IT DOESN’T TAKE LONG 
TO GROW A BEARING 
PAPERSHELL PECAN 
ORCHARD! 

A prominent grower says that his books show 
that for a period of years, on rich river bottom 
land, if he had had only one papersheil pecan 
tree per acre, he would have made more money 
from pecans than he received from cotton. 
“ACRES OF DIAMONDS” 
Who hasn’t heard the story of the prince in 
South Africa who could see no opportunity in 
his land and traveled all over the world in quest 
of a fortune that never materialized. His grand- 
children became fabulously rich when one of 
the largest diamond mines ever found was dis- 
covered on the land abandoned by the prince. 
Thousands of farm owners throughout the pecan 
growing sections of the U. S.ehave been over- 
looking or neglecting literal “ACRES OF DIA- 
MONDS” right on their own farms—good fields 
of fine pecan-growing soil, strips along the 
creeks, overflow land where it’s risky to plant 
crops, ctc. 
GRAYWAY 
TREES ARE 
INCOME 
BUILDERS 
$480.00 PER ACRE! 

This beautiful papershell pecan orchard was started 2() years ago. 
Each year new trees were added and today the owner has about 3(() 
acres of as beautiful papershell pecan orchard as you will find any- 
where. Trees in some of the first planting produced 200 pounds per 
tree—actually bringing the owner $480.00 per acre—in a single year. 
This will give you some idea of what a properly developed pecan 
orchard can do. 
MORE PROFITABLE 
THAN FIELD CROPS" 
Figure it out for yourself! What if an acre of cotton land, worth 
$15 to $50 per acre, could be made to produce $150, $250, or $480 
per acre in a single year? What would that land then be worth? 
An acre of papershell pecan orchard like the one pictured above 
WILL PRODUCE MORE POUNDS OF PECANS (and at far less 
expense) than pounds of seed cotton. An acre of rich bottom land 
pasture that would do well to produce 150 lbs. of dressed beef, could 
produce easily 1,000 to 2,000 pounds of pecans. Which would make 
the most money? The actual value of farm land is. based on what 
that land will produce—IN DOLLARS AND CENTS! 
And here’s a smart idea. One progressive business-farmer in 
Central Texas has set several hundred GRAYWAY papershell pecan 
trees on tested rootstock in some of his best PASTURE LAND —setting 
the trees wide enongh apart so that beef can be raised on the ground. 
He’ll have his beef and a much more profitable crop of pecans from 
the same acreage, year after year. 
Enhancement of land values has been the foundation of many 
great fortunes. What is farm land worth that will produce $150 to 
$480 per acre per year? That’s the whole story in a nutshell—why 
GRAYWAY papershell pecan trees can DOUBLE, and perhaps t-iple. 
the VALUE OF YOUR FARM LAND. 
In a few years this land will be covered with beauti- 
ful, profit-producing GRAYWAY papershell pecan trees. 
Tree-wise land owners are looking to the future—are 
planting fine GRAYWAY papershell pecan trees now.
