HOW TO PLAN A MODERN 
GRAYWAY 
- PAPERSHELL PECAN ORCHARD 

This beautiful pecan orchard, just in its tenth year, belongs to the U. S. 
Government. 
Good soil—good trees—good care. 
PLAN ADAPTED FROM U. S. 
GOVERNMENT PLANTING 
During the past few years we have been using, in 
quite a number of commercial plantings for our cus- 
tomers, an orchard plan adapted from the planting 
plan of an orchard of about 2,000 trees belonging to 
the U. S. Government near Brownwood, Texas. The 
heart of this plan is the utilization of early, heavy- 
bearing varieties spaced to occupy the land fully dur- 
ing the early life of the orchard, thereby bringing it 
into paying production at a very early age. 
Over 2500 pounds delicious papershell pecans per acre the fifteenth year 
—nearly $1000 per acre retail value. 
Look how the trees are hanging with nuts. 
EARLY and HEAVY 
PRODUCTION 
We believe it is possible for a well cared for pecan 
orchard set according to our modern plan actually to 
pay for itself before the ordinary planting will come 
into profitable commercial production. 
An orchard set by this plan should come into com- 
mercial production from 3 to 5 years earlier than the 
ordinary planting, be in profitable bearing stage at 
6 to 8 years of age, and in commercial production at 
around 10 years of age as compared with I5 to 20 
years for the usual planting. The orchard should 
produce QUADRUPLE the income of an _ ordinary 
planting for the first 12 to I5 years, and DOUBLE 
it for the following 8 to 12 years. 
Our modern plan also provides POLLENIZERS. In 
recent years scientific workers have shown that certain 
varieties of pecans produce better with other nearby 
varieties to furnish pollen at the proper time.

It doesn't take long to grow a bearing GRAYWAY Papershell Pecan Tree. 
In former years, many thought it took 25 to 30 years to have a bearing papershell pecan 
orchard, but it doesn't take long to have a fine, producing orchard with the GRAYWAY modern scientific planting plan, with proper management, and above all, with 
these amazing early-bearing GRAYWAY papershell pecan trees on tested rootstocks. 

We're proud of our GRAYWAY Paper-

coupled with a deterntination to give
