0. S. GRAY NURSERY 
Arlington, Texas 
Dear Folks: 
Would you be surprised to know that there are 
over 50,000 pecan trees growing in my nursery 
here at Arlington—as well as thousands and thon, 
sands of other shrubs, vines, shade trees, ever- 
greens, ornamentals, fruit trees, berry yines, etc.? 
“ve been in the nursery business for over twenty years, 
and have thousands of customers in many different 
states. If you can’t visit my nursery in person, you can 
JUST MAIL ME YOUR ORDER, for many of the things 
that we grow can be shipped direct from our nursery 
to you by parcel post, express, or motor freight. 
When you ORDER BY MAIL, you sit right in your own home 
and write out your order. I believe in a square deal in busi- 
ness just like in other things, and if the plants don’t please 
you when they arrive, return them immediately in good condition 
and get your money back. Visitors are always welcome at our 
nursery. Our nursery is located between Dallas and Fort Worth on 
Highway 80, just one-half mile west of the city limits of Arlington. 
It’s easy to get to in your car, and plenty of free parking space. 
One of the things that I appreciate more than anything else is the 
large number of people who come to our nursery because we have 
been recommended to them by one of our customers and friends. You'll 
find us mighty friendly folks when you visit us. 
You'll find that “The Grayway is the Best Way,” and we are sure you 
will want to “Go the Grayway All the Way.” 
Yours cordially, 
O. S. Gray

Grayway-Grown Plants Are Good Plants 
@ We grow our own papershell pecan trees right in our own fields 
and there’s no middleman when you buy papershell pecan trees at 
GRAYWAY. 
@ GRAYWAY Papershell Pecan trees are chock-full of stored-up 
energy. Customers find them easy to live and grow, and our files 
are full of letters from folks who have expressed amazement at 
the way these GRAYWAY trees just seem to push their roots down_—_ 
into the soil and start growing. 
e@ One secret of the GRAYWAY is found in the care young trees 
receive in our nursery. Every tree is given a good start in life, 
watched and properly cared for, They are grown, dug and handled: 
carefully; and packed to reach the customer in the best possible 
condition, 
e@ The GRAYWAY plan of supervised care from the baby stage 
until the trees are ready for shipment and transplanting is one of 
the many reasons for so many successful GRAYWAY plantings.

territory than probably any other. Lorge,

Mr. G. W. Bechtol of Tarrant County, Texas, inspects his 36,000 pound crop in his young 50- 
acre GRAYWAY-GROWN Papershell Pecan Orchard, only 13 years old. He sold $10,000 worth 
of papershell pecans the 11th year. This fine orchard was planned by O. S. Gray end planted 
with GRAYWAY-GROWN nursery trees. 
What we call our bearing size papershell trees are those that have borne one or more crops of 
nuts in our nursery; mostly trees with trunks 1 ¥2 inches and up in diameter. Those with trunks 
‘Sin! Gnd“up should usuatly be moved with a ball of earth-around the roots—called ““B & B” for 
“balled & burlapped.” Weighing from 500 to 1,500 lbs., they require special winches and trucks 
for handling, and sell for $75.00 and up, planted and guaranteed. Because of the earth around 
the roots, they are pruned very little; so they go right on producing with little delay, giving quick 
production and quick shade, saving several years in time. Ask for prices and sizes for your use, 
@ Our famous GRAYWAY brand papershell pecan trees have been 
planted by the thousands for nearly twenty years over the South 
and Southwest, and some of the finest producing orchards in this 
section were planted with GRAYWAY trees. 
Many customers tell us that their GRAYWAY Papershell Pecan 
trees begin to bear the second year, Hundreds of trees in our nur- 
“Rery are bearing delicious pecans right in the nursery rows. 
Lage numbers of GRAYWAY Papershell Pecan Trees shiped to 
pur customers were bearing nuts before they were sold. Visitors 
have expressed surprise upon seeing tree after tree with big clus- 
fers of nuts right in our nursery.

IT’S EASY 
TO GROW YOUR OWN 
PAPERSHELL PECANS 
There isa home here in Arlington where the _ 
owners have gathered over 1,000 pounds of 
delicious papershell pecans from trees planted 
around the house.and yard. These trees often 
give plenty of delicious nuts not only for home 
use and for gifts to friends, but provide more 
than sufficient funds to pay all taxes. 
There are many thousands of homes where 
a few GRAY-WAY-GROWN papershell pecan 
trees would provide all pecans needed in the 
home and a surplus for sale or gifts. The 
pecan is also one of the most beautiful and 
long-lived of all trees—makes a wonderful 
shade tree. 
Plant a few GRAYWAY-GROWN paper- 
shell pecan trees and grow plenty of delicious 
papershell trees right at your own home.

How To Plan A Modern 
Grayway 
Papershell Pecan Orchard 
We have prepared a leaflet with diagram 
and explanation of details of our Gray- 
way Modern Orchard Plan. Send 10c in 
stamps or coin to defray printing and 
mailing costs. 
“The Gray Way Is The Best Way” 
The Papershell Pecan is one of the most 
beautiful and longest lived of all trees, and it 
bears one of our finest nuts. 
In the value of its delicious nut crop, it 
will repay its cost not once, but over and over * 
again, regardless of whether it’s original cost 
was $1 or $100, 
SAVE! by using 
“Bb” GRADE 
TREES i 
“B’’ GRADE TREES are just as good fundamentally as * 
the Standard ‘’A’’ Grade, except they:have trunks or tops 
not straight enough to be put in the top grade. Some of 
them may have a slight wound or skinned place that will 
heal over and not hurt the real worth of the tree. If you 
are planting an orchard and want your money to go just 
as far as possible and don‘t mind staking a few trees, We 
recommend the ‘’B’ Grade trees for your consideration, 
It is the grade that | nearly always use in my own or- 
chard planting, for experience has shown me that crooks 
in young trees don’t amount to much as they grow out 
naturally as the tree gets older. 
We have been selling “’B’’ trees for many years to aus 
tomers who have come tu the nursery where they eould 
see them in person. They are real “economy” trees. 
“C"" GRADE TREES are too crooked for the ‘“B’’ grade 
—often have tops bent over at quite an angle and need 
staking for a year or two. Some have a short root or.a 
split limb, etc. If you have a piece of hazardous bottom 
land or a field where you don’t want to spend much 
money for trees, perhaps the C-grades will fill the bill. 
They usually ‘sell for about half price, and a good pere 
cent of them should develop into nice trees.
