Methods of Shipment 
EXPRESS shipment is made on orders containing trees larger than our 3 to 4 ft. size. 
We notify you on the day that shipment is made, so that you may be expecting arrival of the 
trees at your local express office. Shipment is made via express collect, the person receiving 
the trees to pay the charges thereon. Express shipment is fast and a special rate governs the 
shipment of nursery stock. 
PARCEL POST shipment is made on orders for trees no larger than 3 to 4 feet, if desired. 
Ten per cent may be added to your order for the postage, and we will prepay them. If the 
postage should run more than the 10% we take the loss. This service is rapid, and is excellent 
for RFD customers, since the trees will be delivered to your mailbox. 
OTHER methods of shipment can be arranged, if necessary, although the two methods 
above are most satisfactory in nearly all cases. Motor freight shipment is not satisfactory 
because of delay at terminal points; and other freight (railroad) is too slow for perishable trees. 
Air express can be used, but is too expensive for shipments inside the United States. 
But no matter how trees are shipped, examine them before accepting them from either 
the postman or expressman. For if a tree is damaged in transit, and notice is made to the 
delivery agent, he will mark the damage on your receipt; you send the receipt showing the 
damage to us, and we can duplicate the shipment (or part that was damaged), and file claim 
for the value of the damages. 
Government Bulletins and Experiment Stations 
The United States Government maintains three large experiment stations and laboratories 
specializing in the culture of pecan trees. These are the U. S. Pecan Experiment Station, 
Albany, Georgia; U. S. Pecan Experiment Station, RFD No. 6, Meridian, Miss.; and U. S. 
Pecan Laboratory, Court House Bldg., Shreveport, La. Free government bulletins are also 
available by writing your Congressman, or the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Washington 
25, D. C. Of particular interest are the following: 
No. 700—Pecan Culture 
No. 1501—Nut-Tree Propagation 
No. 1829—Insects and Their Control 
Pecan Buds and Gratte For Sale 
Thousands of buds and grafts are supplied each year to all sections of the U. S. for propa- 
gating young trees either by root grafting, or top budding or grafting. Buds and grafts are 
selected by experts from our finest young trees and are the finest to be had. The success of 
any budding or grafting depends on the ability of the operator and the quality of the material 
used. Poor buds or grafts mean poor results even for the best propagator. Five cents (5¢) 
per bud or graft, in lots of 25 or more, is the lowest price we can afford to cut back our best 
trees for. In lots of 500 or more we get 4¢ each, and in lots of 1000 or more 3!44¢ each. Such 
fine varieties as Stuart, Success, and Mississippi Giant are furnished, and in limited quantities 
we can also supply Lewis, Dependable, Moore, Moneymaker, Forkert, and Davis—all fine 
varieties,
