Our Beautiful Pecan Nursery Stock 
Bass Trees Hold World's Record 
4 ie is the remarkable bearing record of nine of our Extra Special pecan trees 
set out the last of February by Dr. D. B. Stevenson of Lumberton, Miss. Most 
all of these trees bore pecans the first year set out. They were our largest size trees 
and have been given the very best of attention by Dr. Stevenson. He has fertilized 
the trees very heavily with barnyard manure and worked around them often, so that 
weeds and grass would not get the fertilizer. Results have been remarkable. 
The record that follows was carefully kept by Dr. Stevenson, who is one of the 
best known physicians as well as loved and respected citizens of South Mississippi, 
and is absolutely authentic as he gathered and weighed the pecans himself. The 
trees bearing the heaviest crops were the ones most favorably located. Trees with 
smallest yields were greatly handicapped by being near big oaks, sidewalks, etc. 
The nuts were gathered in October and November two years and eight months later 
—actually before the trees had been set in the ground three years.
