years growth and made to branch, another year 
giving us a very fine tree. Having an excellent soil 
and climate for pear tree growing, we strive to 
give you a better tree than you are expecting, try- 
ing in every case to give over-size trees if not re- 
quested otherwise. 
Our old customers are our largest buyers and 
most of them have already filed their orders with 
us for their needs this season. 
A deposit check of 10% of the amount of your 
order will make us feel like your order is Ole 
however, we hold such checks till about the time 
digging starts before presenting them to our bank 
for collection. Digging usually begins around the 
first of December depending on moisture condi- 
tions. Right now it is mighty dry, but our trees 
are all right. Our purpose is to let shipments go 
out in the order received, unless requested other- 
wise. 
At present we have prospect of our own truck 
making direct deliveries to Dallas, Fort Worth, 
Houston, Beaumont, Orange, Lafayette, La. and 
intermediate points. In such case, transportation 
will be in line with other common carriers. No 
charge for packing. We believe our packing will 
hold up to the most distant places, and far beyond. 
We invite a visit to see our trees if you expect 
to need a good size order. 
If you can say anything good, or bad, about the 
following list of varieties of Pears, we invite that 
criticism, since we are trying them out to see if 
they will be all right.

Any business concerns in our town and county 
are our reference as to fair dealing. Most East
