ALLSTATE PECAN 
The Pecan Trees we sell, under the name of Allstate, 
are as sturdy as an Oak and one of the hardiest Pecans 
we have ever grown. Yields big crops of the most deli- 
cious nuts. The nuts are as large as most varieties of 
the so-called Paper Shell nuts, which are grown in the 
Southern States. Kernels plump and of the finest qual- 
ity, having a-delicious flavor and can easily be taken 
out of the shell in halves. 
Trees have more vigor and vitality than any other 
variety known to us. Rapid in growth and usually be- 
gin bearing young. Trees are very attractive for lawns 
or shade, as they do not shed their large, deep green 
leaves until late Fall. 
Trees will thrive in almost all types of good soil. We 
call this variety Allstate as it can: be successfully grown 
in some sections of almost all States. Allstate is a self 
pollinizing variety. 
Commercially, Pecan Trees are a profitable invest- 
ment. Pecans are one of the most widely used nuts and 
YOUNG ALL- 
STATE PECAN the prices in the store are usually high. If you wish to 
TREE make an investment that will pay you big profits for 
many years, plant a Pecan Grove. We suggest that 
SHADE AND Pecan Trees be planted 25 to 30 feet apart. Why not 
BEAUTY plant your own Pecan Trees and have the satisfaction 
PLUS PROFIT of raising your own Pecans?

Planting Instructions for Pecan 
and Walnut Trees 
A Pecan Tree should be planted in a hole large enough 
to take roots without cramping them and the hole should 
be deep enough so that the tree will be about one inch 
deeper than it was in the Nursery Row. Place the tree in 
the hole, then fill the hole about three-fourths full of good, 
loose soil. Then finish filling the hole with water, let this 
soak down and again fill with water. After the water 
has soaked down the second time, finish filling the hole 
with good soil. In planting in this manner the soil will be 
firm around the roots, keeping out any air spaces which 
is the cause of many Pecan and Walnut Trees failing to 
grow. After care of the trees will be given in 
the planting instruetions, which will be at- 
tached to each shipment.

Gentlemen: 
It is always a source of pardonable pride to realize that 
our efforts are successful and that others appreciate our 
efforts in their behalf. Let me assure you I was much 
pleased with the nursery stock received from you only a 
few days ago; as a matter of fact, I have always been 
pleased with any purchase obtained from Bradley Brothers. 
Here let me say that the “All state” pecan trees purchased 
from you some three or four years ago have grown like 
“weeds” and are a source of much pleasure and pride to me. 
When the weather moderates a little, I shall ask that 
you supply me with some additional trees and shrubs. 
Sincerely, 
















W. R. DUPREE, M.D.
