ergy. Customers find them easy to

pressed amazement at the way these

and properly cared for. Thev are

GRAYWAY 
TREES MAKE GOOD! 
Many customers tell us that their 
GRAYWAY Papershell Pecan Trees he- 
gin to bear the second year. Hundreds 
of our nursery trees are bearing de- 
licious pecans right in the nursery 
rows every year. 
Many GRAYWAY Papershell Pecan 
Trees shipped for transplanting in the 
orchards of our customers were bear- 
ing before they were sold. Visitors 
have expressed surprise upon seeing 
tree after tree with fine clusters of 
nuts on them right in our nursery 
rows, thinking as so many do, that 
they would have to wait years for the 
first crop of delicious papershell pe- 
cans.

in this fine GRAYWAY orchard were 
only 7 years old. Nearly 1,000 GRAY-
