ALL BEARING SIZE GRAYWAY TREES ARE GIVEN OUR 
WITHOUT 

Our customers have been so well pleased with our method of classifying our Western Grown papershell trees that we 
ere using it again. The usual method of using height alone very often places tall, slender trees in a_ high 
where they do not belong. The diameter of a tree is, in our opinion, the best indication of its value; so we 
altogether by diameter rather than by height. 
The illustrations and specifications are for your guidance, to make it easy for you to order just what you 
varieties and trees vary slightly. Bear in mind that no. two trees are exactly alike. We have chosen trees in 
tions as fair representatives of the various classes. 
PARCEL POST SIZES. Sizes Nos. 177 and 207 may be sent by parcel post right to your mail box. The No. 177 
shell tops two feet or more in length and are dug about 214 feet deep, making the entire tree nearly five feet long. 
is a larger tree, running nearly six feet long, root and top. Both these sizes will transplant easily, and with reasonable 
100% of them should live and grow. 
GUARANTEE: We guarantee our papershell trees to be true to variety and in first-class condition when they leave 
but we do not guarantee them to live or grow — see our guarantee terms elsewhere in our catalog.

the nursery, 
using “B" GRADE TREES 
““B'' GRADE TREES are just as good fundamentally as the Standard ''A’’ Grade, except they have trunks or 
tops not straight enough to be put in the top grade. Some of them ma 
that will heal over and not hurt the real worth of the tree. If you are planting an orchard and want your money 
to go just as far as possible and don't mind staking a few trees, we recommend the ''B'' Grade trees for your 
consideration. It is the grade that | nearly always use in my own orchard planting, for experience has shown 
me that crooks in young trees don't amount to much as they grow out naturally as the tree gets older. 
We have been selling ''B'' trees for many years to customers who have come to the nursery where they could 
see them in person, but this is the first time we have ever put them in our catalog. 
"C'" GRADE TREES are too crooked for the ''B'' grade—often have tops bent over at quite an angle and 
need staking for a year or two. Some have a short root or a split limb, etc. 
bottom land or a field where you don't want to spend much money for trees, perhaps the C-grades will fill the 
bill They usuaily sell for about half price, and a good percent of them should develop into nice trees.

Fresh dug Grayway Pa- 
pershell Pecan Trees will 
transplant successfully un- 
til late March and some- 
times early April. We 
have never had to stop 
earlier than March 20th 
* 
In transplanting Paper- 
shell Pecan Trees, dig the 
hole deep enough to per- 
mit the upper side or lat- 
eral root to be about the 
width of a man's hand, 
or approximately four 
inches beneath the top of 
the ground. This usually 
plants the tree about the 
same depth as it original- 
ly grew. 
* 
Planting trees or shrubs 
too deply often harms or 
even kills them by smoth- 
ering the roots. Roots 
must have air in order to 
function properly. It is a 
mistaken idea. to think 
that deep planting puts 
the roots down where they 
can get more moisture; 
if the roots get a lot of 
moisture and no air, they 
sour and of course the 
tops die. 
* 
Termites sometimes kill 
newly planted trees by 
eating out the inside of 
the roots. Such damage 
is easily determined by 
digging out the roots. If 
termites are present, they 
may often be trapped by 
partly burying tightly roll- 
ed wet newspaper near 
the tree. Remove the wet 
paper periodically and 
destroy the termites. Keep 
this up for a time, and it 
often permits successful 
tree growth. Stand the 
wet papers vertically, let- 
ting a few inches extend 
into the air to permit 
easy removal. 
* 
One of the best Ways 
to prevent borer damage 
to newly planted paper- 
shell pecan trees is to 
wrap the trunks with 
Paper. The wrapping 
should extend from the 
ground to the first limb 
and should be of suffi- 
cient thickness to last 
throughout the first sum- 
mer. From 15 to 20 thick- 
nesses of newspaper are 
all right. Paper wrappings 
protect from borers, from 
sunburn and from rabbits. 
Burlap will protect from 
sun and rabbits. but NOT 
from borers. We recom- 
mend this paper wrapping 
for all pecan trees for the 
first summer. Wrap for 
a second summer if the 
tree has not gotten off 
to good growth, as borers 
are fond of trees in a 
weakened condition.
