lt Pays To Plant 
Only the Finest Trees 
FoR years we have made the offer to anyone to inspect 
pecan nurseries anywhere in the world and ours, and if 
they did not find ours to have more and finer pecan trees 
than they found at any other single nursery in the world, we 
would pay the entire cost of the inspection trip! 
Our Trees Have The Finest Root Systems 
O pecan trees have finer root systems than the trees we 
grow here at Lumberton. Our soil is ideal for the devel- 
opment of a full root system, thrifty, vigorous and healthy. 
We have had thousands of visitors during the past 40 years, 
and without an exception they have said they saw the finest 
pecan trees growing here that they had ever seen. 
Our Trees Are Packed the Best 
OU can buy fine pecan trees, but if they are not dug and 
packed well for shipment, you have nothing when you 
get them, for they will not live and grow well for you. We 
dig our trees by hand, with specially designed and manufac- 
tured shovels, and we go deeper and get finer roots than any 
nursery we know of.

On this page there is a picture of a bale of pecan trees ready 
for shipment; trees are packed carefully and thoroughly so 
they will not dry out or be bruised or broken during ship- 
ment. We have used many different materials in testing the 
finest ways to get our choice Bred-Up trees to the customer 
in the best condition, and the way we pack our trees today has 
proved itself best for the customer. 
Call For Trees As Soon As They Arrive 
WE send a notice on the day trees are shipped, so the cus- 
tomer may expect their arrival. When trees arrive, inspect 
them before accepting the shipment, to be sure that none was 
broken or damaged in transit. If any tree is damaged, have 
the postman or the expressman make the proper notation on 
the receipt you sign. Send us the slip showing the damage, and 
we can file claim and send you a duplicate tree. We cannot 
file claim unless you send us the receipt signed by the agent, 
showing damage to the shipment.
