life business with us. For 35 years we have served the South, 
and trees sold even in our first year are now in great producing groves. 
FREE INFORMATION ON PECAN GROWING 
Write to the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Washington 25, D. C., and ask to 
be sent any free farmers’ bulletins on pecan culture. There are several available. 
Also write the U. S. Pecan Experiment Station at Albany, Georgia, for any special 
information needed. A fine government experiment station is maintained at Albany for 
the benefit of pecan growers, and will be glad to furnish freely helpful advice and 
suggestions.
