TO CUSTOMERS AND FRIENDS 
This catalogue is sent to past customers as a 
reminder that I remember them and appreciate 
their business, and solicit their future arders; toa 
prospective nut tree buyers as an invitation to 
oecome my customers. 
My nursery is located in the heart of the 
northern pecan tree territory in a soil especially 
adapted to growing nut trees wnere they grow 
an unusually good root system, making them 
easy to transplant and quick to start growth. 
Nut trees are the longest lived of all food pro- 
ducing trees, and once establisned require ess 
care and attention than fruit trees, as they do 
not need to he sprayed and after the head of 
the tree is once tormed little or no pruning is 
necessary. 
Budded or grafted trees bear early. An or- 
chard of them in a few years should come into 
profitable bearing, and will last tor a century or 
more. Plant oniy budded or grafted trees of 
Hardy Northern varieties.

creasing annual dividends, not only to the plant- 
er but to future generations as well. It is just 
aS much a mistake to buy the cheapest nut 
trees you can buy as it is the cheapest article 
of clothing. 
There are thousands of acres of land in each 
State, not producing enough to pay the taxes, 
that would return handsome profits if planted 
to nut trees. 
As nut trees live so long and attain sucn a 
great size they should he planted very wide 
apart, so they may be grown on land that is to 
be annually cultivated to grain crops, and in- 
terfere very little with cultivation. 
Nut tree planting should not be confined to 
orchards, they may be grown almost anywhere 
a tree is wanted. They make beautiful shade, 
and a iew of them planted around the home 
serve a twofold purpose of shade and food. 
Nuts are not perishe’le, and may he kept
