Methods of Shipment 
Express shipment is made on orders containing trees larger than 3-4 ft. size by Railway 
Express. We notify you the day that shipment is made so that you may expect the arrival 
of your trees at your express office. Shipment is made by Express Collect. Express shipment 
is fast and a special rate governs the shipment of nursery stock. 
PARCEL POST shipment may be made on orders containing no trees larger than our 
3-4 ft. size, if desired. Fifteen percent may be added to your order for postage and we will 
prepay it. If the postage is more than fifteen per cent we take the loss. This service is rapid 
and is especially desirable for R.F.D. customers, since the trees will be delivered to your mail box. 
OTHER methods of shipment can be arranged, if necessary, although the above are 
most satisfactory in nearly all cases. Motor Freight shipment is often unsatisfactory because 
of delay at terminal points; railroad freight is too slow for perishable trees; air express 
can be used, but is too expensive for shipments inside the United States. 
Special Notice 
Before accepting your trees from either the postman or expressman, be sure to examine 
the bundle carefully. If trees are damaged in transit be sure the deliveryman marks the 
damage on your receipt. Send us your receipt showing extent of damage, and we will file 
claim for the damage. 
If refused “account of damage’, we can make you a new shipment. 
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 Grafts 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 314¢ 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.
