(Names and addresses on request only) 
MEMPHIS, TENN.: ‘‘I would like again to tell you 
what a wonderful pecan grove of about 125 bearing 
trees, ninety percent from your nursery, I have. I do 
love to recommend you and your trees. You have 
probably been one of the greatest benefactors the 
South has produced in this century, if for no other 
virtues, in the propagation, exploitation and the fur- 
therance of the Bred-Up Paper Shell Pecan industry. 
I can think of no better monument or plaque that a 
fellow can leaye behind him when he departs this life 
than trees and the love for trees.’’ W.B.W. 
HOLDCROFT, VA.: ‘‘We purchased some Stuart 
trees from you about 1931; we gathered over one

year. Considering our northern location, we thought 
this was very good.’’ A. L. S. 
NEW ORLEANS, LA.: “I have just returned from

to friends.’’ P.M.H.

rived in first class condition. We find you are very

nicest and largest in diameter that we have ever pur- 
chased. We received some nice compliments from our 
customers, who were all more than pleased with their 
trees.’ X.N. 
HOT SPRINGS. ARKANSAS: ‘‘This is to try to

are. R.A.H.
