TO CUSTOMERS AND FRIENDS 
This catalogue is sent to past customers as a 
reminder that i remember them and appreciat2 
tneir business, and solicit their .uture orders; to 
prospective nut tree buyers as an invitation to 
Lrecome my customers. 
My nuisery is i1ovated in the heart of the 
no:thern pecan tree territory in a soil especially 
adapted to growing nut trees wuere they grow 
an unusually good root system, making them 
easy to transplant and quick to start growta. 
Nut trees are the longest lived of all food pro- 
ducing trees, anda once eStadllsned require 1esS 
care and attention than fruit trees, as they do 
not need to be sprayed and a.ter the heau of 
the tree is once iormed little or no prun.ng is 
necessaly. 
Budded or grafted trees bear early. An or- 
chard of them in a few years should come into 
profitable bearing, and will last for a century or 
more. Plant on.y budded or grafted trees of 
Hardy Northern varieties. 
Pianting a nut orchard is not a speculation, if 
the right kind of trees are planted, but an in- 
vestment; one that will in a few years pay in- 
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 cheapesi article 
of clothing. 
There are thousands of acres of land in each 
scate, 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 such a 
great size they should be planted very wide 
apart, so they may be grown on land that is to 
be annua’ly cultivated to grain crops, and in- 
terfere very little with cultivation. 
Nut tree planting should not be confined toa 
orchards, they may be grown almost anywhere 
a tree is wanted. They maxe beautiful shade, 
and a .ew of them planted around the home 
serve a twofold purpose of shade and food. 
Nuts are not perishable, and may be kept
