TO CUSTOMERS AND FRIENDS 
This catalogue is sent to past customers as a 
remincer that I remember them and appreciate 
their business, and solicit their future orders; to 
prospective nut tree buyers as an invitation ta 
become one of my customers. 
My nursery is tscatec in the heart o7 the 
northern pecan tree territory in a soil especially 
adapted to grow.ng nut trees where they grow 
an unusually good root «ystem, m2king them 
easy to transplant and quick to start growth. 
Nut trees are the l:ngest lived of ell food pro- 
ducing trees,.and once established require less 
care and attention than fruit trees, as they do 
not need to be sprayed and after the head of 
the tree is once formed little or no pruning is 
necesiary. 
Budded or grafted trees bear early. An or- 
chard of them in a few years should come into 
prefitable bearing, and will last for a century or 
mor. Plant only budced or grafted trees of 
Hardy Northern variet-es. 
Planting a nut orchard is not a speculation, if 
the right kind of trees are planted, but an in- 
vestment one that will in a few years pay in- 
creasing annual dividends, not only to the plant- 
er but .o future generations as well. It is just 
as much a mistake to buy the cheapest nut 
trees you can buy as it is the cheapest article 
of clothing. 
There are thousands of acres of land in each 
state, not producing enough to pay the taxes, 
that would return handsome profits if planted 
to nut trees. 
As nut tree live so long 32nd attain such a 
great size ‘they should be planted very wida 
apart, so they may be grown on land that is to 
be annually cultivated to grain crops, and in- 
terfere very little with cultivition. 
Nut tree planting should not be confined toa 
orchards, they may be grown almost anywhere 
a tree is wanted, they make beautiful shade, 
and a few of them, planted around the home 
serv? the twofold purpose of shade and food. 
Nuts are not perishable, and may be kept
