QV pC) PECANS for Profit 
OR the thoughtful, careful farmer or orchardist, 
Pecans still stand at or near the head of the list of 
profitable tree crops. Many owners of Pecan trees 
have neglected them and wondered why they have not 
had good returns, but the grower who intelligently cares 
for his groves, and gives them their proper requirements, 
finds his Pecan trees one of the most profitable invest- 
ments he ever made. The average farmer will still be 
content with growing cotton and corn, and his land will 
be worth no more after it has grown these for a hundred 
years. But the progressive farmer is looking for a crop 
that will increase the value of his land and give him 
Jarger returns each year that the farm is worked.

Weare in our fifty-ninth year as growers of Pecan 
nuts and Pecan nursery stock. We have had wide ex- 
perience in every phase of the industry. The knowledge 
gained from this experience is available to our customers 
and we will be glad to send you such information free 
on request. 
Many progressive farmers are planting a portion of 
their farms to Pecan orchards. Past experience has 
shown them that a well-cared-for Pecan orchard offers 
surer and higher returns than any other tree crop they 
can grow. 
After years of trial we have discovered the best stock 
on which to bud Pecan trees in order to grow a vigorous 
and productive orchard. Our trees are all grown on this 
stock. Many orchards set with inferior (slow-growing) 
trees in the past have been doomed to failure. A runt in 
the nursery generally proves to bea dwarf in theorchard. 
We send out no tree that we would not be willing to set 
out in our own orchards,
